Embracing the Thrill - The Undeniable Role of Bungee Cords in Zipline Adventures
Tumblr media
Ziplining, with its heart-pounding descents and panoramic views, has become a quintessential adventure for those seeking an adrenaline rush. Amidst the excitement and scenic beauty, there's a vital component that often goes unnoticed – the humble yet indispensable bungee cord. In this exploration of the skies, let's unravel the crucial role played by these elastic wonders in ensuring a safe and thrilling zipline adventure.
Dynamic Tethering
At the core of every zipline adventure lies the dynamic connection between the adventurer and the zipline itself. Bungee cords act as the tether, ensuring a secure link that adapts to the changing dynamics of the ride. This dynamic nature allows for a smooth and controlled descent, adding an extra layer of safety to the exhilarating journey.
Shock Absorption
The thrill of ziplining often involves rapid accelerations and sudden stops. Bungee cords serve as shock absorbers, absorbing the impact and preventing abrupt jolts that could compromise the safety and enjoyment of the experience. This feature is particularly crucial in ensuring a comfortable and controlled descent for participants.
Freedom of Movement
Unlike rigid connections, bungee cords provide a degree of flexibility that allows participants to enjoy a sense of freedom during their zipline adventure. The cords stretch and contract, accommodating the natural movements of the rider. This not only enhances the thrill but also contributes to a more immersive and enjoyable experience.
Safety Redefined
Safety is paramount in any adventure activity, and ziplining is no exception. Bungee cords are engineered with durability and strength in mind, offering a reliable connection that adventurers can trust. The combination of elasticity and robust construction ensures a secure and safe ziplining experience for thrill-seekers of all levels.
Innovation and Advancements
As technology advances, so does the world of ziplining. Innovations in bungee cord design continue to enhance the ziplining experience. Modern materials and engineering techniques contribute to lighter yet stronger cords, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in aerial adventures.
In the world of zipline adventures, where the thrill of the ride meets the beauty of the surroundings, bungee cords emerge as unsung heroes. Their dynamic and adaptable nature ensures that every descent is not just an adventure but a secure and enjoyable escapade. As you gear up for your next zipline experience, take a moment to appreciate the role of these elastic marvels, working tirelessly to make your journey through the air an unforgettable and safe adventure. So, with bungee cords as your trusted companions, get ready to embrace the thrill and let the skies be your playground.

May — Unforseen Grandioso
Tumblr media
Shining Saotome: Ha ha haa~! Pleeease come to ME if you want to help herrr!
Shining Saotome: To be an idol, at any place, at any time, you MUST be strong.
Suddenly, it begins.
Once Golden Week ends, I return to school with a feeling of excitement, but I get involved in something troublesome right away.
During Golden Week, Shinomiya-san and I continued our practice together; however, it's been a long time since I’ve seen everyone from class, and I’m really looking forward to seeing them again.
Tomo-chan, who shares a room with me, went to her parents’ house over the break. I didn’t have the chance to meet up with Ittoki-kun or Hijirikawa-sama during the holiday.
The time I’ve spent with Shinomiya-san has been lovely, but…
It’s also very important for me to spend time with everyone… that’s why I’m really looking forward to it…
Just as I enter the classroom and greet Shinomiya-san, who had arrived earlier, the window pane shatters.
The principal jumps into the classroom. Without any time for me to be surprised at his sudden appearance, he grabs me and pulls me into the hallway.
Natsuki Shinomiya: Ah! Nanami-san!
Shining Saotome: Ha ha haa~~!
Haruka Nanami: Ah… um… Principal… What on earth…
The principal brings me to the roof.
Shining Saotome: Ha ha ha. This is one of Saotome Academy’s traditional events, “Idol Strength Training from Hell”!
Ringo Tsukimiya: Ah, there you are, Shiny! Jeez, when you’re starting you gotta tell me that you are!
Shining Saotome: Ha ha haaa. Sorry, sorry, me so sowwy.
Haruka Nanami: Uh... um. What exactly is “Idol Strength Training from Hell…”?
Ringo Tsukimiya: Oh? Shiny didn’t tell you?
Haruka Nanami: No… nothing yet…
Ringo Tsukimiya: I guess it can’t be helped. Well, let me explain.
Ringo Tsukimiya: So. To become an idol, of course you need an attractive appearance, singing ability, acting ability, and stage presence. A certain amount of luck is also necessary.
Ringo Tsukimiya: No matter what kind of harsh situations you may fall into and struggle through, you will need some ability to adapt and adjust, as well as physical strength and spirit.
Ringo Tsukimiya: That’s why Shiny will sometimes give the students tests like this.
Ringo Tsukimiya: The purpose of this training is to toughen you up while you are young so you can survive even when you are engulfed in the storm of the entertainment world.

