00:00My name's Kota Watanabe, a total wallflower college student with no outstanding qualities.
00:07To change my lackluster self, I decided to join a fitness gym today.
00:12Gonna work out super hard and become the ultimate cool dude!
00:16Or so I thought.
00:18I'll boost my confidence and transform my life into something dazzling!
00:22I'm gonna do it, I swear!
00:24Hey there!
00:25Eek! Actually, I'm heading home!
00:31Hold it right there!
00:32You got a new face, huh?
00:34Are you here to join?
00:36Huh? Uh, yeah.
00:38Looking good, looking good!
00:41You've got a body worth training, huh?
00:43You've got potential!
00:45Come on in, come on in!
00:46If you've got any questions, feel free to ask us muscle gentlemen anything!
00:51Phew, that's a relief.
00:53They seem like nice guys.
00:55And by the way, what's a muscle gentleman?
00:58Oh, you're lucky, new guy!
01:01Today, Erika's here!
01:03Erika?
01:04Look at her!
01:06Oh, wow!
01:08Isn't she gorgeous?
01:10That girl over there is the pretty angel of this gym, Erika!
01:14She's the Miss Campus of Koiwa Women's University
01:18and an influencer with over 50,000 followers on social media!
01:23Some people even join this gym just to see Erika!
01:26That's how popular she is!
01:28I can't believe there's such a beautiful girl here!
01:32I'm glad I joined this gym!
01:35Hey there, muscle gentleman!
01:37Hey, Erika!
01:39You're looking cute as always!
01:41Thanks!
01:43You over there!
01:44I don't know you, do I?
01:47Huh? Uh, yeah.
01:49Today's my first day here.
01:51I'm Kota Watanabe!
01:53Oh, really?
01:55Oh, she's talking to me!
01:58I bet you're here because of me too, right?
02:01Huh?
02:02There are a lot of people like that!
02:05Well, I'm just too cute, what can I say?
02:08Huh? Wait, is she seriously full of herself?
02:11Erika!
02:14See? You're here for me, just like those people!
02:18No need to hide it, it doesn't bother me at all!
02:21You're wrong!
02:22Huh?
02:24My focus isn't on you, it's on my training!
02:26See ya!
02:28What? Wait!
02:30Even if she's pretty, that super self-centered personality isn't my thing.
02:35I'll try not to get involved.
02:38What's with that guy?
02:39I was being nice and trying to talk to him!
02:42Ugh! How dare you!
02:45And a few days later...
02:47Hey! How's it going?
02:49Huh? Oh, hey there!
02:51You getting used to the gym? No problems?
02:54Not really.
02:55That's cool! How about some stretching together?
02:58Nah, I'm good. I got it covered on my own.
03:03A few days later...
03:04How about I show you some killer workout routines?
03:08I may not look it, but I'm a workout veteran!
03:10I'm good! I'll ask the trainer for advice.
03:13You don't have to be so polite, jeez!
03:15Nah, it's not about politeness, but I trust the advice of the pro trainers more.
03:21Ugh!
03:22Yo, Coda! Sorry for the wait!
03:24Hey, Ron! Thanks for guiding me again today!
03:28You're all fired up, Coda, so I'm pumped too!
03:31Ready to rock it?
03:32Yeah!
03:33Ugh! Why is Ren all buddy-buddy with him?
03:36Fine, then!
03:38Man, I had a good sweat today!
03:40Working out might be fun!
03:42Hey, hold on!
03:44Yeah?
03:45Uh-oh!
03:47What's with that uh-oh? So rude!
03:49Sorry, it just slipped out.
03:51That's not much of an excuse.
03:54Sorry, so what do you want?
03:56I'll take you on a date!
03:58What?
03:59I said I'll take you on a date!
04:02I'll pass.
04:03What?
04:05Wait, wait! Why are you turning me down so easily?
04:08I'm inviting you on a date! Normal guys would be crying with joy!
04:13You've got some insane confidence, you know that?
04:16Newsflash, not every guy in the world is into you!
04:19Huh? Really?
04:21Of course not!
04:23But I'm so cute!
04:25That's some next-level positive thinking.
04:28Anyway, I'm not interested in a date.
04:30Wait, you sure? This might be your only chance!
04:34You're being persistent, huh? I'll make it clear then.
04:37I'm not interested in you.
04:39What?
04:42Whatever! I won't ever talk to you again!
04:45That works for me.
04:48Finally free!
04:49Huh? Is that Erika?
04:52Whoa, for real, it's her!
04:55Who are you guys?
04:57We're huge fans of you!
04:59Really?
05:00Phew, you're even cuter in person!
05:03Um, thank you! Well then.
05:07Hey, hold on a sec!
05:09Where are you heading? Wanna hang out with us?
05:12No, I'm good.
05:14Ugh, they're really out there, but not my problem.
05:18Don't be so cold, come on!
05:21Let's have some fun together, huh?
