In such a mysterious kingdom, knights who had the aura of constellations all around began to appear right before a girl who was stirring a potion in a black pot.
"We've come back, witch. All the missions you command have been fully completed." Said a knight who had the armour of the head like a ram.
"Ahh~ The knights that I have always been proud of have come? Did you guys find a clue...?" Ask the witch who started looking back.
The scorpion knight came forward, "I found a rebel who knew close Shinobu Koneko. It seems like he was from the descendants of Comi as well because of that Crimson magic."
"Well, that's it. It's really interesting... Information you can use later, for now do the command I said before."
The magician began to point the leader of the entire constellation's knights, the knight in lion-shaped armor came forward and knelt right in front of him.
"What do you need from me, witch?"
"Leon. I need you along with your entire army to conquer the southern kingdom..."
"...if you manage to do that then use all the hostages and troops there as the key to grab the attention of the rebels."
"I only need one person who knows Shinobu Koneko then the rewards I get are definitely huge. With that many diamonds then I can create more potions."
"It is with pleasure that I will carry out your orders." Leon got up and looked at the entire knight who raised his right arm in honor of him.
"You heard what the witch said, it is better to conquer more kingdoms and take over treasures in order to speed up the process of her experimentation."
"Well...!!!"
"Zodiac Crusaders...! Disperse!"

"Ako, approach her slowly, like a cat who thinks of anything as its own enemy." Konomi Sweats.
"Hinoka! You'd better be prepared because you're going to have the toughest training compared to the rest..." Koizumi declared it with a threatening aura.
"Glek.. m-scary." Hinoka gulped her own saliva when she saw Koizumi looking so angry at herself.
"Let's go back, Shinobu..." Ako extended her arm slowly to Shinobu so she started nodding and grabbed her hand.
Ako brings Shinobu back closer to them and receives a swipe from Konomi for doing a good job of bringing Shinobu back.
"Huft... Then all warm up first, after that continue with sit-ups, push-ups, and pull-ups a hundred times!"
"When you've finished it then I advise all of you to rest for a minute and then resume training."
"Hehhhhhh...!!! How cruel!" Hinoka Seru.
"Remember our rehearsal with Mama and Grandma, Ako." Konomi started patting Ako's back slowly until she nodded vigorously.
"For Shinobu, you just do sit-ups according to your ability. If you're tired then rest enough." Koizumi gave Shinobu a lightening due to her abnormal body.
"Mh...! Fine..." Shinobu moved her tail left and right and made one lap as her first warm-up.
"Even if I ask you to do all three things a hundred times, do not force yourself, if your fiction has reached the limit then cool down and rest!"
""All right!""
Shinobu began to lie on the ground then held onto her knees to try doing sit-ups but her body was pressured by both her arms which had a huge load.
Ako starts to go on her stomach to do some push-ups while Konomi lies down just to do sit-ups first, Hinoka starts doing push-ups originally because she is not very fond of physical exercise.
"I did it fast...! You guys are how the hell..." Hinoka tried to boast of herself but her forehead received a flick from Koizumi.
"Do it slowly! Your muscles will be injured later!"
"A...!"
"Mmmmffhhhhh..." Shinobu tried to do the sit-ups as hard as possible until her body immediately broke into a sweat.
"Huft..not bad either." Konomi collected the breath and exhaled it after doing a hundred crunches that made her body feel sore.
"Hahaha.it's quite melting..." Said Ako who was still doing push-ups.
Hinoka tried to do the push-ups well and correctly but she could feel the pressure inside her body until both of her arms trembled instantly.
"Aww... my body...why is it so heavy...?!"
"Sonomi, it looks like you're used to doing this." Koizumi looked at Konomi who was warming up quickly and properly.
"More or less, I once had intensive training with my grandmother and mentor." Konomi got up and moved both arms.
"Great too..." Koizumi looks at Shinobu who stopped doing push-ups, maybe she really struggled because of the artificial arms and legs.
"That's great! I myself have never once trained physically at all because my skills are only blast magic!" Hinoka stopped warming up at 20.
"Why did you stop, Hinoka?" Asked Koizumi who was ready to touch his forehead.
"Lah~ Te-he~"
"God... Ako did even better than you, Shinobu too!" Koizumi flicked Hinoka's forehead.
"Aw...! My body is heavy. buuuu..." Hinoka puffed both of her cheeks.
"That can't be used as an excuse! Do two hundred push-ups right now...!" Koizumi orders to the surprise of her cousin.
"Hehhhhh!? Koizumi cruel...!!! So mean...!!!"
"Aahaha..." Shinobu chuckled at Koizumi who continued to give Hinoka such a strenuous workout.
"Koneko, help me.!uu...!"
"T-don't want..." Shinobu smiled innocently.
"Come, no more excuses. I did it for the good of you who are adept at using great magic." Koizumi flicked Hinoka's forehead again.
"Yes...." Hinoka started doing push-ups, this time doing it right because she felt motivated by Shinobu's innocent smile.
Koizumi got the results she wanted, they all did push-ups, sit-ups, and pull-ups correctly without the slightest problem being shown.
"Well, you did it fast without a problem huh, Konomi."
"Ako too. did it slowly but surely."
"At least, for now, Koizumi. Next will be more energy drain." Konomi.
"Well... Huh.. take a break..." Ako sat on the ground while resting her body that felt so sore.
"Why am I not praised. buuuu..."
"Is there really something I should praise from my cousin who can't even do push-ups a hundred times?" Koizumi crossed both arms.
Konomi uses the Soul Synthesis ability to create five bottles of drinking water.