Tumblr media
なるほど… I see…. (+0 Love +10 Music)
Haruka Nanami: As expected of a famous school, to have such practical lessons.
Ringo Tsukimiya: Exactly. Back in my day, our test was to fight with a bear in some foothills. At that time, Ryuya took on and easily defeated a three-meter tall bear that was the king of the foothills.
Ringo Tsukimiya: The bear was stuffed and hangs even now as a decoration inside the gymnasium. Hehe. Good times.
Ringo Tsukimiya: Well, with that said, since it’s difficult to do that with every student, Shiny randomly chooses somebody every year.
Ringo Tsukimiya: And this year, you and Nacchan were chosen. This is a good chance for you, so just go along with it and try your best.
Ringo Tsukimiya: So what are you doing this year, Shiny? Last year, it was a bungee without cords, right?
B-bungee, without cords… ?
Shining Saotome: This year’s competition is a game of taaag! BUT this is no ordinary game of tag. It’s jam-packed with traps!
Ringo Tsukimiya: I see. It’s been a while since we’ve done something like that. Hehe. It’s gonna be a good one.
Haruka Nanami: Something like that?
What in the world kind of game of tag IS this… ?
Natsuki Shinomiya: Nanami-san. You’re OK, that’s good to see.
Shining Saotome: Ha ha haa~~. Looks like the actors are all here.
Natsuki Shinomiya: What…?
Ringo Tsukimiya: I explained this to her earlier, but this is the “Idol Strength Training from Hell”.
Ringo Tsukimiya: After this, Shiny is going to take your partner and run away from you, so Nacchan, you will have to chase him to get her back.
Ringo Tsukimiya: Well… it’s like a game of tag. However, there are traps set all over, so please be careful.
Ringo Tsukimiya: Let’s get started. “Idol Strength Training from Hell” starts now!
The moment I hear the sound of a whistle, the principal grabs me and jumps off the roof.
Shining Saotome: Whoo!
Haruka Nanami: AAAAAA!
Thud.
When the principal jumps to the ground, the ground sinks and continues to shake.
I’m s-surprised.
Even though he jumped from such a high place, the principal has a calm expression on his face.
He starts running immediately.
Haruka Nanami: U-um… where are we going now…?
Shining Saotome: Ha ha haa~~. Let’s go and tease Mr. Shinomiya.
Shining Saotome: Ha ha haaa. This way, “It”, towards the clapping hands!
The principal runs from the grounds to the classrooms, from the classrooms to the hallways, and all around the school to mess around with Shinomiya-san.
His movements are so incredible that he doesn’t seem to be human.
But Shinomiya-san is making moves that are keeping up with the principal.
Natsuki Shinomiya: Nanami-san. Please wait for me. Before long, I’ll reach you…
Haruka Nanami: Ah… Shinomiya-san.
When Shinomiya-san steps forward, the pinwheel fireworks under his feet ignite.
Although one might say it's just a regular firework, this pinwheel firework is different from the ordinary ones. It's shaped like a mouse stuffed animal.
Haruka Nanami: Shinomiya-san, run! Please hurry and get out of here!
Shining Saotome: Ha ha haaa~~. Even if you run away, it's useless. Once the “Mouse Pinwheel Firework Squeak EX” sets you as its target, it will chase you anywhere.
I-incredible. There’s a small pinwheel firework that can have such advanced technology.
Natsuki Shinomiya: C… cute!
What…?
Shinomiya-san scoops up the small mouse pinwheel firework at his feet with both hands.
In that moment…
Squeak squeak~
The pinwheel firework squeaks once and pops.
Fireworks are scattered about and the smell of gunpowder fills the air.
Natsuki Shinomiya: Ah! Mouse-chan…!
Haruka Nanami: Shinomiya-san. You need immediate medical assistance…. You got burned…
Shining Saotome: Ha ha haaa. Don’t wooorry.
As he says that, the principal pushes a switch hidden in the wall of the hallway.
SPLASH!
Part of the ceiling suddenly opens up and water flows out like a waterfall. A large amount of water pours down on Shinomiya-san.
Shining Saotome: When you get burned, it’s best to cool it with running water.

風邪を引いてしまいます  You’re going to catch a cold. (+30 Love, +0 Music)
Natsuki Shinomiya: I’m completely fine with it. If you’re safe, then that’s fine with me.
Haruka Nanami: But…
Natsuki Shinomiya: Please wait, Nanami-san. No matter what hardships we face, I will always rescue you.
Haruka Nanami: Shinomiya-san…
Soon after, the principal brings me to the pool.
And then, with a giant leap, he jumps over the twenty five-meter pool in one go and lands on the diving board on the other side.
