The story so far:

Asuna had lukewarm XX poured on her

by the others.

I did turn him down, but I did it naturally.

No fair, no fair, no fair!!

Okay, I get it already.

Even so, it's not that grand of a story.

It all happened when I was still very little.

What am I, a water flea?!

How small did you think I was?!

We're kind of getting off track here.

I grew up in a karate dojo,

so I learned directly from my father at a young age.

My dad was strong enough to take down bears.

So in order to be as strong as him, I practiced as hard as I could.

I went undefeated in every yearly tournament I participated in.

Once I'd finally gained some confidence, I asked my dad:

"Do you think I could win if I fought a bear?"

Aah, Kotone, you're so cute...

But he didn't answer at all. He just smiled back at me.

That frustrated me, so I started practicing even harder than before.

I doubled the length of my runs, and added more to my weightlifting regimen.

I skipped the whole master-pupil thing,

and went around picking fights with livestock.

But obviously, the road to true strength is far from easy.

Without any opponents to fight, I was beginning to doubt myself.

I found myself atop a neighborhood bridge, on the verge of tears.

That's where...

...a woman calling herself a witch appeared.

A witch?

H-Hey, that's what she said, anyway.

That "witch" gave me a book, along with these words:

"If you want to be strong, follow the directions in this book."

With nothing else to cling to, I read the book very carefully.

By the way, what was the book's title?

T-The Legend of Kemui.

Isn't that a ninja manga?

Yeah.

Did you test it out?

I tried...

...the WaterWalking Technique.

Kotone-chan, that's adorable!

I wish I could've seen you at that age.

Heck yeah, moe-loli Kotone~

Oh, forget it already! I've talked long enough; who's next?

That would be Chitose.

Eh?! I don't have any stories like that...
