How's it going, Kohane? Find anything good?

Character icon
Kohane

*Nod*

I'm trying to decide which to choose. I didn't realize they made so many different kinds of ski gloves.

4
Character icon
Toya

Yes. There are three-fingered gloves and mittens... But you may want to buy a pair of five-fingered gloves, since our plan is to become better skiers this time.

5
Character icon
Akito

Yeah, and they also might be easier to wear since they're the most like normal gloves.

6
Character icon
Kohane

Then, I'll get a pair of those.

As for what color—

<Hello, everyone. How's your shopping coming along?>

8
Character icon
An

Hi, Luka! Oh, you're all here!

9
Character icon
Len

<Because we heard that you guys are gonna go skiing again. And we had to come since it's always fun to go shopping!>

10
Character icon
Toya

Yes, I see.

We were just shopping for gloves.

11
Character icon
KAITO

<Oh, I didn't realize that ski gloves came in such a huge variety.>

12
Character icon
Rin

<Yeah, wow! Look at all the different types and colors. And the designs for some of these are so cute. I wouldn't know which to choose!>

13
Character icon
An

Haha. Kohane said the exact same thing!

14
Character icon
KAITO

<Still, another skiing trip...

You all did seem to have quite a lot of fun the last time you went!>

15
Character icon
Akito

Yeah, we did.

But Toya really took us by surprise when he said he wanted to go again.

16
Character icon
Luka

<Wait, Toya, this was your idea?

I was under the impression that it was An or Akito's.>

17
Character icon
Toya

Yes, since I learned to ski on my own last time, albeit very briefly. That's why I'd like to go again.

18
Character icon
Toya

Also, the snowball fight we had was very fun.

19
Character icon
Toya

Unfortunately, I'm still not sure if I'll be able to ride the ski lift...

20
Character icon
Akito

You don't have to if you don't want to, dude.

21
Character icon
Kohane

Hehe. We can walk up the slope again together.

22
Character icon
Kohane

I'm actually also really excited about this trip...!

23
Character icon
An

Because skiing isn't the only thing Kohane's looking forward to.

24
Character icon
KAITO

<Wait, what's she talking about?!>

25
Character icon
Kohane

Hehe. I am looking forward to skiing, but during this trip...

26
Character icon
Kohane

They're gonna do a show on the slopes!

27
Character icon
Len

<What?! A show?!>

28
Character icon
Kohane

Yes, the ski resort we're visiting is going to be putting on a Christmas show.

29
Character icon
Kohane

Not only that, some of the cast members from Phoenix Wonderland are going to be performing!

30
Character icon
Rin

<Phoenix Wonderland?

As in your favorite amusement park?>

31
Character icon
Luka

<I see. That certainly explains why you're so excited!>

32
Character icon
Kohane

Yes, and everyone from Wonderlands×Showtime is also going to be performing!

33
Character icon
Rin

<Wonderlands×Showtime...?

Oh, isn't that the troupe you're always telling us about?!>

34
Character icon
Kohane

Yeah, I've been a huge fan ever since I first saw them perform!

35
Character icon
Kohane

They're always putting on these really spectacular shows that put a big smile on my face!

36
Character icon
Kohane

Not only that, the show at the ski resort is even being directed by their director, Kamishiro...!

37
Character icon
Kohane

Which is why I can't wait...!

38
Character icon
Len

<Whoa, I can tell...!>

39
Character icon
An

Haha. Lately, she's been getting super excited every time we start talking about this show!

40
Character icon
KAITO

<I see. Then, when you all go, you'll get to enjoy both skiing and this show!>

41
Character icon
Akito

To be honest, I'm also kinda wondering exactly what kind of show they're gonna put on at a ski resort.

42
Character icon
Toya

Indeed. This is Tsukasa's troupe we're talking about here. I'm sure that whatever they do is going to be spectacular.

43
Character icon
Luka

<Oh, if you're all willing to say that, then I'd like to see it as well...!>

44
Character icon
Luka

<Would it be possible for me to come watch? It sounds like a lot of fun!>

45
Character icon
Kohane

Of course!

Let's all watch it together!

46
Character icon
Kohane

Hehe. Now I really can't wait for Christmas to come...

47
Character icon
Toya

Me neither.

However, the weather forecast for the day before we go said to expect heavy snow until around noon, which is slightly concerning...

48
Character icon
Kohane

Wait, really?

49
Character icon
Akito

But it should be fine as long as it's sunny the day we go, right? And we'll have plenty of powder too.

50
Character icon
An

Right. We won't have any problems as long as we get to go skiing and see that show!

51
Character icon
Kohane

Oh... That's true.

52
Character icon
Akito

More importantly, have you picked which gloves you're gonna get?

53
Character icon
Kohane

*Gasp*

N-No, not yet...!

54
Character icon
Kohane

I'll try to choose quickly since we still have a lot of shopping left to do.

55
Character icon
An

I'll help you!

Let's find you the best pair we can, Kohane!

56
Character icon
Kohane

Thanks, An.

Let's see... Which color should I get these in...?
