These must be the main grounds! We might get lost in this huge crowd if we're not careful.

Shizuku, no more fidgeting. Make sure you keep up.

Um… Do I really look okay in the swimsuit you picked out for me?

It suits you. I promise.

Is that the aqua course? It really does float, huh? And there's a slide and a jungle gym and all sorts of stuff! All right, I'm gonna play like I've never played before!

Wait! It's not safe to get into the water without warming up first. Let's start with some stretches.

Hm? What are you looking at, Hanamaru?

Girls… I've found something awesome, zura.

What, this beach hut? It looks pretty normal to… Oh, you mean this?

Uh-huh! The super-loaded shaved ice prepared specially for today's event! And there are only ten servings available! We just HAVE to try one, zura!

Super-loaded shaved ice… They sound absolutely delectable!

Oh, there's someone with one now. My goodness, look at it shimmer. It's like a gemstone.

Today only? Ten servings? So that means there's only nine left! Yeah, we'll totally be missing out if we don't try any.

Special, limited…super-loaded shaved ice…!

So, what is it? Are we gonna eat before taking on the aqua course? I don't mind either way.

I say let's chow down, zura!

I'll have one too. Who knows when we'll get a chance like this again?

I would also like to have a taste of this masterpiece shaved ice.

W-Wait! You'll chill your core if you eat shaved ice before swimming! Um… Tea! How about we have some hot tea instead?!

Aww, what? Tea?

Yes! Not to mention, if we all order one each, we'd be hoarding six whole servings out of ten! No, out of nine!

I believe it is very unbecoming of school idols, who should be forever showing gratitude for our fans' support, to be hoarding so much shaved ice!

I fail to see the correlation.

Hmm, I understand where Umi is coming from. We don't know exactly how many servings are left. We might even end up clearing them out with our order.

Oh, right… That wouldn't be fair to the other customers, huh…

Yeah. I guess we shouldn't hoard it for ourselves, zura.

All right… Unfortunate though it may be, let us trade shaved ice for tea instead…

Huh? Oh, but, um… Excessive denial of your cravings is not great for one's mental health either, so if you absolutely must eat it, then that choice still remains!

Make up your mind!

So we can have some, zura?!

However! As previously mentioned, we cannot buy out the remaining shaved ice. Let's decide who gets to eat it through an aqua course competition!

Since there are exactly six of us, we'll split into three teams, μ's, Aqours, and Nijigasaki. The first team to complete the whole obstacle course gets the shaved ice.

I see. That way we're doing the aqua course first and getting by with only two orders of shaved ice. How fun is that? We'll get to work for our reward.

The faster we finish the course, the higher our odds of being able to order a couple of those limited shaved ice.

Right! I wanted to jump right into the aqua course myself, so I'm all for Umi's suggestion!

I'll do anything for shaved ice, zura! I'll triumph in the name of tasty treats, zura!

*Sigh* Yeah, all right. If that's what we're doing then.

Then that settles it. I hereby officially announce the start of the aqua course race for the super-loaded shaved ice!
