The winning team of the aqua course race is Aqours! Congrats!

Yay! Thanks a bunch.

Thank you, zura!

*Sob* We lost…our precious shaved ice!

I gave it everything I had, so I have no regrets. Congratulations, You and Hanamaru!

Honestly, I still can't believe that Hanamaru finished in first place. Never in a million years would I have picked her to win.

Hanamaru was in last place for the whole race, wasn't she? It must have been some miracle for her to finish ahead of everyone else.

I'm surprised myself, zura.

Hmm… I think it's 'cause she didn't fall when that wave rocked the whole course. Pretty sure Hanamaru was the only one standing afterward.

Oh, that makes sense. We were all gathered at the top of the slide, so we all got knocked off balance. Hanamaru, on the other hand…

She was trudging far behind us, so she managed to avoid the mayhem. What a dramatic turn of events, going from last to first.

I cannot believe something so ridiculous would turn all of us around like that…

Huh? What's this rocking everyone's talking about?

What? It was super wobbly right at that last slide! It was all like, WHOOSH! We all got knocked off course because of it.

Really? All I was thinking about was getting to the finish line and chowing down on shaved ice! I guess I wasn't paying attention to anything else around me, zura.

You're kidding me.

Mighty is the power of one's appetite.

In any case, a win is a win. Time to fetch the winning team their prize. Let's go get that super-loaded shaved ice.

Yay!

[Fade in/out.]

Time to eat!

*Munch* *Munch* Mmm! It's so delicious, zura!

The ice is so light and crunchy! My mouth is filled with sugary, fruity delights!

This is bliss, zura. This is pure joy in a bowl, zura!

You can say that again! I didn't know ice could be so soft. It melts away the second it hits your tongue!

Both of you look like you're really enjoying yourselves. It's almost as though I'm eating one myself!

There's only one order of shaved ice left, too. What a close shave.

Hmm…

How long are you gonna sulk for? They won fair and square. You shouldn't have any qualms.

But I do. This was an accidental victory caused by the rolling of the waves. It is not reflective of everybody's true abilities.

We should hold a rematch to find the true victors!

E-Excuse me? You want to race again?!

That's right! There's still one more order of shaved ice. Therefore, I hereby declare the second aqua course race for the last shaved ice!

A second race?! I'm in! I wanna go again!

They do say luck is a kind of skill as well… But it doesn't seem like Umi's in the mood to listen.

Wait, ugh! Would you all give it a rest already?!
