| Tsuzuru | Tasuku-san, are you going to go out for skate practice…? |
| Tasuku | ? Yeah, that was the plan… |
| Tsuzuru | Uh… Could I maybe come with you? It’s just that… I want you to teach me proper skating techniques. |
| Tasuku | I don’t mind, but… shouldn’t you already know how to skate if you’re taking part in this performance? |
| Tsuzuru | Well, you see— |
| |
 |
| Sakuya | … So we need some people from Spring troupe to participate in the performance… |
| Citron | Ooh, what an unexpected request! But gliding around on skirts is hard… |
| Masumi | You don’t glide on skirts. |
| Chikage | Let’s see, which one of us five is going to be free… |
| Tsuzuru | Five? |
| Masumi | Me, Sakuya, Tsuzuru, Citron, Chikage. |
| Itaru | Heeeey. |
| Masumi | What. |
| Itaru | What do you mean what? You guys hella mean counting me out from the very start. |
| Chikage | So you want to skate then? |
| Itaru | …I’m taking that back. I will reserve my right to decline this offer. |
| Chikage | Well, now that we have all mutually agreed to remove Chigasaki from the equation, the ones left are… |
| Sakuya | In all honesty, I… don’t have any confidence in my skating skills. |
| Citron | Same~ I have eaten ice but haven’t really skated on it. |
| Tsuzuru | Masumi seems like he could do anything though. |
| Masumi | I don’t wanna. Plus it’s cold out. |
| Chikage | The director could become smitten with you if you did beautiful jumps though? |
| Masumi | I’ll do it. Leave it to me. |
| Itaru | That’s a 180 degree turn[1] if I’ve ever seen one. |
| Tsuzuru | Well then, now we just have to get Chikage-san on board and— |
| Chikage | No can do, I still have work to catch up on. |
| Itaru | Thanks for the end-of-year work. |
| Chikage | You’re doing that too. |
| Itaru | I just had one little slip-up. |
| Actually, how about Tsuzuru? |
| Tsuzuru | Eh!? I, uh, I’m… Well, if it’s just a little bit, then I should be able to do it, but… |
| Masumi | Then it’s decided. |
| Tsuzuru | Masumi! |
| Chikage | You’ll be fine. If nothing else, then you’ll be able to skate better than Chigasaki ever will. |
| Tsuzuru | But I mean, I’m pretty much a beginner, so— |
| Sakuya | Tsuzuru-kun, are you going to be okay…? If it’s too hard, I’ll take your place! |
| Tsuzuru | …No, it’s fine. I’ll do it. |
| |
 |
| …That’s the story. |
| Tasuku | I see… |
| …Got it. I’ll be supporting you as much as I can. |
| Tsuzuru | Thank you so much…! |
| Tasuku | Tell me when you’ll be free on LIME, Minagi. |
| Tsuzuru | Okay! |