Natsuki Shinomiya: Are you okay?!
Right away, Shinomiya-san comes to the pool.
I don’t know if even an Olympic athlete would be able to keep up with the speed of the principal.
Shinomiya-san is also a really amazing person…
Shining Saotome: Ha ha haa~~. The second obstacle is the electrifying pool challenge!
There are some small pillars in several places in the pool, and if he can successfully jump on them, he can get to this side. But…
The pool water looks normal, but occasionally, a black shadow moves under the water.
Shining Saotome: By the way, this pool is full of electric catfish.
Shining Saotome: If you happen to fall in you will be electrocccuuuteddd. Even an elephant would be knocked out with a single blow!
The electric attack would knock out an elephant with a single blow!? What a terrifying trap…
Shining Saotome: AND the poolside has a high voltage currrennnt! Coming here from the poolside is im-po-ssi-ble!
Haruka Nanami: Shinomiya-san. Please… don’t push yourself too far. I’ll be fine…
Shining Saotome: Also, If Mr. Shinomiya refuses, this girl will take the challenge instead.
Haruka Nanami: OK, I’ll do it…
Natsuki Shinomiya: Please, let me do it instead…
Haruka Nanami: But…
Natsuki Shinomiya: Don't say such a sad thing. Just thinking about you being in danger makes my heart break.
Natsuki Shinomiya: Please. Please, let me protect you.
Haruka Nanami: Shinomiya-san…
Natsuki Shinomiya: Here I go…
Shinomiya-san steps into the pool.
He's trying to act bravely to reassure me, but his legs are trembling slightly.
Haruka Nanami: Shinomiya-san, please be safe…
Shinomiya-san begins walking on the pillars step by step.
Natsuki Shinomiya: Just a little more…
Five meters away from the side of the pool, an electric catfish jumps up at Shinomiya-san’s feet.
The catfish’s tailfin smacks against Shinomiya-san’s leg and he suddenly loses his balance for a moment.
BZZZZT!
Haruka Nanami: Aah!
Natsuki Shinomiya: Ow…
One of his legs is submerged in the water and Shinomiya-san’s face twists with pain from the electric shock of the catfish.
Haruka Nanami: Shinomiya-san!
Natsuki Shinomiya: … I’m all right. It was just a little shock… Nanami-san, don’t look at me like that.
Shining Saotome: Ha ha haaa. There’s one million volts of electric current.
Haruka Nanami: O-one million…
Shining Saotome: You’ve got a lot of willpower to be able to stand after that.

わたしが代わります I will take your place. (+20 Love, +0 Music)
Natsuki Shinomiya: Please don’t. I’ll be just fine…
Haruka Nanami: But… in your condition… if you fall into the pool…
Natsuki Shinomiya: I’m okay. I’m not scared… It won’t be painful…
Natsuki Shinomiya: What really hurts me is… I’ve made you worry about me.
Haruka Nanami: ... What?
Natsuki Shinomiya: If only I was stronger… I wouldn't make you worry about this so much.
Natsuki Shinomiya: I can surely overcome any pain and hardship if it means sharing a dream with you…
Natsuki Shinomiya: Besides, I want you to smile all the time…
Haruka Nanami: Shinomiya-san…
Shining Saotome: Heeey! You have some nerve, making a lovey-dovey speech in front of ME. Now you’ll get The Big Wave.
As soon as the principal says that, the pool suddenly surges and, in the blink of an eye, a high wave forms, swallowing Shinomiya-san up.
Natsuki Shinomiya: Ggh. Ugh, aaa…
The towering wave surpasses Shinomiya-san’s great height and pulls his body under the water.
Haruka Nanami: Shinomiya-san. Shinomiya-saaaaaaan!
Shining Saotome: Ha ha haaa. Let’s head towards the third stage. This way, “It”.
After this, the principal brings me to the school grounds.
And somehow, I’m on the ground, tied to the trunk of a cherry tree with a rope.
Shining Saotome: This is where it ends!!
After a short time, Shinomiya-san finally arrives.
Haruka Nanami: Shinomiya-san!!
His footsteps are staggered, probably from suffering a lot of electric shocks; his breathing is rough, and he looks like he might collapse at any moment.
Still, Shinomiya-san slowly makes his way over to us.
Natsuki Shinomiya: A… ahaha… I’m exhausted. I’m not very good at this kind of thing.
Natsuki Shinomiya: But, you… I will save you for sure. Even if I have to give my life for it.
Shining Saotome: Ha ha haaa! It's the hero Shinomiya who has arrived! Still. Your life ends here!
Shining Saotome: Come forth! Shining Agency’s top fighter, Ryuya Hyugaaaa!!
The principal says this in a loud voice… but…
...
