Masumi
MukuMasumi-kun? You’re holding your board…
Are you going out somewhere?
SK∞ the Infinity × A3! 8-1.jpg
MasumiPractise. It’s my recent daily routine.
MukuWait, really!?
MasumiI can’t lose to the local skaters, or to Rento and them.
I’ll get even better and make Director think I’m cool.
MukuWow, that’s love…!
Um! If that’s your plan, then I’d like to practise too.
Is it alright if I come along?
Masumi…Do what you want.
MukuEhehe, thank you very much.
Where do you usually practise, Masumi-kun?
MasumiNowhere in particular. Wherever works.
Homare…Oh my? Could you be going out to practise?
MukuArisu-san!
HomareIf you are searching for a spot, then how about a gymnasium?
When I met with my acquaintance, they told me we can practising skating there.
I was considering going, but I haven’t had the chance.
Since we all have the same goal, why don’t we pay that gym a visit?
MasumiAnywhere is fine as long as we can practise.
HomareThen it’s settled! I shall guide you.
MukuSure! Please lead the way!
HomareIt is here.
Masumi…There’s so many people.
SK∞ the Infinity × A3! 8-2.jpg
HomareThere are. A boy seems to be holding some sort of press interview over there.
MiyaI still have a long way to go.
I feel I’m lacking in experience compared to the top skaters.
Experience expands my imagery for tricks.
In that aspect, I’d like to go up against all sorts of opponents.
SK∞ the Infinity × A3! 8-3.jpg
MukuThat boy being interviewed must a famous skater.
He looks so young though. That’s amazing…
Ainosuke—.
Kikuchi

HomareUmu, it seems some higher-up has come to observe as well. We might not be able to practise today.
MasumiIt doesn’t matter what anyone else is doing.
I’m just here to practise for her.
If we can’t do that here, then I’ll look for another place.
MukuGood idea.
HomareWe’ll do what we must. Let’s switch locations.
IzumiGreat job once again in today’s performance.
MasumiGood work.
TsumugiWe’ve finished changing our clothes and tidying up, so all that’s left is to return to the hotel.
AzumaRight. Let’s take our time and relax at the hotel.
SK∞ the Infinity × A3! 8-5.jpg
KumonI’m going go practise at the park!
You guys head back first!
OmiAfter this…? We just finished with today’s show though?
HomareWould it not be more prudent to rest?
KumonDon’t worry, don’t worry!
We didn’t have a soiree today!
Ah. You rest, Taichi-san. You’re always keeping me company, but I’ll be fine by myself!
TaichiEh, hold on, Kyu-chan!
I’m going too!
IzumiAh. Wait, you two…!
MukuAnd they’re gone.
Will they be alright…
TsumugiThey also left to practise right after the show ended yesterday. I worry…
Izumi
Taichi
SK∞ the Infinity × A3! 8-6.jpg
IzumiTaichi-kun.
TaichiDirector-sensei.
Izumi…How is Kumon-kun doing?
Taichi
Kyu-chan’s putting in lots of effort.
But…
I’m not sure if what I’m doing is right, or if I should keep going like this.
I wonder if the fact I said Kyu-chan might be able to pull off an ollie is tying him down…
Izumi
TaichiI mean of course I want Kyu-chan to succeed with his ollie!
Kyu-chan is trying his best, and I’m gonna do everything I can too—.
But the likelihood he can make it happen during the run of this show is…
…Hm, no. Forget what I just said.
I’m going back to my room!
IzumiAh, Taichi-kun—.
(He left…)
(It looked like Taichi-kun feels responsible and is agonizing over it.
The situation is quite serious…)
(How should we resolve this?)
*knock, knock*
AzumaDo you have a minute, Director?
IzumiYeah, come in.
*door opens*
Azuma…So you see, I got some admission stickers for “S” from an acquaintance.
Through a top-secret channel. Here you go.
SK∞ the Infinity × A3! 8-7.jpg
IzumiS? What’s that?
Azuma“S” is an underground, top-secret skateboarding race that takes place in a closed down, abandoned mine.
They hold these things called “beefs” there, and a huge number of spectators go crazy over them.
We have tomorrow off, so why won’t we all go there to watch some skaters skate in a slightly different way?
IzumiSkateboarding race battles, beefs…
(But there’s still Kumon-kun and Taichi-kun’s issue…)
AzumaThe location might be a little bit dangerous, but it might be good kick in our motivation.
Izumi(…Azuma-san has a point.
We might be able to gain something from this.)
Alright, sure.
I’ll call everyone else!
This is the venue for “S”…
KumonThey hold beefs here, huh?
So cool…!
OmiIt’s bustling with people.
TsumugiWe can watch the “beef” from that monitor.
SK∞ the Infinity × A3! 8-8.jpg
AzumaIt looks like those two are the ones skating today.
KumonAh! That guy…!
SK∞ the Infinity × A3! 8-9.jpg
TaichiThat’s the guy who was practising at the park!
IzumiThat boy?
MukuI remember seeing that other boy too!
He was getting interviewed at the gym we went to the other day…
MasumiOh yeah. I guess we saw him.
HomareI never imagined he would be participating in this beef.
TsumugiAh, it looks like the beef is starting.
*jumps and spins*

*jumps and spins*
SK∞ the Infinity × A3! 8-11.jpg
KumonTheir speed is amazing…!
MukuThese are real skaters…
HomareBoth of their skating is magnificent.
IzumiWoah, they flew…!
TsumugiIt’s mind-blowing, huh?
To think they can do something like that…
Gallery member AHey, is that guy’s feet fixed in place?
Gallery member BHe can skate like that?
Taichi—.
I see… that was what felt off the other day!
That guy has fixings attached to his board that hold his feet in place!
OmiI see.
So you mean it’s been modified?
AzumaPerhaps he’s an experienced snowboarder.
Kumon
*cheers*
AzumaThey made it to the goal. Both of them were amazing.
MukuMy heart was racing…!
HomareIt was a photo finish, but it appears the boy with the blue eyes won.
RekiLanga!
Langa…Reki.
SK∞ the Infinity × A3! 8-12.jpg
*jumps and hugs*
RekiYou’re amazing!
SK∞ the Infinity × A3! 8-13.jpg
LangaWoah?
RekiThat was amazing.
TaichiThat person who just rushed over—isn’t he the other guy who was at the park?
KumonYou’re right…
TaichiThose two really look like they’re having so much fun.
Kumon…Yeah.
