Shigure
(Though I said that... Isn't this slide quite high...!?)

Nikako
Shigure-chan, think you can do it?

Shigure
Huh!?

Shigure
Oh...Nikako-senpai, you can go ahead~

Nikako
Eh?

Nikako
U-um! Then I'll do that!

Nikako
Here I go!

Nikako
-Yahoooo!!!!!

Iruru
She's sliding really well.

Daikoku
I've never seen someone slide down laughing like that except in pool commercials...

Iruru
Shall we go too? Shigure, if it really seems too much for you, it's okay to go back down.

Iruru
Right then, I'll go first~

Daikoku
I'll go too...

Shigure
Eh...!?

Daikoku
What is it?

Shigure
Nothing.

Daikoku
...If you're scared, why not just give up?

Shigure
Huh? Nobody said anything like that~

Daikoku
Fine...! Hmph.

Daikoku
My Lord, I'm going now.

Hatsumi
Sure.

Shigure
...!

Hatsumi
Are you nervous?

Shigure
Not really...!

Shigure
It's just that I don't often go on water slides...

Hatsumi
Fufu, I see.

Hatsumi
But once you slide, it's over in an instant, right?

Shigure
I know that. That's why I'm about to go...!

Hatsumi
Shigure. This is my personal theory-

Hatsumi
When tackling something you're not good at or something you fear, try to enjoy it as much as possible.

Hatsumi
That usually works out well. For tests, for performances, for anything.

Shigure
Haah...I suppose so. If I could be like you, Hatsumi-san, I wouldn't struggle so much.

Hatsumi
I'll be waiting at the bottom. I'll catch you, so come down without worry.

Shigure
...!

Shigure
~!

Shigure
Oh well...

Shigure
Whatever happens, happens-!

Shigure
-gasp!

Hatsumi
Shigure! Are you alright?

Shigure
...It really was over in an instant.

Daikoku
Well, you seem surprisingly fine... How disappointing...

Shigure
S-see? I told you! I was totally fine~

Iruru
Oh, did you enjoy it? Nikako wants to go again, want to join her~?

Shigure
Huh...!?

Nikako
But the queue's starting to build up. It might take some time.

Nikako
Shigure-chan, is once more okay...? After this I'll help you practice, I promise!

Daikoku
Then I want to slide again too...

Shigure
Geez...why don't you all just go and slide as much as you want. I suppose I'll have to agree~

Hatsumi
Then Shigure, you'll rest with me? I'm thirsty too.

Iruru
See you later~

Shigure
Mm~...!

Shigure
So cold~

Hatsumi
Is the cola float tasty?

Shigure
It's okay~

Shigure
Aren't you going, Hatsumi-san? Shigure would have been fine alone.

Hatsumi
No, I'm good. I was thinking of taking a break anyway.

Shigure
Haah, Shigure is exhausted now. In the end, I still can't swim 25 metres~

Hatsumi
Well, what happens, happens. Sometimes it's important to leave things to fate.

Shigure
Is that really okay...? If I end up in supplementary classes, my rehearsal time will decrease~

Hatsumi
You did make an effort, didn't you?

Shigure
Ugh...

Shigure
Well, I can swim 20 metres now.

Hatsumi
Oh, you've done well then. So all that's left is to pray.

Shigure
I wonder if that's enough...

Shigure
...Hm?

Hatsumi
What is it?

Shigure
Nothing...just that kid who was bothering us earlier. She's still swimming alone.

Hatsumi
Did she come alone? Such a small child.

Shigure
She said she came with her brother. But I guess she got left behind.

Shigure
I hope nothing bad happens...

Hatsumi
...

Hatsumi
But a child alone is concerning. Should we take her to the lost children centre?

Shigure
It's not really our business~ The problem is that her guardian isn't watching her properly.

Hatsumi
...

Shigure
...Hatsumi-san? What is it, you're spacing out.

Hatsumi
Ah, no. Sorry, I was just thinking about something.

Nikako
We're back~!

Iruru
Sorry to keep you waiting.

Iruru
Hm? Did something happen between you two?

Daikoku
Were you having a serious conversation...?

Shigure
Not really~ It's just that the kid from earlier is still playing alone...

Nikako
That little girl?

Nikako
...Ah, it's true. That pool over there is for adults, so she stands out.

Iruru
That one should be quite deep... I wonder if she's okay?

Shigure
Eh...!? Does that mean she didn't see the warning sign?

Daikoku
Looks like there's no lifeguard around right now either...

Hatsumi
It could be dangerous if something happens. I'll go and stop her.

Shigure
I-I'll come too!