"Bleehhh! Just look...!!! I will break the boundary and break through a thousand...!!!" Hinoka cried while sticking her tongue out at Koizumi until she did a quick push-up.
"Hohhh.. Then prove it to me! If you can prove it then I'll treat you to a meal at Shimatsu's restaurant!"
"Tractier!? All right...!!! I will become stronger...!!!"
Hinoka received a higher spirit and motivation until he did a quick push-up until his body let out sweat dripping into the land.
"If you're thirsty, I've prepared drinking water for the exercise this time." Konomi occupies all five bottles above the ground and they immediately take them except for Hinoka.
"Sister Koizumi. I can finish fifty sit-ups..." Shinobu smiled, feeling grateful that she started to know the training process from Koizumi.
"Well, five minutes of rest is up. Time to resume your next workout so you can improve."
"Don't forget to do it every day huh, when I'm not around.The Legends will always do the exercises in the activities they do but don't forget about the rest."
"I've prepared a special barbell, the weight of one barbell is about fifty kilograms, then a pair of socks..." Koizumi took out all the equipment.
"Can this be called a sock?" Koizumi lifted the iron shoe and dropped it on the ground until it created a vibration.
"Hohhh.. looks heavy..." Shinobu said as she moved her tail so quickly due to her sense of attraction.
"Well, it looks so heavy." Konomi.
"E-Ehh..." Ako was shocked when she saw one barbell successfully create a small hole.
"Let's try... With arms and legs that feel heavy, I want to try it...! Koneko.. will fight!" Shinobu patted both of her cheeks then nodded quickly.
"In case I prepare a special barbell for Shinobu bruk, then for the exercise this time is to train the arms, back muscles, and waist and then balance!"
"Training this time, you will lift one of your legs up, then hold these two barbells in your hands, after that lift these two barbells up your head and then lower it while taking a squat position with one leg."
"Do fifty times."
"W-What...? Sounds difficult..." Ako.
"Koneko.. will fight!" Shinobu lifted one leg up and then held the two barbells, her body immediately sweating because of all the weight she endured using her body alone.
"Shinobu, don't push yourself too much." Koizumi looked at Shinobu who instantly did so.
"Sounds very challenging..." Konomi began to do as requested by Koizumi.
"As for lifting weights. I'm used to it. I want to keep training it so I can have new, heavier arms and legs..."
"One more barbell..." Shinobu moves her tail and she directs it to Koizumi to ask for the barbell.
"Shinobu, are you sure you can hold it?" Ask Konomi.
"Mmm...! Koneko will not give up!"
"Hahhh, well, if you feel inadequate then don't force yourself yes, I don't want to see you hurt again."
"Come on. You can do it..." Reveal Ako who began to lift the two barbells along with his feet in order to train balance as well.
Hinoka began to approach all of them who were lifting the weight while balancing their bodies.
"Hei~ it looks very pleasant, I also want to do it~" Hinoka said while doing the pose.
"Hinoka... What the fuck is that pose? Do you want to practice ballet?" Koizumi asked with a flat look.
"Te-he~ Leaving is justice~" Hinoka changed the pose and raised both fingers to make a peaceful pose.
"That's a shame, Hinoka. Shinobu is so much more cute that nothing can defeat her timidity and innocence..."
"...make practice right now or do you accept the sentilan god's punishment?" Koizumi prepared to flick her forehead again.
"Yahuuuuu...."
"Are you used to doing all these exercises, Koizumi?" Ask Konomi.
"Yes, I often do it while enjoying other activities even since childhood My father has taught me many things about training and how to fight legends."
"I can do push-ups without my hands..."
Ako lowered all that weight with a breath of gasping fatigue, "Huh... Huh.. I'm tired..."
Shinobu dropped all the load accidentally until it caused another vibration, "Uwah... M-Sorry...!"
"Calm down, Shinobu, this vibration is nothing compared to the fall of the barbell in the house..." Koizumi stroked Shinobu's head.
"Koizumi, where's the barbell I have to lift?! I'm fully prepared to lift any barbell!" Hinoka Seru.
"Before that. rest and cool down so that your muscles are not injured, my goodness, even though we are a legendary race that is crazy for strength, but rest is also important to take care of our bodies."
"I don't think Legends have any limits..."
"There is none, but it is just a general designation for our own nation. All mortals have certain limits for us to break in order to reach a much greater power."
"By the way, are you guys planning to use a weapon?" Ask Koizumi.
"I don't need a weapon because the territory around me can already be called an explosion-producing weapon...!" Hinoka Seru.
"You can turn new into grenades huh..." Koizumi put on a flat gaze as she often saw Shinobu turn any object into a weapon related to the explosion.
"I'd like to try every different weapon to make a profit at a certain time..." Shinobu said so that both of her arms took out various kinds of firearms.
"Yup, as expected of my little cousin and Queen Touriverse's daughter." Koizumi nodded.
"Maybe you would be fit to be a rebel who instantly annihilates your own enemy..."
"Koneko can't fight..." Shinobu lowered her ears and tail because she was disappointed and scared.
"A lot of things I need to protect... Koneko felt afraid to hurt someone." Shinobu disappeared all those rifles then she lowered her own head.
"Koneko, if they're evil and hurt someone you think is worth protecting then just hit it." Hinoka's advice while giving her thumbs up.
"Shinobu, we are a nation of Legends, all races have their own shortcomings, you do have flaws in the physical field but not for your intelligent brain which holds a lot of science."
Shinobu felt motivated, her face flushed red and she directly touched her own finger, "C-Smart..."
"Well, let's just try the next method..."
"...defense training by doing sparring exercises!"
