Ice Skating Youth Ep. 3

Mari

The first contest is a race between Rin and Setsu! Give it your all, you two!

Rin

Okay!

Setsuna

I will do my best!

Kasumi

Why is Setsuna up against Rin? This was supposed to be a battle between Setsuna and me!

You

Well, that's just how the ladder works.

Setsuna

Kasumi, I promise that our duel will be settled before this is over, so please allow me to focus on this battle for now!

Kasumi

Whoa, you're totally in the zone now. Okay, but don't you forget it!

Mari

The first person to do a whole lap around the rink and make it back here is the winner. Okay?

Rin

Yup! I'm gonna skate my heart out!

Mari

That's the spirit! Perhaps we should hear a few words about how you feel going into this, Rin. Do you mind?

Rin

A-A few words?! Wh-Whoa! Like a real athlete?! U-Um, I haven't really skated much on ice before, so I'm a little nervous…

Rin

But I love races! So whether it be on land or on ice, no one's gonna catch me with how fast I go! Please cheer me on!

Mari

Thank you, Rin! Next up, Setsu! A few words, please.

Setsuna

Right! I have prepared myself perfectly in the lead up to today, and have left no stone unturned. I am focused on the glory at the finish line! Victory will be mine!

Mari

Ooh, I can see the passionate fire burning in your eyes, Setsu. That's the passion I'd expect of someone who urged us to melt the very rink itself!

Mari

Now that we know how you both feel leading up to the race, let's begin!

You

You can do it, Rin!

Maki

I'm cheering for you, Setsuna. Good luck!

Setsuna, Rin

Setsuna: Thank you! Rin: Will do!

[Fade in/out.]

Mari

Are you both primed and ready? We're about to get started!

Mari

Ready… Go!

Setsuna, Rin

Setsuna: Hah! Rin: Mya!

Kasumi

Whoa, th-they're both really fast! They've raced on ahead in a flash!

Setsuna

I cannot record a loss from my very first match! As such, I will be skating at full speed from start to finish!

Rin

You're incredible, Setsuna! But I'm not gonna go down without a fight either! Here I gooooo!

Setsuna

Huh?! R-Rin! What is this immense acceleration?! Argh! I can push further still!

Rin

Ahahahaha! Whee! I'm having so much fun!

Rin

This is totally different from racing on land! Each step sends me gliding right off! The cold wind feels so good!

Rin

I feel like I could go anywhere like this!

Setsuna

Rin has such a bright smile on her face! It sparkles with radiant beauty, just like the protagonist of the anime when she first skated across the ice!

[Fade in/out.]

Mari

The winner of the race is… Rin Hoshizora of Otonokizaka!

Rin

Thank you very much!

You

Yay! You won, Rin!

Kasumi

Oh my gosh, that was so amaz… I-I mean, I guess that wasn't a bad performance.

Maki

You were so close. I thought you were gonna win for sure.

Setsuna

I did not think for a moment that I would lose. It is an incredible shame that I have lost. I am sorry.

Setsuna

However, I do not have any regrets, as I saw something right before my eyes that shined brighter than any gold medal ever could.
