Hi everyone! It’s Kokoty!

Today, I’m going to tell you about a little disaster that happened at Hamuya recently. 😥😭

The Beginning of the Tragedy…

One day…

はむ

Maybe we should set some workout goals or something. I just can’t get motivated otherwise.

リッキ

Then how about setting a penalty for anyone who doesn’t reach their goal before summer vacation ends?!

So, it seems that Ricky and Hamu-san came up with this brilliant (and completely unnecessary) idea…

And then, after that…

はむ

Should I join in on this challenge too?! (?)

And there was Hamu-san, asking me to join in even though I was just there at the time…

Meanwhile, I had absolutely no idea what I was getting myself into.

ここてぃ

“Okayyy, I’m in!!”

And just like that, I somehow ended up getting myself (voluntarily) involved too. (^▽^)/

So, here are the rules👇

Goals:
Ricky: Bench press — 80 kg
Hamu: Squat — 130 kg

Penalty:

  • Ricky misses his goal, Hamu reaches his → Kokoty & Hamu get BBQ
  • Hamu misses his goal, Ricky reaches his → Kokoty & Ricky get BBQ
  • Both Ricky & Hamu miss their goals → They both treat Kokoty to BBQ
  • Both Ricky & Hamu reach their goals → Kokoty treats them both to BBQ

Deadline:
September 6, 2026

Penalty Dinner:
Hao Hao Chi Rou (Tainan Minzu Branch)
September 6, noon

At the time, I didn’t think anything of it and immediately agreed to join. But when I thought about it more carefully, I realized that I was basically betting on their results the whole time. 😂


And then, September 6 finally arrived.

Hamu-san was already…

はむ

“I’d say there’s only about a 20% chance I’ll actually reach my goal.”

He seemed pretty pessimistic about it.

ここてぃ

“Hehehe… 😏 BBQ, here I come~~!”

And up until this point, I was happily looking forward to some BBQ…

The Shocking Outcome

I still had enough room to cheer them on:

“Come on, Hamu-san and Ricky! You’ve got this~~~!”

But then, I received one message that made me break out in a cold sweat.

And here it is👇

Kokoty: Good luck, you two!
Ricky: Hamu-san cleared 130 kg!!!
Kokoty: !?!?!?!?!

You can probably tell how shocked I was from my reaction(😂).

I mean, he had been so convinced that he probably wouldn’t make it…

はむ

I somehow managed to do it 😏😂

So, at this point, Ricky was my only hope…

Hamu-san: Ricky failed his first attempt.
ここてぃ

Yesss, yesss, yesss! (o^―^o)

Hamu-san: Ricky cleared it!!!
Kokoty: NOOOOOO 😭💰

That was the moment it was officially decided: I’d be paying for the entire BBQ dinner. 😭

So, I’m taking the two of them out for a well-deserved BBQ… with my money. 😭

Reward Time!

This time, we went to…

So, feeling like coming to Tainan now? Haha.
