Taichi | Let’s practice in this park! |
| There’s no one here right now, so we can take our time! |
Kumon | Sure! |
| Alriiight, here I go~! |
|
| |
| Urk…! Woah! |
| *falls* |
| Ha… one more time! |
| …There! …Uwaaah! |
| *falls* |
| *Pant, pant, pant*… |
Taichi | (He’s practicing over and over again, but he still can’t quite land an ollie…) |
| (Kyu-chan’s been going at it the whole time so he’s already exhausted.) |
| …I doubt you have enough stamina for any more than this, so let’s call it a day here! |
Kumon | But… |
Taichi | It’s important to rest properly too. |
Kumon | …I got it. |
| … |
| |
Izumi | Where did everyone go today? |
Omi | Azuma-san and I went to a restaurant we were interested in. |
| The atmosphere was nice, and the food was really delicious too. |
|
Izumi | Ooh~! I’m curious now. |
Omi | That reminds me, there were two gentlemen who were arguing in the shop. |
| They kind of reminded me of Banri and Juza. |
Tsumugi | I also took a stroll around town and visited a flower shop I passed by. They had a fresh and unique product lineup. |
Izumi | I see. They must’ve had different flowers from Veludo City, huh? |
Omi | What did you two do, Taichi? |
Taichi | Actually, Kyu-chan and I hit the park together to practice skating. |
| They have tons of skateparks here, so we were able to find a nice spot! |
Omi | Oh, I’m glad to hear that. |
Izumi | By the way, how’s Kumon-kun doing? |
Taichi | Ahh… you see… |
| He’s still practicing… but, but I want him to succeed no matter what! |
Tsumugi | I see… I understand how you feel. |
Izumi | The day of the show is just around the corner though… |
| At this rate, if he tries it and fails, then I’m afraid it’ll lead to a major injury on stage. |
| It pains me to make this decision as the Director. But I might have to steel myself and have a talk with Kumon-kun soon. |
Taichi | Yeah… |
Omi | That’s all we can do… |
| |
Izumi | (The dress rehearsal check is complete.) |
| Thanks for your work today, Rento-san, Akashi-kun. |
Rento | Good job. |
Akashi | Good work… |
|
Rento | Oh yeah, is Kumon’s ollie gonna work out? |
| I heard he’s still practisin’. But if he can’t do one, then there’s no way he can perform one in the show, right? |
Izumi | …I plan to talk to him about that. |
Akashi | Oh, okay… |
| |
Izumi | (Umm, where did Kumon-kun go…) |
Taichi | …Huh? |
| What’re you doing by yourself, Director-sensei? |
|
Izumi | Ah, Taichi-kun. |
| I was looking for Kumon-kun. Do you know where he went? |
| It didn’t look like he was in his room. |
Taichi | I haven’t seen him. |
Izumi | Oh, really… I wanted to talk to him, but my messages aren’t getting through either. |
| Anyways, I guess I’ll give up for now and go buy some snacks. |
Taichi | If you’re gonna go shopping, then I’ll lend you a hand! |
Izumi | Are you sure? Alright, I’ll take you up on your offer. |
Taichi | Just leave it to me! |
| |
Izumi | I think this will be enough snacks. |
| You really helped me out by coming, Taichi-kun. |
Taichi | This is, like, twice the amount I was expecting! |
|
Izumi | I thought I'd get some refreshments for both our troupe members, and those involved in our production. |
| |
Taichi | Ah, this is the skatepark we’re always practising at. |
|
Izumi | So you practise here, huh? |
| It’s quite an authentic skatepark. |
Kumon | … |
Izumi | …Huh, Kumon-kun!? |
Kumon | Director!? And Taichi-san too! |
Taichi | So you were practising here… |
Kumon | Ahaha… I was secretly training by myself but I got caught. |
| How embarrassing~. |
Taichi | Well, if he’s practising, then he wouldn’t notice Director-sensei’s LIMEs. |
Kumon | Wait, seriously!? Sorry, I wasn’t checking my phone at all! |
| Did you need something? |
Izumi | Um… |
| (It’s a bit hard to say here… |
| But I have to strengthen my resolve.) |
| Kumon-kun. It’s about your ollie in the show… |
Kumon | …Hold on a second! |
| …Can you let me say it? |
Izumi | ? |
Kumon | I’m… not gonna ollie after all! |
Taichi | Huh!? |
Izumi | …Eh? |
Kumon | I’ve been practising ever since our rehearsal… |
| But I still don’t feel like I’m going to make it. |
| The show is also coming up. |
| I’m not going to cause any more trouble than this. |
Izumi | Kumon-kun… |
Kumon | You too, Taichi-san! You constantly stayed with me to teach me. I’m so sorry! |
Taichi | N-not at all! Rather… I’m the one who’s sorry I couldn’t help make it happen. |
Kumon | I won’t be able to perform an ollie in the show, but I’ll do my very best! |
Izumi | I-I see. |
| I’m looking forward to your acting, Kumon-kun. |
Kumon | Yeah! |
Izumi | (I never thought he would say that himself. |
| There’s nothing else we can do, so that works out, right…) |
Taichi | … |
| |
Izumi | (We had our twists and turns, but it's finally the first day of the show.) |
Akito | “Hey, what was that just now!?” |
Touma | “Ehh? You mean skating?” |
|
Akito | “Skating…” |
Touma | “…You’re staring at my board. What’s up?” |
Akito | “I… I wanna skate too!” |
Touma | “!” |
| |
Raido | “That was my win just now.” |
Chiyuki | “No. It’s mine.” |
|
Akito | “Eh, they’re arguing!” |
Touma | “Those two again?” |
Akito | “This is bad. I gotta stop them!” |
| *runs off* |
Touma | “EH!? Oi, hold on!” |
| |
Izumi | (Next up is the scene where Kumon was supposed to land his ollie.) |
Touma | “GO…!” |
Akito | “…Tch!” |
| *jumps* |
Akito | “…!” |
Shion | “——…!” |
Touma | “WOOHOO!” |
Izumi | (The ollie scene is compensated well by the production arrangement we prepared.) |
| (It's a shame Kumon-kun couldn't actually perform the ollie. But we were able to create a production that satisfied the audience.) |
| |
Muku | What amazing applause…! |
Azuma | It’s not stopping. |
Tsumugi | That’s a relief… our first day was a huge success. |
|
Masumi | I don’t think it was bad. |
Homare | I am very pleased everyone enjoyed it. |
Omi | Both Taichi’s acting and skating were nothing to scoff at. |
Taichi | Hehe. Thanks! |
Muku | You were cool too, Kyu-chan! |
Kumon | … |
Muku | Kyu-chan? |
Kumon | Ah… yeah! Thanks! |
| I had a blast! |
| I’m thirsty since I went all out. |
| I’m gonna go get a drink! |
Taichi | … |
