Izumi | (It’s finally Akito’s ollie scene.) |
Akito | “Phew…” |
|
Shion | “…” |
Touma | “…” |
Akito | “Alright…!” |
Touma | “GO…!" |
Akito | “…Tch!” |
| *jumps* |
Akito | “…!” |
Shion | “——…!” |
Touma | “WOOHOO!” |
Akito | “Hehe, aw yeah!” |
Shion | “Nice ollie! You did it!” |
Akito | “Thank you! I was finally able to pull one off since Touma’s been teaching me again.” |
Touma | “I just helped a little bit. |
| That was thanks to all your hard work practising, Akito.” |
Izumi | (We staged it with a projection this time, but mysteriously enough, it’s like he really did land an ollie. This scene really strikes a chord in your heart.) |
| (Kumon-kun’s acting that’s free from restraints… it’s brighter and more energetic than usual. And it makes me happy and excited watching it all the way from here.) |
| (Both Taichi-kun and Muku-kun watching him… |
| They look like they’re having fun with really great expressions on their faces.) |
Hazuki | “…” |
|
Akito | “That guy over there is… |
| Wait! Hazuki-san!” |
Hazuki | “…What do you want?” |
Akito | “We were able to make up thanks to what you said the other day. Thanks.” |
Touma | “I realized what you said was important about skating.” |
Hazuki | “I see, good for you. …See you.” |
Akito | “And that’s why it’s your turn next!” |
Hazuki | “?” |
Akito | “You gotta relay that important lesson to Ryuga too, just like we did. …I mean, if he’s your friend.” |
Touma | “Ehh, they were friends? |
| I didn’t hear about that.” |
Hazuki | “…It’s no use. My words can’t reach him anymore.” |
| “No matter what I say, he’s still clinging to the outcome of his races …It’s pointless.” |
Akito | “Even if your words don’t work, you’ve got this! Don’t you!” |
Touma | “Yep, it’s gotta be this!” |
Hazuki | “A skateboard? …You don’t mean—.” |
Akito | “That’s exactly what I mean.” |
Hazuki | “…” |
| |
Izumi | (A few days later, Touma and the others meet Ryuga again at the park.) |
Shion | “I can’t believe you invited Ryuga to a race… |
| What’s more, he actually came, huh?” |
Touma | “I thought Iori-san might know a thing or two, so I asked him for a favour.” |
| “And as it turns out, Iori-san is also an old friend of Ryuga’s. So he got in touch with him.” |
Akito | “What a crazy connection, huh~?” |
|
Ryuga | “Oh my, long time no see. Little loser puppy from before.” |
|
Touma | “…” |
Ryuga | “Did you come so I could impart some bruises on you again today? |
| Well, that’s fine by me. That’ll be perfect in place of an autograph.” |
Touma | “I’m not the one who’s your opponent today.” |
Ryuga | “You are…” |
Hazuki | “…” |
Ryuga | “…Who were you again?” |
| “Oh well, it’ll be more fun for me to fight a guy like you than such a weakling.” |
Hazuki | “I’m your opponent. Face me properly.” |
Ryuga | “…What an noisy fellow. |
| “I’ll make you quit the race immediately.” |
| |
Hazuki | “Hoo…!” |
| *jumps* |
Ryuga | “Out of the way…!” |
|
| *shoves* |
Hazuki | “…” |
Izumi | (Ryuga and Hazuki race using their speed and tricks… |
| This scene really is something to behold.) |
| (Akashi-kun and Rento-kun who were handling our staging have a lot to learn from the staff here.) |
Shion | “Hazuki-san is dodging Ryuga’s interferences! Amazing…” |
Akito | “They’re skating like they’re testing each other…” |
Touma | “Both of them are wicked good. But…” |
| |
Hazuki | “*Pant, pant pant*…” |
Ryuga | “Hmph, it’s my win. That was a piece of cake…” |
Hazuki | “Pfft… Hahaha.” |
|
Ryuga | “…What’s with you?” |
Hazuki | “I had fun skating with you for the first time in a while.” |
Ryuga | “…” |
Shion | “Ryuga ran off.” |
Touma | “It was no use, huh…” |
Akito | “I’m sorry we couldn’t help, Hazuki-san…” |
Hazuki | “It’s fine, I’ll try inviting him again. |
| With the way it feels now, I’m sure he’ll skate with me again next time.” |
Akito | “…! Is that so…” |
| |
Raido | “Did you hear? Apparently, that legendary skater Ryuga has been racing with this other skater named Hazuki a lot lately.” |
Chiyuki | “Ryuga had the image of a solo skater, right? I mean, if it improves the public safety, then I guess that works out.” |
|
Raido | “What’s with that half-hearted response? |
| That totally sounds like something you’d say.” |
Touma | “Let’s go!” |
Akito | “I won’t lose this time!” |
Shion | “You guys ready?” |
Chiyuki | “Well, I guess skating with your friends is the same everywhere…” |
Raido | “Should we race too?” |
Chiyuki | “…Don’t complain if you lose, alright?” |
Raido | “Bring it on.” |
Izumi | (The sound of the guys skateboarding while having fun from the bottom of their hearts resonates throughout the theatre…) |
