Chapter 38: Snowscrape

"Oh, would you look at the time... It's our turn to rent out the snowboarding equipment." Darryl gets up in a hurry as I chuckle to myself. He's trying to act like nothing happened, huh? Well...

"Wait up for me!" I rushed after him as he practically sprinted to the rental booth.

"And that's how you do it. Shall we give it a try?" Darryl asks as he pivots toward me, his board doing little to hinder his movements. You'd think such a bulky object would be a problem but he moves like it's an extension of his limbs. Amazing, I'd have thought he was the professional, had the posters and banners not been hung everywhere on the way here.
