| Tasuku | Would you look at that… this place is more spacious than I thought. |
| Tsuzuru | You would never think that this is just a temporary space. |
| Tasuku | Looks like we’ll be able to practice in peace since there are few people here before the holidays. |
| Tsuzuru | Wow, there’s even a photo spot that looks like a kiss and cry.[1] |
| Tasuku | They were very particular about the details here. Wonder if they’ll go all the way with the lightning too. |
| Tsuzuru | Miyoshi-san would be happy if he got to visit such an Insta pic worthy place. |
| Tasuku | Unlike him, we didn’t come here to play around. It looks like they’re loaning skates over there. |
| Tsuzuru | Alright, better get right down to— |
| ??? | …Tasuku? |
| Tasuku | …? |
 |
| Fuyuki | Haha, I knew it was you. |
| Tasuku | Aniki…!? |
| Tsuzuru | Eh, are you Takato-san’s big brother…!? |
| Fuyuki | Hello, nice to meet you. I’m Takato Fuyuki. |
| Tsuzuru | N-nice to meet you too! I’m Minagi Tsuzuru. |
| Fuyuki | Ooh, I’ve heard about you! You’re the theatre company’s playwright Tasuku is constantly praising. |
| Tsuzuru | Eh? A-am I…!? |
| Tasuku | …Oi. Let’s focus on why you’re here in the first place. |
| Fuyuki | I’m just patrolling, really. |
| There was a robbery case nearby, you see. The culprit has already been caught, but I’m patrolling in this neighbourhood just in case. |
| Tsuzuru | Fuyuki-san, are you a police officer? |
| Fuyuki | You could say that. Anyway, I then happened to spot this skating rink. I was so overcome with nostalgia that I had to stop by and check this out. |
| Tasuku | …You sure are a carefree one. |
| Fuyuki | I did do my job properly, you know. I could actually ask you guys the same question: why are you here? |
| Tsuzuru | We are going to be acting at the event that’s being held here. |
| Fuyuki | Really? Huh, maybe I should come and watch. |
| Tasuku | … |
| Tsuzuru | If Fuyuki-san is coming, I better do my best at scriptwriting… and also at skating practice, of course. |
| Fuyuki | Are you going to skate now? If so, I could teach you something too. |
| Tasuku | Oi, your work— |
| Fuyuki | It’s fine, don’t worry about it. My workday was nearing its end anyway, so it’s fine for me to do something else for a bit… right? |
| Now that it’s been decided, let’s go and borrow some skates! It’s been a long while since I’ve last been on ice, I can’t wait. |
| Tsuzuru | You sure are excited about this, Fuyuki-san. |
| Tasuku | Jeez… |
| Fuyuki | That reminds me — Tasuku, we have been here before. |
| Tasuku | We have? |
| Fuyuki | Eeh~! Don’t you remember!? …Well, you were small back then, so… |
| Tasuku | Is that something you should be so obviously disappointed about? |
| Tsuzuru | (…Takato-san and Fuyuki-san look alike in terms of looks, but I guess they don’t resemble each other much on the inside.) |
| Tasuku | …Hm? What’s up? |
| Tsuzuru | Oh, it’s nothing. |
| |
 |
| Fuyuki | That’s right, you just go forward like that… |
| *Tsuzuru slides on the ice* |
| Tsuzuru | L-like this? |
| Fuyuki | Yeah, just like that. You have some good muscle there, Tsuzuru. |
| Tsuzuru | Ah, thank you very much. |
| …Hm? |
| *fast skating* |
| Wow…. That person skating over there is super good! |
| Fuyuki | Ooh~ You’re right, that doesn’t look like some random average Joe. |
| Tsuzuru | …Huh? Isn’t that the person… who was on TV a while back…? |
