...
...!
(He's definitely still got it...
However...!)
It's go time...!
What the...?!
Whoa! That was close...!
Anyway... Woohoo! I won!
Geez... You wanted to win so badly that you almost couldn't stop.
I went up a gear because I had a feeling that I could! And I stopped in time, didn't I?
An, Shinonome, welcome back!
Hey!
How's skiing going? Are you having fun?
Yeah, we just managed to get down the top of the bunny slopes together.
Hm? Did you guys use the chairlift?
No, we walked...
We've both figured out how to actually ski, but I still don't feel great about going on the chairlift...
Right.
But at least the skiing's fun, right?
Yes, it is.
Then, why don't we all go down something together to finish? I wanna see how much you two have improved.
Yeah, let's go!
Okay.
Sure.
Man, snowboarding was so much fun.
Not only that, Kohane, Toya, you two have improved so much since you started practicing!
Hehe. That's because you guys were great teachers.
I agree. I never imagined that I'd learn to ski this well.
That's good to hear.
Anyway, what are we gonna do after this?
Well, Dad's supposed to come pick us up, but he might not be here for a while.
And we already returned all the stuff we rented, so wanna just keep hanging out?
Hang out...? What's there to do...?
I suppose we could have a snowball fight since we normally don't get such an opportunity to.
Yeah, let's do that!
Wanna split into teams of two?
Okay.
But who's gonna be with who?
Hmm...
Snowball fights aren't exactly your strong suit, right, Kohane?
Y-Yeah... I can dodge snowballs just fine, but throwing them is a separate issue...
You should be fine as long as you can dodge them. So, we can start with us teaming up.
Hey, I wanted her on my team.
But I guess that makes things more balanced.
So, Toya, let's do our best to completely cover Akito in snow!
Yes, let's.
Wait, why just me?
Um... I promise to do my best, Shinonome!
Alright, don't go easy on An.
She'll be in tears once we're done with her.
What?! I-I'm not sure I want to go that far...
By the way, how do we decide who wins? I don't really know the rules for this...
Well, we have teams of two...
So, let's just make it something simple. How about if you get hit five times, you're out?
Yeah, that sounds good!
Is that okay with you two?
Yes, let's go with that.
Yeah!
Hehe. This is going to be so much fun...
Then, let's get started...
No, let's practice first and give ourselves time to come up with a plan.
Huh? I get strategizing. But practice...?
(Actually, we probably should if we want Toya to get the most out of this experience...!)
Okay! Let's take some time to practice. Also, to make snowballs!
Alright.
Then, let's start brainstorming.
Okay! We aren't going easy on you guys, An!
Hehe. Neither are we!
Right, Toya?
Right. Let's start planning.
Okay!
