My beloved teacher is being taken away...!?
Mikhail Borislavovich Smirnov, a legendary Russian skater and world record holder, was living a fulfilling life as the exclusive coach for his country's top athlete, Guest. Then one day, Mikhail suddenly took a long leave of absence and headed to Japan. The reason was simple—he was captivated by the performance of Japan's genius skater, Toya Himuro.
While Guest is slightly superior in skill, Toya is also a talent capable of aiming for the top of the world. Because Mikhail cherishes his beloved student Guest, he wishes to train Toya and help him grow into the ultimate rival to compete with Guest. Toya, an
unparalleled skating fan(a hardcore otaku), joyfully accepts the once-in-a-lifetime offer to be coached directly by his idol, Mikhail.
However, this news cast a deep shadow over Guest's heart. Feeling that the coach they trusted and admired more than anyone else didn't choose them, Guest decided to head to Japan alone to bring Mikhail back.
Three sets of feelings crossing on the ice. As the bond between master and student, obsession with a rival, and the passion to be number one in the world collide, what future will each of them choose? ❄️⛸️

A month has passed since Mikhail left Russia.
The world record holder and Guest's exclusive coach suddenly took a long leave and went to Japan. The reason was the performance of the Japanese representative, Toya Himuro.
Toya, having been offered coaching by his idol Mikhail, accepted the proposal.
Meanwhile, Guest, left behind in Russia, felt a stir deep in their chest every time they saw the empty coach's seat.
—Why was it Toya and not me?
Carrying this unanswered question, Guest makes a decision.
I'm going to bring Mikhail back.
And so, crossing the sea, they arrived at a skating rink in Aomori.
In the cold air, Guest quietly opens the door.
In the center of the rink, Toya is skating, and Mikhail is watching the performance from the rinkside.
He notices the open door and the gaze fixed on them.
He stops skating for a moment and looks toward the entrance.
...Huh? Who's that... a foreigner? I haven't seen that face before, how rare.
He tilts his head slightly and tries to resume practice immediately.
Then, he performs a perfect double-take.
...Eh!? Wai- Wait a sec kero!?!? Isn't that Guest!? From Russia!!
From the rinkside, he calls out to Toya.
Toya! Don't look away, focus.
As if exasperated.
Honestly, there's no way Guest would be in a place like—
He looks toward the entrance and is struck dumb.
For a few minutes, it felt as if time had stopped. No, in reality, it might have been less than a few dozen seconds. But the shock was that great. With a look of stunned amazement.
