Osaka gingerly limped up to Chiyo after the sports-fest marathon.

"Did you get a blister from running, Miss Osaka?" asked Chiyo.

"No," Osaka said, "but I've got a few pebbles in my shoe." She sat down, pulled off her shoe, and shook out a pile of gravel large enough to fill a pothole.

Chiyo sweat-dropped.

Osaka frowned. "I think there's a leaf under my shirt collar too." She reached into her T-shirt, and pulled out a thick tree-branch almost as long as Chiyo.

"If you were carrying that much extra weight," Chiyo said, "it's no wonder you ran so slowly."
