The first match went to Rin, and the second to Mari. Both teams are tied at one win and one loss each!

The next contest will determine everything! It's your time to shine, Maki!

Huh? M-Me?!

Maki! We are entrusting you with all our hope. Please do what you can to tear the glory of victory from their clutches!

Um, no I… Can't we just leave it at a draw?

You cannot give up before you have even tried! It's okay, Maki. I know you can do it! I can picture you gliding gracefully across the ice rink!

H-Hey! Don't pressure me! If you want to battle it out that badly then why don't you or Mari have another go?!

I didn't come here to join in the skating competition! I said from the very beginning that I was only tagging along!

You are considered to have agreed to the competition from when you wrote your name down on the ladder.

Let it go, Maki. I mean, I don't want you to give up on the competition, but this is the water-faring vessel you have boarded! You cannot disembark until the contest is over!

Water-faring vessel?

She means a boat.

We've come this far, so let's decide this once and for all. Kasumi is all ready to go so… Wait, huh? Where's Kasumi?

Hm? Oh, there she is. Kasumin! Where are you going? That's the entrance. You'll end up leaving the rink if you go through there!

Gah. O-Oh, Rin! I knew that! I was juuuust a little thirsty, so I was heading over to the vending machine.

There's a vending machine right behind the bench. See? Right there.

Huh?! Oh, huh. Y-You're right.

It's almost time for your match so you should hurry up and get ready!

Hey, don't pull me like that! Gahhh! Stop strapping the skates to my feet! I can't give it everything I've got if someone puts skates on me.

I don't understand the nonsense you're spouting right now, but…you can't actually skate, can you?

Wha?!

You seemed pretty confident at the beginning, but your face stiffened up when you saw Mari's fancy moves in the figure skating contest.

A-A-A-As if! I'm cuter and more perfect than anybody else around! As if I can't skate! That's totally unthinkable!

Besides, you're the one who can't skate, not me! Isn't that right, Maki? You're not making any effort to skate at all.

Excuse me? What makes you say that? I just don't feel like skating, that's all.

Okay, okay! We'll know who can and can't skate once you're both on the rink!

Your skates are all nicely tied and ready, Kasumin!

Gahhhh! When did you manage to tie them on so tightly?!

Ah! Where are you going, Maki?! Now is the time for you to carve your elegant figure across the shining ice rink! Go on!

Eek! L-Let go of me!

All right! Let's get the third skating match going!
