Event Story – SNOW TRICK VACATION! ch.9

[kozvme]

Brad: ... It seems you've gotten used to handling the camera, huh.
It's admirable that you're working this eagerly, but we have some behind-the-scene shots already, there's no need to put so much effort into this.

Oscar: Apologies. It's just that we don't get to see you sliding every day, Brad-sama, so I wish I could make things work...
I didn't have any problems filming the rookies, and yet...

Brad: ... That reminds me, I haven't seen Akira since this morning.
 
Oscar: Will said he went location scouting for tomorrow's Christmas League.

Brad: ... Location scouting? Akira?

Oscar: So it seems.
There's a part of me that finds it unbelievable...
But Akira's the one who planned all of this... we must acknowledge he did a good job.

Brad: ... If you say so, then so be it.
You've been doing nothing but filming, how about you slide for a while, too?
That's how we'll execute mock battles during Christmas League. Exactly the reason why I think you should get accustomed to it.

 Oscar: You're right... I am the most inexperienced in winter sports.
And if I stand in the rookies' way, I'll lose face.

Brad: Stop putting pressure on yourself, just enjoy it.

Oscar: Yes sir. Thank you very much, Brad-sama.
... To be frank, I've always thought winter sports were irrelevant to me.
I don't think I would have enjoyed all this if it weren't for this opportunity.

Brad: You've also always been busy.

Oscar: Compared to you, Brad-sama... that is nothing.
A lot of things have happened and it hasn't even been half a year...
The rookies' admission... getting stranded on a desert island, Dino-san caming back...



Brad: ... Right. We had a lot on our plate, indeed.
And thinking about it, we didn't even have many opportunities to take our time and talk like we're doing. Let alone enjoy skiing.
I have Akira to thank for that. Occasionally getting snowed... isn't that bad.

Oscar: ... You know better than I do.

Brad: I was also curious about what he would do.
I guess it's because he claimed he'd take care of the Christmas League while on my little vacation. That andー

Akira: "You should trust us a little".

Brad: It sure hit a sore spot.
Even if this is the rookies' first training experience, I guess I better take the things pointed out at me seriously.

Oscar: ... I have also learned a lot from them.

 Brad: That being said, I don't get what those guys are up to... especially Akira. 
As mentors, it's our job to superintend and make decisions. Remember that, Oscar.

Oscar: ... Yes, sir!



Akira: ......

(I did investigate the warehouse, but...
As the old man said, it doesn't seem like this was someone's doing... Maybe it really was a beast?)