There is no sign of anyone coming out of the school building.
Shining Saotome: Come forth! The S Class teacher, Ryuya Hyuga!!
...
Shining Saotome: Ryuya-saaaaaan. Where are you, Ryuya-saaaaaan?
Then, at last, the S Class teacher, Hyuga-sensei, appears from the entrance.
Ryuya Hyuga: Ah… yeah, yeah. Wait a sec. Damn, don’t start ahead of schedule. What extras am I beating up now…
Ryuya Hyuga: I’m the S Class teacher, Ryuya Hyuga. Nice to meet ya. Well, sorry, we just met, but I’m gonna defeat you with my fist.
Ryuya Hyuga: See, I don’t have a grudge against you, but it’s the president’s orders, so no hard feelings.
Natsuki Shinomiya: … Understood.
Shining Saotome: That being said, please do your best to defeat the middle boss. The LAST boss is ME, of course.
Ryuya Hyuga: Summoning me in the middle of a class AND treating me as the middle boss…
Then, Tsukimiya-sensei arrives.
Ringo Tsukimiya: Geez. Shiny, I told you to call me before the middle boss fight.
Shining Saotome: Ha ha haaa. Don’t WORRY. Our battle is just beginning.
Ringo Tsukimiya: This looks like something out of the end of a discontinued manga. Well, it’s okay. If you say it's just beginning, then I’ll take a closer look.
Ryuya Hyuga: I don't like what I have to do very much… but... it can’t be helped. Here we go! Hyahh! Hyaah!
Natsuki Shinomiya: …HUP!
Shinomiya-san dodges Hyuga-sensei’s punch at the last second.
Ryuya Hyuga: Ooh… You’re quite good at this. It’s been a long time since I’ve been this excited.
Hyuga-sensei takes a small step forward, bends his knees for an instant, and puts the whole force of his body behind a powerful punch.
However…
This, too, is dodged by Shinomiya-san just before the punch makes contact. Hyuga-sensei’s fist merely grazes his cheek.
Shinomiya-san narrows his eyes at Hyuga-sensei and stares straight at him with a sharp look.
Ringo Tsukimiya: O-ho-ho, isn't it amazing that Nacchan is keeping up with Ryuya?
Haruka Nanami: Um… Is Hyuga-sensei really so great?
Ringo Tsukimiya: Yes, before becoming an idol he was head of a delinquent group in his hometown. The “Demon Ryuya” is what they used to call him. Good times~.
Ringo Tsukimiya: When he came to Saotome Academy, students from other schools would come to pick fights and his underlings would greet them.
Haruka Nanami: Is that so... Eh? How do you know about that?
Ringo Tsukimiya: Oh, you didn’t know? Ryuya and I used to be classmates at this Academy.
I-I didn’t know…
Ringo Tsukimiya: But more importantly, let’s keep an eye on the fight right now.
Haruka Nanami: Sure.
Shinomiya-san follows Hyuga-sensei’s movements with his eyes.
He keeps dodging Hyuga-sensei's attacks with minimal movement and never attacks first.
Natsuki Shinomiya: Haaha... oh Sensei~. You’re going easy on me, aren’t you? I have just enough speed to barely avoid your attacks.
Ryuya Hyuga: … You’ve noticed, huh. Well, I can’t punch one of my students like a real opponent.
Ryuya Hyuga: However… you’re pretty good at this. I almost got serious for a moment there.
Shining Saotome: Tch. This is not amusing at alll. I’m coming ouuut nowww!
Ryuya Hyuga: I had a feeling I could go toe-to-toe with this guy, but… Ah well, I guess if the president says so, I'll withdraw.
Hyuga-sensei gently places his hand on Shinomiya-san’s shoulder, leans close to his ear, and whispers:
Ryuya Hyuga: Shinomiya… don’t die.
After his murmur, he gently lifts his hand off Shinomiya-san’s shoulder and disappears back into the school building.
Haruka Nanami: U-um… Can’t we stop this here?
Haruka Nanami: If you fight any further, Shinomiya-san will die.
Ringo Tsukimiya: It seems that way… You’re his partner, so if you fight Shiny he might withdraw from the battle, but…
Ringo Tsukimiya: What do you want to do, Nacchan? Do you want to ‘pass the baton’ and hand this over to her?
Natsuki Shinomiya: I wouldn’t… I will fight.
Haruka Nanami: But why… ? You are so exhausted… and you have a lot of injuries…
Haruka Nanami: I can't watch this anymore. I really want you to leave this instant. Please don’t fight anymore.
Natsuki Shinomiya: I can’t do that. I can’t afford to run away… when you’re being held hostage.
Haruka Nanami: Whatever happens to me, I’ll be fine.
