A Gnawing Feeling That We Have Met
Harveston - Raceway
Epel
Everyone, please stop your sleds! Say "Whoa"!
Idia, Jade & Sebek
"WHOA"!
Epel
All three of you stopped smoothly! You've improved so much in so little time!
You can accelerate and decelerate smoothly, and you're now able to turn corners without a hitch.
No one would believe that it's your first time plush sledding today! You're all amazing!
Jade
It is all thanks to your excellent tutelage, Epel.
Idia
Fuheehee… I-It's alright to keep the praises coming, you know. Yours truly is the type who improve from being complimented…!
Sebek
ME TOO!!
Epel
All of you have become such fine Mushers already.
Sebek
Mashers? What's that?
Jade
It is a type of equipment used to crush food like potatoes or hardboiled eggs…although, that doesn't sound like what we are currently discussing.
Epel
It refers to the people who partake in Plush Sledding!
Idia
Papparappapa!! Idia has obtained the "Musher" title!
Epel
…So! This seems like a good place to have a break.
Idia
I get carried away for one second and I'm forced back into reality in the next.
Sebek
I can still carry on and train! If we want to get better at anything, then we need to train tons, no other way to it!!
Epel
But if you train for too long, the fatigue will build up and you'll lose focus. That's how accidents happen.
In contrast, I feel that having sufficient rest allows your mind and body to refresh themselves, and make practice sessions much more efficient as a result.
Sebek
Ngh…but…it feels like we're wasting time.
I want to practice as much as time would allow.
Epel
You're really serious about this, huh, Sebek…
Here, we actually cherish our tea breaks very dearly.
We snack on desserts while drinking coffee or tea. It gives us time to enjoy conversations with our friends and family.
Jade
Allow yourself some time to experience Harveston's local customs, Sebek. After all, this is a rare opportunity to behold in the first place.
Sebek
…Okay, got it. I'll take a short break then.
Epel
There's an aid station up ahead, so I'll go and grab some drinks for us.
Grim
Fnagh? What's this aye-duh-whatchamacallit exactly?
Sebek
They are pitstops set up to provide food and drink during marathons or bicycle races, right?
Epel
Yeah. There are many teams that practise like us on the day before the race starts, so they have light bites prepared at the stations already.
Grim
Wahaha!! That's a pretty good service!!
Epel
Grandma will hand us food and drinks for our actual Kelkkarotu run tomorrow.
She'd promised to support us with all her strength, after all.
Jade
Indeed. I can already imagine the sight.
Epel
You can also fix up your plushies at the aid stations and receive updates about the race's situation, for instance.
Sebek
That'd be great!
Epel
Would it be alright if both Yuu and Grim help us out there too?
Grim
Sure! Leave it all to me!
Sebek
Oh? I was sure it would've been more in line with your character to refuse to do so because "it's a pain".
Grim
I mean, going to the aid-whatever means there'd be food and drinks, right?
Epel
That's true, but it's not all for you, alright!

Epel
We'll be counting on you. The state of the race can often change solely because of the exchanges made with the staff at the aid stations.
Sebek
You'll be inheriting a grave responsibility, Yuu.
Jade
I will be sure to give you good tips on how to effectively "assist" the other teams, then.
Epel
That sort of assistance would get Yuu chased out by the management staff, though…?!
Epel
I'll be right back, then! Please wait!
*Epel leaves*
Idia
…I vote that we keep our break going on forever.
Jade
An agreeable sentiment. Since we are already able to make it this far on our sleds, anymore practice is probably unnecessary.
Sebek
How pathetic… This much is nothing if I were serious!
Grim
Nice, nice. This should mean that you lot can win even without me joining.
Sebek
Don't make me laugh. We'd be in much more dire straits if you were on the team instead.
Grim
What did you just say?!
*BSSHH!!*
Sebek
Ow! What are you doing, Grim?!
Grim
Aw yeah, the snow hit Sebek! That'll show you!
Sebek
Hit by a mere monster… Don't you dare think I'm gonna let you get away with that snowball!!
*Smack!!*
Grim
Fnagh!!
Jade
Hehe… I see you are thoroughly enjoying the snowy mountain, Sebek.
*Smack!!*
Jade
Bwha?!
Grim
Wahahahaha! How's that, Jade?! It sure gives you the chills, doesn't it?!
Jade
…Now that my memory has been jogged, I have always wished to participate in a real snowball fight myself.
I presume you are absolutely prepared for what's to come, O' Grim.
*BASH!!*
Grim
FNAAAGGGHHH!!!

Grim
Wahahaha! Eat this, Yuu!
*Smack!!*
*BASH!!*
Grim
Fnagh! Oh, you've gone and done it now, Yuu!
Idia
Sigh… Lord save me… Running around during a break of all times is just so stupid…
Grim
I'm gonna strike Idia too!
*BASH!!*
Idia
Buhhee!
Grim
And another one for Sebek!
Sebek
Hmph! You may have gotten me by surprise just now, but now that I'm ready, you will not be getting even a single snowflake on me!
*Smack!!*
???
Wha-?!
Sebek
Oi! Didn't it just hit that small human up ahead?!
Jade
Did it hurt you by any chance? How horrible of them, committing such a terrible deed.
Idia
Sir Jade's treating us like strangers now…
???
Everyone, there's no need to worry about me, really.
???
What are you guys up to?! Are you trying to pick a snowball fight with us?!
???
Really?! Yaaaay! Sounds like fun!
*Smack!!*
Grim
Fnagh?!
???
It hit~! No hard feelings, alright~
???
Goodness! Hop, Gran! That was rude of you two!
Jade
…Does anyone else also have a gnawing feeling that we have met these young gentlemen before at some point?

Sebek
I feel like I've seen them before somewhere too.
Idia
Do you now? I don't really keep track of people's faces, so…
???
Hyaahhhh~! Being stared at that much is…really embarrassing…
Epel
Sorry to keep you all waiting! I brought back some tea and cinnamon rolls for all of us!
…Ah!! You guys are-?!
-from Royal Sword Academy!!!
Grim, Sebek, Idia & Jade
SAY WHAAAT??!! / WHAT?!
