With dinner duty out of the way, Kuroko waves Kise off and meanders away to see if the rest of Seirin has finished their extended training. When he reaches the gym, he's surprised to see Kagetora at the door with Nigou in tow. Riko lets him know everyone's already hit the showers ahead of dinner. The dog is very excited to see his favorite person and runs circles around Kuroko and Kagetora mentions they've hardly had time to exercise him properly, suggesting for them to go on a walk while he stays back to discuss their progress with his daughter.

Of course, Kuroko is more than happy to spoil their precious team mascot, taking the leash in hand and following the eager puppy's lead. Nigou will drag him back towards the inn, but veer into the surrounding forests, drawn in by the smells of nature.