05:23I said I don't want to!
05:25Ugh, screw it!
05:28Um, excuse me?
05:30Huh? Who the heck are you?
05:32She's refusing, so stop it.
05:35Shut it, get lost, kid!
05:37Mind your own business!
05:39This is getting scary. There's only one way to handle this.
05:43No, hey, look! It's a freaking monster snake!
05:47What?
05:49Where? Where's the monster snake?
05:51Capture it and we'll be billionaires!
05:54Erika, now's our chance!
05:56Yeah!
05:58You lied to us!
05:59You're gonna pay for this!
06:02A few minutes later.
06:06Did we lose him?
06:08Yeah, looks like it.
06:11Are you okay?
06:13Yeah, um, your hand.
06:16Huh?
06:17Oops, sorry!
06:19Even though I had no choice but to grab it.
06:22No, it's fine.
06:23I probably couldn't have escaped alone.
06:26Thanks for helping me.
06:28Oh, uh, yeah, you're welcome.
06:31Anyway, why did you help me?
06:34You don't like me, do you?
06:36Well, that's true, but I couldn't just leave you.
06:40You're kind.
06:41Huh?
06:42Oh, it's nothing.
06:44Huh?
06:46Since then, for some reason, I've been getting sharp glares from Erika.
06:51Why is she giving me the stink eye?
06:53Did I do something?
06:54And on top of that...
06:57Hey, how about a date with me?
06:59You're gonna have to pass.
07:01Wait a sec!
07:02Even after I turned her down once, she kept inviting me on a date.
07:07Please? Please go on a date with me?
07:10Ugh, here we go again.
07:12No matter how many times I rejected her, she just wouldn't give up.
07:16So I started ignoring her.
07:19One day...
07:20Hey, please, just once!
07:23She's so persistent.
07:24Are you listening?
07:26Hey, I'm talking to you!
07:29Ugh, you know what, that's it!
07:32Hey, what are you-
07:34You're ignoring me, that's why!
07:36Well, because you keep asking even after I turned you down.
07:40But that's because I really want to go on a date with you!
07:44What? Are you saying that-
07:46Why don't you get it?
07:48I've been putting in so much effort here.
07:50Well, because in the beginning, you were all high and mighty.
07:54Well, maybe I was, but now things are different.
07:56I'm serious.
07:58Huh?
07:59So, what you're saying is-
08:01Uh-oh!
08:03What's going on with you two?
08:06Huh?
08:08Oh, um, I almost fell, so...
08:12It's nothing.
08:14Yeah, yeah, Erika's just a bit clumsy, that's all.
08:17Oh, I can feel it!
08:21What?
08:22The vibes of a rom-com!
08:24What the heck is that?
08:26Coda, today we're gonna change the workout menu.
08:29You're gonna do our pair training with Erika!
08:33What? Why the sudden change?
08:35Come on, come on, it's gonna be great!
08:38But I'll be bothering Erika!
08:42I don't mind at all.
08:43What?
08:45All right then, let's do it!
08:48Uh, okay.
08:50Man, what is going on?
08:52One, two, three, four.
08:56You're doing great, keep it up!
08:58Uh, are you sure this isn't too heavy?
09:01Nah, nah, I'm totally fine with it!
09:04Even though I'm acting tough, this is tough in every way.
09:10This is pretty hard.
09:12Let's go, Erika!
09:14Yeah, thanks!
09:18Could you stop making that kind of noise?
09:22One hour later.
09:24All right, I think that's enough for today.
09:27Okay.
09:28I'm tired in many ways.
09:32Hey!
09:33Yeah?
09:34Do you have any plans after this?
09:37Not really.
09:38Then wanna go eat somewhere?
09:40Huh?
09:41But, um...
09:44By the way, they just opened a delicious restaurant nearby!
09:48Haven't been there yet, so how about the two of you go and tell me what you think?
09:52Huh?
09:54Sure thing!
09:55Leave it to us!
09:56Thanks!
09:57All right, have fun you two!
10:00Wait, don't I have any say in this?
10:04So, we went for a meal together.
10:07This is so good!
10:09Y-yeah.
10:13Ugh, so awkward.
10:16Don't know what to talk about!
10:18That's why I didn't want this!
10:20I'm just a nerd who never had a girl before, you know?
10:24Was I really a bother?
10:27Huh?
10:27Oh, no, it's not like that!
10:30Erika seems kinda unsure of herself, too.
10:33It's not like her to not say something like,
10:36you should be more excited to eat with me!
10:38Hey, Coda, why did you start going to the gym?
10:42Huh?
10:43Oh, well, I never really had any special talents,
10:47so I never had any confidence in myself.
10:50So I thought, if I get into shape, maybe I'll gain some confidence.
10:54But so far, I don't feel any more confident.
10:58You will!
10:59Huh?
11:01Hard work never betrays you!
11:03I know that better than anyone!
