Spare the Rod and Spoil the Child!?

Dia
Alright girls, once warm-up exercises are over, we'll be doing our long distance run!

Hanamaru
Dia-san, I've got a question, zura!

Dia
Hmm? What is it, Hanamaru-san?

Hanamaru
Who planned the route for today's long distance run?

Dia
It's by You-san.

Hanamaru
Uugh... That's gonna be a harsh one, zura...

Dia
Isn't that perfect in helping us to re-shape our bodies that have become rusty over the winter holidays?

Hanamaru
No way, zura~! Maru's body is still tired from the holidays, zura! So, please assign a simpler running course!

Dia
Rejected. Hanamaru-san, don't you know the proverb "spare the rod and spoil the child"? In the Japanese tale "Taiheiki", the lion threw her cubs into a deep valley so that only those that could climb up would be raised by her...

Hanamaru
Dia-san, you would never throw Maru down a cliff!!

Dia
Of course I will not actually do that to you...

Hanamaru
Dia-san, even though you have been strict, you have always been watching over Maru so warmly, zura! So, please don't push us too much, zura!

Dia
Y-you have a point... I suppose I cannot be too strict....

Hanamaru
Don't you agree, Dia-san...? Maru... will do her best, so please reconsider a more relaxing course...?

Dia
T-then, we will go with Riko-san's running course.

Hanamaru
Hoorayyy!
