Jitsu -A different story-

Having decided on their plan, both Shizune and Korono began to prepare, Kurono was quite used to it by now, but Shizune was a complete novice who needed Kurono's guidance.

"First of all, you're going to need the right clothes to work out, Shizune-chan." As obvious as it was, Kurono had to tell Shizune that because it was quite an important aspect of exercising.

"I know, Kurono-kun. It would be kind of weird if I go to the gym wearing the clothes I'm wearing right now, hehe." Shizune laughed a little at Kurono's words, but she understood what he meant.

Shizune's words made Kurono sneak a glance. Shizune was dressing simply, she had a black skirt that reached below her knees while on top she wore a peach-colored blouse that seemed light enough not to bother her, but more importantly, her clothes perfectly hugged her figure highlighting it even more, besides the small neckline on her chest was quite tempting for Kurono.

"But don't worry about that, I'm sure I have suitable clothes in the apartment." Shizune said the idea that was in her mind so that Kurono would be calmer.

"If that's the case, let me take you in my car. You can also change your clothes in the gym locker room, so you don't need to do it all at once, I usually do the same." Shizune nodded at Kurono's words, and since everything seemed to be ready, they both left Kurono's house to set off.

They arrived at the apartment where Shizune found everything she thought she needed and then got back in the car while Kurono led the way. Shizune was somewhat anxious about what was ahead of her, although she was also nervous due to her inexperience.

She and Kurono continued to talk about some more things along the way, Shizune had put her things in a small bag, plus she realized that Kurono had done the same, so she felt that no problem would occur.

Before she knew it, the car stopped in what seemed to be the parking lot of the place letting Shizune know that they had arrived and adding Kurono's voice saying exactly that, it made Shizune's nerves now take over.

Kurono opened the door for her to come out of it, but seeing her a little hesitant, he simply took her hand as he gave Shizune a kind smile hoping she wouldn't think too much about the situation.

Shizune saw his action and took his hand without thinking twice, if she was the previous Shizune she would have run away a long time ago if she was alone in that place, but right now, Kurono was transmitting that confidence that she needed.

They both walked away from the car while Shizune now looked carefully at the place, it was her first time seeing a gym in the city, and the first thing she realized was that its design was not something out of this world, but it was still quite unique, you could see the theme of the establishment through the advertisements outside the place, in addition to the fact that some of its walls were totally transparent since it was made entirely of glass, making it possible to see all the equipment and people exercising.

Kurono continued advancing and indicated to Shizune the way, they arrived at the main door at the same time that it opened itself inviting them to come in so that the next moment Shizune could see the interior of the place even better.

As she had seen before, there was a lot of equipment inside, some of it was quite intuitive to her, she had even seen some of it, but there was also a lot that she had no idea what they were or how it was actually used.

She was also able to notice the large number of people who dedicated all their effort to exercising, which made her excitement resurface waiting to try everything that the place had to offer.

She was about to ask Kurono what they should do next, but when Shizune came back to reality, she realized that Kurono was looking around at him as if he were looking for someone.

Shizune was going to ask him if something was wrong, but then, a rather peculiar sound reached their ears, causing a rather peculiar situation to occur.

"Bam!" That sound was produced at the moment when a hand strongly hit Kurono's butt, surprising both him and Shizune. They both turned to find the person responsible for that, but that same person was already letting out an amused laugh making Kurono sigh to himself.

"Well, look who we have here. I haven't heard from you in two weeks, doesn't the past mean anything? Have you forgotten those nights when our bodies seemed to be one? Or all the times we have fun bathing together? You really break my heart, my little Kurono." Those very words belonged to the one responsible for hitting Kurono, and then the figure of that person was fully visible to him and Shizune.

It was about a woman who at first sight you could tell that she was a complete beauty. The delicate features on her face made that even more undeniable, her eyes were a quite noticeable greenish hue, her brown hair was tied up in a simple ponytail at the same time that her cinnamon-colored skin shone a little due to sweat that covered her indicating that she had just exercised enough. She was dressed in a pair of light blue leggings while wearing a black sports top, this made the contour of her completely fit body quite obvious to anyone, highlighting her beautiful butt that stole glances from time to time, but most of all, her generous breasts stood proud making Shizune realize that she had found a powerful rival.

Going back to the previous scene, the comments said by that woman could be totally misunderstood by anyone. Shizune had also heard them and didn't know what to think exactly, it was clear to her that this woman should know Kurono since she had called him that way peculiar, which made her a little nervous.

The woman had a huge smile directed at Kurono after that, Kurono was also aware of her words and he wouldn't mind any of that, but now that Shizune was accompanying him, he had to fix any misunderstanding that might arise before it was too late, so he began by calling the attention of this woman he knew quite well.

"Don't say things that other people might misunderstand, we used to do all of that when we were kids. Something bad will happen in the end if you keep joking like that, Kazumi-nee." Kurono said calmly, he didn't remember how many times he had repeated the same thing to her, but he always made sure to do it.

"Hahaha! Come on. I know you have fun too, you need some excitement in your life after being always busy with your work. I don't want my little brother to end up with a lonely life where his only comfort is sinking into a mountain of papers looking at boring numbers. Haven't you thought about my proposal? I wouldn't mind being taken by you, I remember you always said you wanted to marry me when we were little, hehe." The woman named Kazumi joked a little with Kurono again without caring what he had said before. It seemed that this was already a kind of routine, but before she continued with that, she noticed the figure that was next to Kurono causing a great curiosity to well up in her.