11:05What do you mean?
11:07Check this out.
11:09Who's that?
11:10Me, in high school.
11:12What?
11:14You're joking, right?
11:16Surprised, huh?
11:17I used to be chubby and plain,
11:20a total nobody that no one would give a second glance.
11:24I started going to the gym to change myself.
11:27Besides working out, I put in a lot of effort into beauty and fashion
11:30to become more attractive.
11:32Gradually, people started complimenting me,
11:35calling me cute and pretty,
11:37and that's how I gained confidence.
11:40But...
11:41I guess all those compliments got to my head,
11:44and I ended up being arrogant.
11:46My attitude became too big,
11:48and I must have made people uncomfortable.
11:51I'm sorry.
11:52I'm sure I've made others uncomfortable too,
11:54so I decided to change.
11:56Uh, yeah, it's all good if you understand,
12:00but I get it.
12:01When you change so much,
12:02it's hard not to get carried away.
12:05Ever since I transformed like this,
12:07I approached you because I was upset at being ignored.
12:11But that's not the case anymore.
12:13I see.
12:14I never thought you were that serious, so...
12:17No worries.
12:18It's mostly my fault.
12:20Huh?
12:21When we actually talk,
12:22she's not that bad of a person.
12:25So, um...
12:27I'd like to get to know you better.
12:30Would you be my friend?
12:32Uh...
12:33Wait, why does she look kind of cute?
12:36Um...
12:37Is that a no?
12:39No, I'd be happy to.
12:42Since then, me and Erika have become friends.
12:45Coda!
12:46You've been working so hard lately.
12:48Yeah.
12:49Lately, I've been really into working out.
12:53I've been lifting dumbbells and barbells a lot.
12:55My hands turned out like this.
12:58Oh no, it's all blistered.
12:59Let me see.
13:00Huh?
13:02Gee, it's going this far.
13:04But when you saved me on the street,
13:06I knew you were a reckless person.
13:08Oh, y-yeah?
13:10Yeah.
13:11That's why I kind of like that about you.
13:15What?
13:16Oh.
13:18Forget about what I just said now.
13:20Alright.
13:21Sorry, Erika.
13:22There's no way I'll forget that.
13:25A few days later.
13:27Here, you can have this.
13:30Huh?
13:30Training gloves?
13:32Your hands were all blistered,
13:33so I thought you might need them.
13:35You sure?
13:37It's a thank you for helping me the other day.
13:39Thanks a lot!
13:40I'll take good care of them.
13:43I was definitely getting drawn to the kinder Erika.
13:46But of course, I'm aware of her feelings too.
13:49But right now, I'm not good enough for Erika.
13:52So I'll...
13:53answer with muscles!
13:54And a few months later.
13:56Alright, today's the day!
13:58Huh?
13:59Hey there, Erika!
14:02Y-you guys!
14:04We thought we saw you around here before.
14:07So, how about we train together?
14:10We'll guide you step by step!
14:12No thanks!
14:14Oh, come on!
14:16W-wait a minute, those guys!
14:18That's enough!
14:20Koda!
14:21You're that guy from before.
14:23You're that guy from before!
14:25Yeah!
14:26You coward who runs away instead of standing your ground!
14:30Or maybe...
14:31you wanna take us on?
14:33Don't think of me as the same person from back then.
14:37Huh?
14:38Ow!
14:39W-what is this strain?
14:41Don't underestimate the training I've put in.
14:43If you dare mess with my precious person again,
14:46I won't hold back!
14:49Screw it!
14:50We'll take you on together!
14:53Hey, hey!
14:54Seems like you're full of energy, huh?
14:57Are you up to join our super-jacked maximum workout?
15:02Eek!
15:04We're sorry!
15:06Thanks, muscle gents!
15:07Appreciate it!
15:10It's nothing, really!
15:12Koda!
15:14Whoa!
15:15I was so scared!
15:17It's all good now!
15:19Don't worry!
15:20And if those guys ever show up again,
15:23I'll definitely protect you, Erika!
15:25That's why I got strong!
15:27Koda!
15:28Erika, I like you!
15:30Will you be my girlfriend?
15:32Yes!
15:33I'd love to!
15:36Aww!
15:37Young love!
15:39So sweet!
15:40Muscles rock, baby!
15:43And so, we officially started going out!
15:47After that, we were both putting our hearts into it.
15:50But...
15:52Ahh!
15:53Another good sweat today!
15:55Yeah, I guess!
15:57Hey, Erika!
15:58What's up?
15:59You seem down.
16:01Working out's nice, but...
16:04Sometimes I want to go out with you.
16:06Just the two of us, you know?
16:09Let's do it!
16:11Looks like we'll have more than just working out
16:13to look forward to from now on!
16:17Hi!
16:18It's me!
16:19Mel!
16:20Thanks for watching my channel!
16:23I'm super happy if you watch the next
16:26and other videos, too!