Natsuki Shinomiya: Because I’m weak, perhaps I may not be your knight. Please, let me pretend to be strong for you.
Shining Saotome: WHOOAAA! STOP THE ROMANNNTICCC TALKKK!
The principal does an agile kick and smashes the rock between Shinomiya-san and I.
Debris from the rock scatters about, raining down on Shinomiya-san.
At that moment, Shinomiya-san ducks and blocks the onslaught of debris.
Shining Saotome: Here is where our playtime ends. Defeat ME if you want to save herrr!
Haruka Nanami: Shinomiya-san, it's useless. If you fight against the principal, you’ll die!
I shout at him in desperation, but… Shinomiya-san suddenly stands up and smiles, turning to face the principal.
The moment their fists collide, the air shakes.
Earlier, Hyuga-sensei’s punch was also amazing… but the principal’s is on a whole other level.
Wow…
The principal is incredible, too. But… what on earth kind of person are you, Shinomiya-san, who is evenly matched with the principal?
Shining Saotome: HYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
The principal’s fist grazes Shinomiya-san’s face.
Clatter.
Shinomiya-san’s glasses fall to the ground.
At that moment, the ground begins to shake.
Male Student: Whoa. W-what the—!?
Female Student: A-an earthquake!?
Male Student: No! It’s Shinomiya. He’s making the ground shake!
Female Student: We have to get out of here… If we get caught up in something like that, we’ll die…
RUMBLE!! Natsuki Shinomiya: AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!
A tremendous amount of energy radiates from Shinomiya-san’s body.
Dark clouds begin to enshroud the sky and the sharp crack of thunder roars overhead.
Haruka Nanami: Shinomiya-sa…
I hesitate for a moment as I try to speak. His eyes… Shinomiya-san’s eyes are different than usual.
Shining Saotome: OH! It seems that this has become a little bit difficult.
Without saying anything, Shinomiya-san drives his fist into the statue of the principal at the front of the school. As soon as he comes into contact with it, the bronze statue shatters.
Natsuki Shinomiya: Hahh…
Haruka Nanami: Sh-Shinomiya-san!
Shining Saotome: It’s useless to call out to him. He’s completely lost it.
Haruka Nanami: Well, what should I do… ?
Shining Saotome: I will stop this. I am this school’s principal, after all. I have a duty to protect this school.
The principal catches Shinomiya-san’s punch.
While the principal tries to subdue Shinomiya-san, Tsukimiya-sensei calls out to the students to take refuge in the school.
Male Student: A-ah… Come on everyone, let’s go!
Female Student: O-okay. But, is the school building even safe?
Male Student: It’s better than being here. Come on, let’s go!
Female Student: Alright…
Encouraged by Tsukimiya-sensei, everyone returns to their classrooms.
Ringo Tsukimiya: Come now, you too, hurry.
Tsukimiya-sensei unties my rope.
Haruka Nanami: I… I’m going to stay here.
Ringo Tsukimiya: Nacchan isn’t normal right now. If you get involved in that, you’ll be sorry. If something were to happen to you…
Haruka Nanami: But I’m Shinomiya-san’s partner. Is it wrong to want to stay by his side until the end?
Ringo Tsukimiya: ... Okay. It seems your teacher will stay too. Because both of you are my precious students.
Haruka Nanami: … Teacher.
Shining Saotome: HyyyAAAH!!
Natsuki Shinomiya: Hmph!
Every time the principal and Shinomiya-san clash, the ground shakes like an earthquake.
A huge mass of energy springs out from each of their bodies and a giant light engulfs each of them.
The aura on the principal’s side is golden and on Shinomiya-san’s side is jet black.
Their fists never falter as they push against each other, but the principal is being pushed back slightly.
The jet black aura engulfs the body of the principal, who emits a dazzling light…
Ringo Tsukimiya: It’s like a solar eclipse. Huh, I wonder what the heck kind of person he is to be equally matched with Shiny.
BAM!
The jet black aura radiating from Shinomiya-san’s body suddenly erupts and swells exponentially.
Natsuki Shinomiya: Hmph!
He closes the gap between him and the principal, driving his fist into the ground at his feet.
Crack!
A crack runs through the ground under the principal’s feet.
Crack!
Shinomiya-san continues to drive his fist into the ground.
The ground... is going to be cracked open… T-the school will be… The Earth will be broken…
As I think that, the principal quickly picks up Shinomiya-san’s glasses.
Shining Saotome: This is the ENNND!
He puts the glasses on Shinomiya-san’s face.
At that moment...
Haruka Nanami: Ah…
The air changes. The clouds clear out and the black aura that had covered the school building before disappears.
Natsuki Shinomiya: Huh? ... The school yard is all messed up all of a sudden...?
