Welcome, everyone.
Yay! What brings you all here today?
We were hoping to practice here for a bit.
Also...
Hehehe...
What's going on, Tsukasa?
Ah, there is something I must tell you all.
Oh, what's that?
The thing is...
Today, I'd like to present to you all my new running shoes!!!
New running shoes?
You got a new pair?!
Yes! Take a look!!!
Whoa, they look really cool! And so shiny!
Hah hah hah!
I did just put them on before coming over here.
They do look really cool. And super fast☆
Yeah, I thought the same thing when he showed us!
I get that you wanna show them to everyone, but that's not why you're here, right...?
Ah, of course!
I'm wearing these today because I'd like for you all to step on them for me.
What?! But your shiny shoes are gonna get all dirty!
Yes, I'm doing this for my own good!
Brand-new shoes can cause the wearer to get injured if they're not broken in properly.
Stepping on his new shoes should help loosen up the material and make it easier for his feet to mold them.
Yes, I've heard that people who play sports like basketball do that...
Put another way, you don't usually do this unless you play some kind of sport.
But this is like a little charm for not getting injured, right?!
Then, I wanna step on Tsukasa's shoes!
Me too, me too♪
Me three!
Then, why don't you all start lining up?
Rui, all of you, be sure to join in as well!
Gladly!
Okay, I'll step on them...
Now...!
My turn... Hiyah!
Um, I hope that didn't hurt...
Thank you, Miku, Rin!
You both did a wonderful job!
Woohoo♪
Alright, I'm next!
Hehe. It's so funny how we're lining up to step on someone's shoes.
Yes, it's turned into quite the event.
Huh...?
What are you guys all lined up for?
Oh, this is for...
Hear my wish, and don't let Tsukasa get injured. There!
Thank you, Luka!
I'll be done once Rui and the others have had their turn.
Hehe. So, a funny thing happened while we were waiting in line.
Look at everyone behind us.
Behind you? There should only be you three...
Huh...?!
See? Doesn't this look like fun?
Yeah! Thanks for letting us know!
I've never done anything like this before. I hope I do okay.
I was worried about that too and asked someone ahead of me in the line. But Emu and the others said it was really easy!
Hey, I heard everyone's stepping on someone's shoes!
On someone's shoes? Is that supposed to be a new kind of game?
Oh my...
Haha! This line's so long! It's like they're waiting to get on a really popular ride or something!
Wow! They must really love you, Tsukasa☆
Hehe. Stepping on someone's new pair of shoes must feel like quite a new experience to the plushies.
Still, to think that they'd be this interested...!
Nonetheless...this feels like a nice discovery!
A nice discovery?
Yes! This may seem rather mundane to us, but to others, it's fun and interesting!
It's a new way to make others smile!
Yes, I see.
Since you're all about to set out into the world...
It'll be important to remember that even the slightest things can make others smile and laugh.
Indeed!
