| Kumon | … |
| Taichi | Ah. There you are, Kyu-chan! |
 |
| Kumon | Taichi-san. What’s up? |
| Taichi | I was thinking of wandering around for a bit! |
| We have the day off today, so wanna go out together? |
| Kumon | Eh? Sure, that’s fine by me… |
| Taichi | Alright, you said it! Let’s head out right now. |
| |
| Mm~! This ice cream tastes amazing~. |
| What flavour did you get, Kyu-chan? |
| Kumon | Um, I think it was purple yam and Okinawa lime sorbet? |
 |
| Taichi | That sounds super tasty~! |
| Hey, hey, can I have a bite? |
| Kumon | Yeah, go ahead. |
| Taichi | Thanks! Try mine too. |
| Kumon | …Mm, your ice cream is yummy too! |
| Taichi | The sorbet’s also great~! |
| We’ve been staying here for a bit now, but I never had a proper look around this area. It’s fun going out of our way to stroll around. |
| Kumon | Yeah! |
| Taichi | …I’m glad. |
| Kumon | Eh? |
| Taichi | You looked less energetic than usual since our performances kicked off. |
| Ah, of course I can tell you’re giving it your all in the play though! |
| Kumon | Ahaha… |
| I didn’t mean to be that way. |
| I know I said myself that I wouldn’t ollie. Yet I still can’t help but feel some regret about it. |
| …But, hey! Thanks to you, I’m having lots of fun right now! |
| Taichi | Hehe. Good to hear. |
| …Okay! Since we’re out and about, let’s head down this way! |
| Kumon | Yeah, let’s go! |
| |
| What the!? It’s the skatepark we were practising in. |
| Taichi | So the road we just came down leads to this park, huh! |
| I had no idea~. |
 |
| Langa | —. |
| Reki | —. |
 |
| Kumon | Ah, someone’s practising. |
| I wonder if those guys are local high school students. |
| Taichi | They’re so lucky they can just drop by and practise in such a scenic spot on their way home from school~. |
| Langa | …But after getting on a board for the first time in a while, for some reason… |
| *skates* |
| Right now—. |
| *jumps* |
| I’m having fun! |
| …! |
 |
| Reki | ——…WOAH! |
| Kumon | Wow…! |
| Taichi | …! |
| Langa | Ah! |
| *falls* |
| Ouuuch… |
| Reki | So? How do you feel after nailing your first ollie? |
| Langa | It… it feels really good. |
| Reki | Langa. |
| *high fives* |
| Langa | Ouch~… |
| Reki | Haha! |
 |
| Taichi | …Those two are having so much fun skating, huh? |
| Kumon | That guy’s covered in scrapes, so I’m sure he’s been practising a lot. |
| … |
| Taichi-san… I’d like to attempt the ollie after all. |
| Taichi | Kyu-chan… |
| |
| Kumon | …And so, could you let me try my hand at it one more time! |
| Taichi | This is a request from me too! |
 |
| Izumi | Kumon-kun, Taichi-kun… |
| I understand how you two feel. |
| But our performances have already started. |
| If you get injured by some chance—. |
| Kumon | …We just saw some local high schoolers skateboarding. |
| One of them probably had experience. But the other one looked like he just started out and was practicing with scratches all over him. |
| That guy landed an ollie right in front of me and Taichi-san’s eyes. |
| I’m sure he practised lots and lots so he could do that ollie. |
| And I want to see that view too. |
| I want to have the audience watch me as I challenge it on my board. |
| Izumi | … |
| Kumon | Of course I know I can’t show the audience something I can’t actually do. |
| And I understand I’m saying something selfish after declaring I’d give up already. |
| But if we see any sign that I’ll succeed during the run of this play… |
| Then please, could you give me another chance? |
| Izumi | (Kumon-kun has an extremely earnest look in his eyes… he’s serious about this.) |
| …I understand. If that how you feel, Kumon-kun. |
| Kumon | —. |
| Izumi | However, I’ll only let you perform it on stage if the condition you just stated is met. |
| You can make that call too, right, Taichi-kun? |
| Taichi | …Yes! |
| Kumon | Director, Taichi-san… thank you! |
| If that’s settled, then I gotta go practise right away! |
| I’ll fetch my skateboard from my room! |
| *runs off* |
| Taichi | Woah, Kyu-chan’s fast! |
| Izumi | But still, a high school skater from the area, huh? |
| That kid must’ve made quite an impression. |
| Taichi | How do I put it… it was a mesmerizing ollie. |
| But something felt kinda off~… |
| Izumi | ? |
| Kumon | Come on! Go get yours too, Taichi-san! |
| Taichi | Ah, I’m going! |
| Izumi | Make sure you don’t stay out too late! |