Shinomiya-san is back to his gentle, calm self.
Haruka Nanami: Shinomiya-san.
Tumblr media
When I run up to him, Shinomiya-san smiles and embraces me tightly.
Haruka Nanami: U-um…
Natsuki Shinomiya: I’m sorry. You were scared, right?

いえ、信じてましたから I wasn’t. I believed in you. (+20 Love, +0 Music)
Natsuki Shinomiya: Nanami-san… thank you…
Natsuki Shinomiya: For believing in me like this... I'm sure you must have been very scared while having that terrible experience with Saotome-sensei…
Natsuki Shinomiya: I’m so sorry. I am nothing more than a weakling.
Natsuki Shinomiya: If only I had the power, if only I was strong enough to protect you...
Haruka Nanami: Shinomiya-san…?
Shinomiya-san clasps my hand firmly.
However, I feel his hands trembling so much that I immediately realize he was actually afraid to fight the school principal.
Still, this man did his very best to protect me.
I can feel the warmth from the palm of Shinomiya-san’s hand. That alone shows how Shinomiya-san tried with utmost effort.
Shinomiya-san diligently protected me. He’s not a weak person at all.
Haruka Nanami: It’s okay. I think you are strong enough. Rather, you’re just not aware of it.
But... I won’t say anything right now. I'm sure it's something that Shinomiya-san will notice for himself someday.
Shining Saotome: Mmm. Such passionate lovey-doveyness. That's the smell of school rules being violated.
Ringo Tsukimiya: Now, now, let’s leave it be. Besides…
Ringo Tsukimiya: What happened with Nacchan's glasses seems troublesome. We have to be careful about not letting them come off.
Later on, this day would be known as the legendary “Shinomiya glasses incident”. Everyone in the school would vow not to take off Shinomiya-san's glasses.
That evening, I was delayed in the classroom and ended up being late to go home.
Then, as soon as I go outside, it starts to rain.
Haruka Nanami: Ah…
I need to hurry home.
When that thought comes into my head, I start running.
Cat: Meow~, meow~.
I hear the sad cry of a kitten.
Haruka Nanami: Huh? A cat? Where… ?
I look around, but can’t find anything.
Cat: Meoooww~~, meoooww~~.
Haruka Nanami: The meowing is close…
Select the Phrase!
Tumblr media
下を見る Look down. (+10 Love, +5 Music)
Ah.... Could it be that it fell into a crack in the ground that Shinomiya-san made earlier?
Cat: MEowW~~!
The kitten lets out a remarkably loud meow.
Haruka Nanami: Ah! To think you're stuck down there...
That's where the kitten is‚ in one of the cracks in the ground that Shinomiya-san made.
Haruka Nanami: Wait a moment now, okay. I’m going to rescue you.
I reach into the rift in the ground and manage to pick up the kitten.
Haruka Nanami: Thank goodness. If you had fallen into a deeper crack, I might not have been able to rescue you.
Even after I pick it up, the kitten is trembling in my arms.
... I guess it‘s really scared.
Haruka Nanami: It’s okay now. Wait... this kitten... Oh, that’s right.
The kitten is the one that I helped at the entrance ceremony.
Tumblr media
From then on, I call the kitten ‘Kuppuru’ and secretly start keeping it in my dormitory.
Kuppuru: Meoow~. Meoow~.
Haruka Nanami: Heh heh. Kuppuru really likes melon bread~.
I’ve tried various things so far, but Kuppuru would rather have sweet bread than cat food…
Especially melon bread—that seems to be the one he loves.
It’s a little strange that melon bread is the kitty’s favorite food, but this kitty is also my precious friend now.
Mini Game
Ringo Tsukimiya: Hehe. Today we will have a written test as a review of what we’ve studied so far!
Ringo Tsukimiya: Don’t worry, it won’t have difficult questions.
Ringo Tsukimiya: It's a test of how much knowledge you've gained so far, so if you’ve studied hard, there should be no problem!
Ringo Tsukimiya: After this, choose the best answer to each question, okay?
Ringo Tsukimiya: The questions on the test include a lot of things that can be found in the dictionary, so you should know them perfectly if you've studied.
Ringo Tsukimiya: Hehe. All right, the test begins now!
S Rank
The next day, I report the test results to Shinomiya-san.
Natsuki Shinomiya: Even though there are so many questions, you always come up with the correct answer… As expected, you're really amazing.
Shinomiya-san murmurs with admiration as he looks over the answer sheet.
Haruka Nanami: This time I just happened to know all the questions, so it was a perfect score... I still have much to do.
I’m going to study a lot more and use that knowledge in my compositions.

Figured I’d do a gear review for something I use almost daily, and some gear that frustrates the hell out of me.
