Part 2: Let’s Do It Together
Chisa: Like this.
Chisa: Huff… Yeah. It feels great.
Panda: Hey, Sassu!
Chisa: Panda? Why are you here? Did you also awaken your inner skateboarder?
Panda: I highly doubt it exists. I was just passing by and thought I saw someone like you, so I came to take a look.
Chisa: I see.
Panda: Say, is skating really this fun?
Chisa: Yeah. Wanna try?
Panda: Panda… won’t bother. There’s no way she’ll be able to skate like a pro or do any tricks.
Chisa: You don’t need to be good at it. I think it’s fun to just cruise around and feel the wind.
Panda: …
Chisa: Once you’ve experienced it, you’ll never be able to live without it.
Panda: Haha, what’s up with that?
Chisa: Look, why not give it a try? I’ll lend you a helmet, so that you won’t get hurt if you fall.
Panda: Now youʼre being pushy? Alright, but just this once.
Chisa: Hehe, yay!
Panda: Wa-wa-wa-wait! Donʼt let go of my hand! Iʼll surely fall, if you do!!!
Chisa: No worries, you’ll be fine. Three, two, one…
Panda: Waaaa…!! Huh?
Panda: Woah... I can actually stand on the board…
Chisa: See, just like I said. It’s all fine.
Panda: What a dubious way to teach…
Chisa: But you pulled it off. Well done, Panda.
Panda: Well, thanks. But how anyone can ride or jump on these is beyond me.
Chisa: Itʼs no big deal. Just keep your upper body composed, be mindful of your center of gravity, and you’ll manage in no time.
Panda: That’s so vague, I don’t get it at all…
Chisa: Weʼll go step by step, so trust your coach.
Panda: A coach that suddenly lets go of you doesn’t seem very trustworthy.
Skateboarder: Hey, donʼt you think youʼre in the way?
Panda: Ah, sorry…
Skateboarder: Noobs barely standing on the board should go someplace else.
Panda: …
Chisa: Excuse us. Weʼve been practicing.
Chisa: Panda, itʼs getting crowded here, we should probably head home.
Panda: ...Yeah, let’s go.
Chisa: Sorry. That wouldnʼt have happened if I didnʼt talk you into trying it.
Panda: You shouldnʼt worry about that, Sassu. Sometimes you just run into this kind of people.
Chisa: Yeah. But not all skateboarders are like that.
Panda: Of course, I know.
Panda: Huh, someone’s calling. Itʼs Hiiragi-san?
Chisa: Boss? I wonder whatʼs up.
Panda: Yes, hello. Thanks for calling. No, it’s fine, I can talk now.
Panda: Yes, Sassuʼs here too. I see, got it.
Panda: Huh?! For real?!
Chisa: ?
Panda: Sure, Iʼll tell her. Have a good evening.
Chisa: What was it about? Did something come up?
Panda: Yeah, a magazine requested an interview with us!
Chisa: Wow, really?
