Taichi | Push, push—like you’re running. |
| Yeah, that’s it! |
Kumon | Push, push! |
|
Omi | It really does feel different from a snowboard, huh? |
Azuma | …Do I do it like this? |
Muku | Wow. You’re maneuvering like an expert, Azu nee-san! |
| You look so cool…! |
Homare | Feel the wind and try skateboarding… |
| HA! Poetic inspiration has spring forth! |
| Lightly on the skateboard, take off at the airport, languidly gorgeous, swift cowboys~. |
Tsumugi | Alright, I’ll give it a try since I’m here… |
| First, I’ll place my feet… on the board…. |
| *almost falls* |
Masumi | Tsumugi, get off at once. It’s way too dangerous to watch. I’ll lend you my hand. |
Tsumugi | T-thank you, Masumi-kun. |
Izumi | (Azuma-san is skating around dashingly. And Homare-san is also riding his board well with his naturally strong core.) |
| (It looks like everyone’s getting used to skateboarding, little-by-little.) |
Taichi | You’re doing great, Kyu-chan! |
Kumon | Hehe, yay! |
Taichi | I knew everyone was gonna get the hang of it. |
| We picked the right guys after all! |
| |
| *flashback starts* |
| |
Tsuzuru | …Well, this is what I’m thinking for the contents for now. |
Taichi | Sounds great! There’s a wide age range and each role is unique. It’ll be interesting! |
| If there’s one thing I’d add… skating is fun, so I wanna make the most of that. |
| It’d be great if everyone ends up smiling at the end of the story! |
|
Tsuzuru | Got it. I’ll try to incorporate that. |
Izumi | There doesn’t seem to be any problems with the general plot, so let’s discuss the cast accordingly. |
| |
| Okay. I guess we’ve got the adult skaters and the antagonists pretty much sorted out. |
Banri | Good luck, Tsumugi-san. |
Tsumugi | Y-yeah. |
Tenma | Hold on a minute. We were saying Tsumugi-san doesn’t skate, weren’t we? |
Sakuya | The ex-skater florist is perfect for Tsumugi-san though. |
Izumi | Next, we need to figure out the casting for the two young skaters apart from Taichi-kun. |
| Sakuya-kun and Hisoka-san have experience, so taking that into account, it might be a good idea to cast them. |
| But from the main outline I just heard from Tsuzuru-kun… if it’s going to center around two skaterboys where one has experience and the other one doesn’t—. |
| Then I think there would be a stronger link with the story if we chose amateurs aside from Taichi. |
Sakuya | I agree. |
Taichi | An amateur… |
| …In that case, how ‘bout Kyu-chan? |
Banri | Kumon? |
Taichi | He told me he wanted to start skating the other day. Plus, he’s good at sports! |
| I’m sure he’ll be ripping down the road right away if he practices! |
Tsumugi | I see. |
| I feel like it suits his image too. |
Banri | Aight, then Kumon’ll play the main role with Taichi. |
Sakuya | We just need one more skaterboy now… |
Tenma | What about Muku? He’s got good reflexes. |
Izumi | The fans will probably love the casting of the cousins too. |
Taichi | Agreed! |
Izumi | Alright, I’ll speak with all the guys we just mentioned. |
| |
| *flashback ends* |
| |
Kumon | I never thought Taichi-san and I would play the leads together either… |
| But we are, so I wanna do my absolute best! |
|
Izumi | (Kumon-kun’s brimming with motivation.) |
Taichi | You really do have great reflexes, Kyu-chan—just like all the other guys! |
| If you keep practicing, then I bet you could also pull off an ollie at this rate! |
Izumi | An ollie? |
Kumon | Is that the move you recorded in your video the other day? |
Taichi | Yep, you got it. It’s a trick where you jump together with your board. |
| Your skating range will expand a whole lot if you learn to ollie! |
Izumi | I see. |
Taichi | Well, it took me quite a while to learn it myself~. |
Kumon | ……… |
Izumi | Kumon-kun? |
Kumon | I… I wanna try to ollie too! |
Taichi | EHH!? |