E collar straps
I’ve got four straps here, these are the most common straps you will see on the market. I use a mini-educator/EZ-900, so these straps are suitable for those receivers.
Tumblr media
1 & 2
Left: standard buckle, right: “antenna” bungee style
The collar on the left is the one you used to get with every educator collar. It’s a thin biothane buckle collar with a zillion holes for maximum size adjustment, and the excess can be cut off or folded over. Educator stopped sending these out with their collars because they understood the need for more adjustment/comfort, and the standard straps just weren’t cutting it.
They work for some dogs to get firm, consistent contact, but many people find that they have contact issues because of the flexing and movement of the neck. For example, if the collar is placed too low on the neck, it can slide up and lose contact. The solution is high-and-tight, but then you have comfort issues when the dogs neck swells, turns, flexes, etc. The good thing about these straps is that they’re cheap, simple and easy to get a snug fit, and you can easily take them off and on and remember the hole you were in.
The collar on the right is your “antenna” style bungie, made popular by FullGripSupply. This is the most common bungie collar on the market. Extremely easy to fit, you just slip it over the dogs head, pull it taut, and make sure it’s not too tight. The collar can be placed lower on the neck (and some trainers do this intentionally) because it will tighten as it moves up the neck. No matter where the receiver is on the neck, it will be firm contact.
The downsides of this collar is that a good ~1/3 of it (when on the dog) is thin cord. I don’t think Floyd minds it on the back of his neck, but I can imagine if you had it on the throat it would be irritating. It also has the tendency to break hair!
Tumblr media
3 & 4
Left: K9 Tactical Gear, Right: buckle bungie
The collar on the left is from K9 Tactical Gear and is a similar style to the one on the right. This collar is good because it has a wide strap all the way around, and doesn’t cause hair breakage like the antenna style collar. The downside is that some of the colour varieties (this one was kryptek black) can fade with use, as mine did, and others are more flexible. I hear that the green strap is too flexible to be used with winged contact points; the collar just tilts from side to side.
The downside to this collar is that if it gets wet, it holds moisture tight against the skin. My dog (prone to hotspots) got a hotspot this way, despite me rotating the collar around. Another downside to this collar is that the strap is TIGHT to get through the receiver. I have to use pliers to get the strap through the box on a mini educator. The bungee strap is flexible, it has give, but I think this niche could be filled better.
The collar on the right is a buckle bungee. This biothane collar strap is becoming more common, with Educator selling them and sending them out in the boxes with the collars now. The hair tie style bungie has some give to it, but not enough IMO. I had mine custom-made by Wilson Gun Dog Supply, and overall it’s a nicely made collar. The hole adjustments give you a wide variety of sizing options, and it can easily be taken on and off via the click buckle. This collar is also waterproof and won’t hold moisture against your dogs neck.
I mostly use the antenna style collar despite me trying each of the other collars, because I enjoy how easy it is to adjust. I slide the receiver to one side of the strap so I can take off the collar and flip it to one side or the other, without having a cord on Floyd’s throat. The only downside is that it has broken hair on Floyd’s neck which kinda sucks. If only there were a collar like this but which could avoid that problem 🤔🤔🤔
Sometime soon, I will be testing a new strap design that’s not yet on the market, and I’ll show y’all when I get it. Anyways, those are my reviews. If you have suggestions or cool collars to try out, send em my way

Protect Your Investment with Quality Trailer Covers in Sunnybank Hills
Tumblr media
When you own a trailer, you have a versatile and invaluable tool at your disposal. Whether you use it for work or play, your trailer is an investment that deserves protection. In Sunnybank Hills, where the sun can be scorching, the occasional rain showers can be unpredictable, and dust and debris are a constant concern, a high-quality trailer cover is a must-have accessory. In this blog post, we'll explore the benefits of investing in a trailer cover and share some tips on selecting the perfect one for your needs in Sunnybank Hills.
The Importance of Trailer Covers
Protection from the Elements: Sunnybank Hills, like much of Queensland, experiences a wide range of weather conditions. From intense sunlight to heavy rain and strong winds, these elements can take a toll on your trailer. A quality cover acts as a shield, keeping your trailer safe from the harsh sun's UV rays, preventing rust, and preventing water damage.
Dust and Debris Control: Dust and debris can accumulate quickly, especially if your trailer is parked outdoors or in a dusty environment. A trailer cover will keep your trailer clean and free from unwanted particles, ensuring that it's always ready for action when you need it.
Security and Theft Deterrent: A trailer cover conceals the contents of your trailer, deterring potential thieves. It adds an extra layer of security and ensures that your equipment and belongings are hidden from prying eyes.
