Why do you keep referring to Fuutarou Uesugi by last name when there are 3 Uesugi's? Do you say the person beside Fuutarou Uesugi is Nakano instead of Yotsuba?

Anyhoo, that's how 1 person should lift. Yotsuba said when they were already both lifting...Soooo you're talking about a different thing from Yotsuba?

@BCLC After saying that line, Yotsuba immediately comforted Uesugi, 'b-b-but it's always easier with more help'. This line implies Yotsuba planned that she and Uesugi each lift a log, but anyway, two people lift one log made it easier. Since it was comforting, what she previously said, that is, the line in this question, is more or less a complaint about Uesugi's inability to lift a log by himself.
