Tsuzuri:
…It's almost Saya's turn to perform…
Kaho:
Oh, I found her! Tsuzuri-senpaaai!
Tsuzuri:
Kaho?
Kozue:
Good afternoon, Tsuzuri. I thought it would be best if all of us came to support Murano-san.
Tsuzuri:
…Huh? But you were supposed to be performing today…
Kozue:
Did you forget? Today's performance was for an online event. The livestream was only until 5 PM.
Tsuzuri:
Oh… right.
Kozue:
…It's unfortunate that Murano-san was unable to make it, but we can record something later.
Tsuzuri:
Okay.
Kaho:
Um… About Sayaka-chan…
Tsuzuri:
…She's starting now.
Kaho:
Wow! There are so many people here cheering for Sayaka-chan!
Kaho:
Oh, there she is! Sayaka-chaaaan! Good luck!
Tsuzuri:
…Saya.
Sayaka:
…Phew…
Kozue:
I'm glad we came to watch her. That performance was truly breathtaking.
Kaho:
Wow, that was sooo cool! Sayaka-chaaan!
Kozue:
Alright. Shall we return to the dorms?
Kaho:
Oh, it's this late already!?
Kaho:
But I'm really glad we came to see Sayaka-chan perform! …What did you think of it, Tsuzuri-senpai!?
Tsuzuri:
I thought it was really beautiful.
Kaho:
R-Right!? Uh…
Kozue:
…Excuse me, Tsuzuri?
Tsuzuri:
Yeah?
Kozue:
You've always told me how proud you are of Murano-san's school idol performances. You say she has a sky blue brilliance, right?
Tsuzuri:
…
Kozue:
If the experience she had from figure skating was what allowed her to shine so brightly as a school idol…
Then this figure skating performance could–
Kaho:
Kozue-senpai, Kozue-senpai!
Kozue:
Huh…? What's going on? A power outage…?
Kaho:
I'm not sure, but… it looks like something's happening!
Sayaka:
Ah, ah… testing, testing… Thank you to everyone here for coming to watch our performance!
My sister and I are extremely happy that you are here today!
Sayaka:
Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to be here. I know you all have gladly lent me your support, but I must make one more request.
If I could have just a little more of your time, I would like to say a few words.
Kozue:
…A request? What could Murano-san be asking?
Sayaka:
I am very proud of my older sister, and I was always happy to be with her.
However, because of that, when she could no longer stand to be in the rink, I thought that I would work hard for her sake as well. Truth be told, it has been quite difficult.
Sayaka:
For over a year, I could not produce the results I wanted. I didn't know what I was doing wrong and what I should have been doing.
It was pathetic, that even though I had said I would work hard for her, I couldn't even look her in the eye.
Sayaka:
But… I finally changed, because I met a wonderful person.
I have finally truly become a figure skater worthy of proudly introducing herself as Murano Tsukasa's younger sister… all because of you.
Sayaka:
From the day I met you, I started thinking that I should continue to do my best. I'm only here because of what you've taught me.
But…
Sayaka:
…What did you mean when you said I should be more selfish?
Is it not possible for me to continue being a figure skater? Is the selfishness you expect of me quitting being a school idol?
Sayaka:
I enjoy being a figure skater, but I also enjoy being a school idol! Without you next to me, I can't even understand which selfishness I should pursue!
Tsuzuri:
Saya, what are you…?
Sayaka:
I can only stand here because of you, and in telling me to be selfish, you've deserted me in this place!
Tsuzuri:
No, I…
Sayaka:
If you really believe I'm wrong, then come here! Come here! And perform! With me!
Please, let's perform together at the school idol event!
–Yugiri Tsuzuri!!
Kozue:
Won't you go?
Kaho:
I'll see you later!
Tsuzuri:
…Yeah. I'm going.
Sayaka:
Ah…You're really here…
Tsuzuri:
So you thought I might not be here, huh…
Tsuzuri:
…I'm sorry, Saya. I didn't mean to desert you. I just… wanted to see your brilliance.
