Ice Skating Youth Ep. 4
Setsuna
The second match of the ice skating competition will be You versus Mari in a figure skating contest!
Maki
Can the both of you figure skate?
Mari
No problem! My passion is burning after watching Rin and Setsu's blazing battle! I feel like I can do anything right now!
You
I'll be fine! I've done some jumps and spins just from looking at how they do them in figure skating competitions before. I mean, in my head at least!
Rin
By the way, how are you gonna decide on the results? Are you gonna keep some kind of score?
Setsuna
As this is not an official figure skating competition, might I suggest the person who pulls off the most elements in three minutes be crowned the winner?
Kasumi
I can roll with that. Sounds pretty straightforward.
You
So that means I just have to whip out as many moves as possible, right?!
Mari
All right! I'll show off all of my skating skills!
Setsuna
Then with that settled, let us begin! I hereby announce the start of the figure skating contest!
Mari
Let's have fun skating! I'm not gonna hold back! Here I go!
Mari
My special move! The layback Mari-bauer!
Mari
*Chuckle* I haven't done that since I was a kid, but it looks like I've still got it!
Setsuna
S-She maintains a wide-legged stance and leans back with such energy, much like that famous element first unveiled at the Olympics!
Mari
I will be taking home the crown in this contest!
Kasumi
Eeeeeek! How does she skate in that position?! I'm trembling just watching her!
You
Not bad, Mari! But I'm not gonna lose here! Hup! Away I go!
Rin
Whoa! You's amazing! Look at her spin with one leg raised in the air! She looks like a pro figure skater!
You
I'm skating better than I thought! Since this is going so well, maybe I can pull off that, uh, t-triple axel thing I saw on TV. All right, I'm gonna give it a shot!
You
Three and a half spins, right? Here I go! Ready and… Hah!
Setsuna, Kasumi, Rin, Maki
!!
You
O-Oh wow, I d-did… ACK! Gahhh!
You
Owww… I messed up. *Laugh* Guess that's not something an amateur can just pull off on a whim.
You
I don't think I had enough spins, either. Maybe I got two in?
[Fade in/out.]
Setsuna
The element count stands at eight for Mari and six for You… Which means the winner of the second match is Mari!
Mari
Yay! Thank you! I am wonderful!
Maki
That was incredible. You just kept whipping out impressive moves after that big one. I don't know how to even describe your performance. It was dramatic and dynamic!
Mari
Figure skating is all about captivating the audience, right?
Rin
Are you okay, You? Did you land on your hips or knees when you fell?
Kasumi
Shouldn't you sit down? You shouldn't force yourself if you're hurt. I mean, it's not like I'm worried or anything! It'd just be a pain if you collapsed, that's all!
You
I'm fine, I'm fine! I braced myself for the fall so it was nothing. Thanks, though!
You
It's a shame I lost, but I had a lot of fun! I wanna pull off my jump next time…if there is a next time, that is!
