| Announcer | “…It has come to light that the figure skater Yokomizo is making a comeback as a professional player.” |
| Banri | Huh, so this guy is going pro now. |
| Tsuzuru | You know him? |
| Banri | Well, not really… I just thought that I had seen him show up in a tournament I happened to catch on TV a long time ago. |
| Muku | Wow… Figure skaters are like princes who dance on ice - they’re so cool! |
| Announcer | “While Yokomizo was a star competitor with many expectations placed upon him, he had to distance himself from the front stage after suffering an injury and retiring.” |
| Muku | I see, so he had to retire due to an injury… |
| Kazunari | But hey, he just got better and came back! Things are just starting out! |
| Banri | After watching these skating news I also wanna go out onto the ice. |
| Kazunari | As expected, Settsaa! Actually, speaking of ice skating— |
| *a door opens* |
| Omi | We’re home. |
| Muku | Ah, Tasuku-san, Omi-san, welcome back. |
| Kazunari | Hey! Those flyers Takusu’s holding…! |
| Tasuku | Oh, these? These were forced on me in front of the station on my way home. |
| Kazunari | Nice one, Takusu! I was just going to bring this up. |
| It’s about a limited time skating rink a town over that I always go to every year. |
| In the first half the rink is open to all skaters and in the second half there’s a special stage for all sorts of events. |
| It seems like they’re going to hold an ice show with figure skaters who compete on the regular~ |
| Muku | Wow! How interesting! |
| Kazunari | Television stations might be in cahoots with the sponsors. If I remember correctly, there’s been some talk about a part of the show being broadcast too! |
| Omi | Wow. It’s quite the big deal then. |
| *a door opens* |
| Izumi | I’m home~ |
| Tsuzuru | Welcome back, director. |
| Izumi | Ah! Tasuku-san, those flyers…! |
| Tasuku | …You too, huh. |
| Izumi | …? |
| Banri | What’s so special about the flyers? |
| Izumi | The thing is, the skating rink’s planning team requested a performance by us. |
| Kazunari | Eeh!? Talk about good timing! |
| Tsuzuru | Wait, could it be that the request means… |
| Muku | Being part of the event on the special stage…? |
| Izumi | That’s right. It would act as good publicity for the troupe since it’s being broadcast on television, and Sakyo-san said that there’s no reason not to utilise this chance. |
| They’ll lend us some skates too. |
| Banri | As expected from Sakyo-san… Of course he wouldn’t let something like this escape from his sight. |
| Tsuzuru | Acting in a skating rink… That actually sounds like a pretty fun theme. |
| Izumi | However, we have one problem... |
| Tasuku | And that is? |
| Izumi | Since our stage is going to be a skating rink this time, the ability to skate is a necessity to some extent. |
| Omi | Now that you mention it, acting is going to be hard if you can’t skate… |
| Izumi | It’s probably going to be pretty difficult, but… I hope you guys will still join in! |
| Tsuzuru-kun, can I trust you with writing the script? |
| Tsuzuru | Of course. I’ll give it my all. |