To me, you shine the brightest, so… I didn't want to snuff it out. That's really all I wanted.
Sayaka:
Ah…
Sayaka:
…I saved you a special seat.
Tsuzuri:
…Is it okay for me to sit next to you?
Sayaka:
There's no other seat for you.
Tsuzuri:
…Hey, Saya.
Sayaka:
Yes?
Tsuzuri:
I thought that sky-blue brilliance you had… was something you only had here in this rink.
Sayaka:
…
Tsuzuri:
But that wasn't all.
Before I even noticed it, the brilliance we had together as school idols was reflected in your figure skating, wasn't it?
Sayaka:
Ah… Yes!
Tsuzuri:
Then let me hear your selfishness.
Sayaka:
…I won't quit being a figure skater… or a school idol. Here and now, we'll have an ice show… together.
Tsuzuri:
Alright. This is my first time in an ice rink, so it might be strange…
But now, I think–
Sayaka:
–You can do something amazing, right?
Sayaka:
Thank you very much, everyone! I plan to do my best, both as a figure skater and as a school idol, and become an amazing person, so…
Please keep your schedules free for my upcoming events and competitions!
Tsuzuri:
…Wow, so selfish.
Sayaka:
But wasn't it you who told me I should be more selfish?
Tsuzuri:
…Speaking of being selfish…
Sayaka:
Yes?
Tsuzuri:
Just like earlier… Well, I guess it wasn't the same earlier…
You can just call me Tsuzuri.
Sayaka:
Earlier…
Sayaka:
Ah…!
Sayaka:
W-Wait, you mean…! When I told you to come over here!?
Tsuzuri:
You don't have to keep calling me by my last name.
Sayaka:
But… no, it's just…
Tsuzuri:
You can't do it?
Sayaka:
…O-Okay, fine! It's still a little embarrassing, but… Tsuzuri-senpai…
Tsuzuri:
Do you need to say the "-senpai" part?
Sayaka:
Of course I do!
Tsuzuri:
Heh… Really.
Sayaka:
Yes.
Sayaka:
Hehe…
Tsukasa:
…That was really good~
Sayaka:
Sis!?
Tsuzuri:
Sis.
Tsukasa:
Yo, it's your sister~.
Sayaka:
Don't take what Yu– what Tsuzuri-senpai called you seriously…
Tsukasa:
You two were really amazing out there. Heh… I feel even more energized now.
Tsuzuri:
Thanks. I've seen your videos too.
Tsukasa:
Oh, those old things? That's a little embarrassing, ahaha…
Sayaka:
This isn't how people who just met usually talk to each other…
Tsukasa:
Anyway!
Tsukasa:
Thanks for the performance! It was really nice.
…I don't know if I should be saying this, but… Seeing you kinda makes me want to give skating another try!
Sayaka:
Huh…? But…
Tsukasa:
After going through all that physical therapy… I thought I'd give ice dancing a try. Seeing you two today, I figure it might be a really good idea!
Sayaka:
Sis…! Okay! I'll be rooting for you!
Tsuzuri:
Ice dancing is usually done in pairs, right?
Tsukasa:
Yeah! So that's why… I thought I really wanted to be someone who could compete against you two.
Tsuzuri:
Huh.
Tsuzuri:
Looks like we'll have to work hard too, then.
Sayaka:
I agree. I want to do my best, so I hope you will too, okay?
Tsuzuri:
Yeah.
Tsukasa:
Hehe… You really did meet a wonderful girl, Sayaka.
Sayaka:
Yeah.
Tsukasa:
Alright, I'm gonna go tell everyone then! I'm gonna work hard and stage a comeback!
I'll become an amazing ice dancer… and make a performance so bright it'll outshine you!
Tsuzuri:
Whoa…
Sayaka:
You move quickly…
Tsukasa:
Oh, right!
Sayaka:
Hm?
Tsukasa:
I also want to support you two. Could you tell me what your subunit is called?
Tsuzuri:
Our name is–
Sayaka & Tsuzuri:
DOLLCHESTRA!