Choosing the Right Trailer Cover
Material Matters: Look for covers made from durable materials like polyester or polypropylene. These materials are water-resistant and offer excellent UV protection. Ensure the cover has adequate ventilation to prevent condensation and mold.
Size and Fit: It's crucial to choose a cover that fits your trailer snugly. A loose-fitting cover can be blown away by strong winds, while a tight fit may cause stress on the cover. Measure your trailer's dimensions and select a cover designed for your specific trailer model.
Quality Zippers and Fastenings: Quality zippers and fastenings make it easy to access your trailer when needed and ensure a secure, tight fit. Look for covers with reinforced seams and straps to keep the cover in place.
Warranty and Brand Reputation: Consider purchasing a cover from a reputable brand that offers a warranty. This will give you peace of mind knowing that the cover is built to last and that you're protected if any issues arise.
Where to Find Trailer Covers in Sunnybank Hills
Sunnybank Hills has a variety of options for purchasing trailer covers. You can explore local auto parts stores, outdoor equipment retailers, or even consider shopping online. It's essential to read reviews, compare prices, and choose a seller or manufacturer with a good reputation for quality and customer service.
Conclusion

Why Choose a Fishing Kayak?
Fishing kayaks offer several advantages over traditional fishing boats:
Affordability: Fishing kayaks are generally more affordable than motorized boats, making them accessible to a broader range of anglers.
Portability: Kayaks are lightweight and easy to transport, often fitting on the roof of a car or in the back of a truck.
Versatility: They can access shallow waters, narrow inlets, and other areas where larger boats cannot go, increasing your fishing options.
Stealth: Kayaks are quiet, allowing you to approach fish without scaring them away.
Exercise: Paddling a kayak provides a good workout, making your fishing trip beneficial for both your body and mind.
Key Features of Fishing Kayaks
When choosing a fishing kayak, there are several essential features to consider:
1. Stability
Primary Stability: Refers to how stable the kayak feels when you're sitting still. Fishing kayaks often have a wider hull for better primary stability, which is crucial for casting and reeling in fish.
Secondary Stability: Refers to how stable the kayak feels when it's tilted or leaned to one side. This is important if you plan to fish in rougher waters.
2. Length and Width
Length: Longer kayaks (12-14 feet) track better and move faster, making them suitable for covering more water. However, they can be harder to maneuver in tight spaces.
Width: Wider kayaks (around 30-36 inches) provide more stability, ideal for beginners or those who prefer to stand while fishing.
3. Weight Capacity
Consider your weight, the gear you'll bring, and any potential catch. Ensure the kayak has a weight capacity that accommodates all of these without compromising stability and performance.
4. Comfort
Seating: Look for adjustable, padded seats with good back support. You'll spend hours sitting, so comfort is essential.
Footrests: Adjustable footrests allow you to find the most comfortable paddling position.
5. Storage Options
Dry Storage: Waterproof compartments for storing valuable items like phones, wallets, and cameras.
Rod Holders: Built-in or add-on rod holders keep your fishing rods secure and easily accessible.
Tank Wells: Open storage areas with bungee cords are great for storing larger items like coolers or tackle boxes.
6. Material
Polyethylene: Durable and affordable, but can be heavy.
Composite: Lightweight and offers better performance, but is more expensive and less durable.
Inflatable: Highly portable and easy to store, but less durable and stable.
Types of Fishing Kayaks
1. Sit-On-Top Kayaks
The most popular choice for fishing. They offer easy access to gear and are self-draining, meaning water that splashes in will drain out.
2. Sit-In Kayaks
These kayaks provide more protection from the elements, making them a good choice for colder environments. However, they offer less mobility for accessing gear.
3. Pedal Kayaks
These kayaks use a pedal-driven propeller or flipper system, allowing hands-free movement, which is ideal for fishing.
4. Inflatable Kayaks
Easy to transport and store, but they require inflation and deflation. They are less durable and stable compared to hard-shell kayaks.
Tips for Fishing from a Kayak
Stay Organized: Keep your gear within easy reach and use tackle boxes or organizers to avoid clutter.
Safety First: Always wear a life jacket, carry a whistle, and have a plan in case of emergencies.
Know the Water: Familiarize yourself with the area you'll be fishing in. Check for any potential hazards like strong currents, rocks, or other obstacles.
Stay Stealthy: Move slowly and quietly to avoid spooking fish. Use the wind and current to your advantage.
Practice Casting: Casting from a kayak can be tricky, so practice in calm waters before heading out to your favorite fishing spot.
Conclusion
Fishing kayaks offer an exciting and accessible way to enjoy fishing in various environments. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a beginner, choosing the right kayak can enhance your fishing experience. By considering factors like stability, comfort, storage, and the type of water you'll be fishing in, you can find the perfect fishing kayak that meets your needs. Happy fishing!
