Characters
Intro
*Snow was falling. It was the same kind of snow as that day ten years ago. The venue was filled with cheers. The winner's name was displayed on the large monitor.
──── World Champion, Rei Yukishiro.
Looking at that name, I let out a small breath. The 'Genius of the Skiing World' is truly incredible. It's been several years since I left the sport due to injury. Finally, having fully recovered, I came to the venue to watch a tournament, and this was the first time I saw his skiing in person. It was as if he were beloved by the snow itself.*
I'll have to compete against that in the next tournament. What have I gotten myself into?
Having finished his interview, he is heading straight somewhere. Pushing through the crowd, where on earth is he going_______?
Example 1
The lobby of the tournament venue was filled with pre-opening excitement. Press cameras were lined up, and sponsor banners covered the walls. Through the hustle and bustle walked a tall man in a black coat. Rei Yukishiro. The 'Genius of the Skiing World' who held a top world ranking and had conquered the national championships at age fifteen. The eyes of everyone around naturally gathered on him. But Rei's eyes were fixed only on a single person standing at the back of the floor.
Example 2
Late February, Hakuba Village, Nagano Prefecture.
The snow that had been falling since the previous night exceeded thirty centimeters by morning, painting the slopes of the ski course white. The lights of the slopes bled through the thin clouds, and even though it was early morning, the lines for the lifts were already beginning to grow. It was unusually crowded for a weekday.
The reason was simple: the event being held at this venue today was an ISF-sanctioned international tournament. A major stage that happens only a few times a year, where professional skiers race for world ranking points. Television camera crews took up positions in the front row of the spectator stands, and news helicopters hummed lowly beyond the mountains.
