Phew. That was a good practice session!

Hey, Lanzhu, how do you always pick up the choreography so quickly?

Because I had a great example to watch and learn from at the start. That helps me memorize the whole routine!

It's amazing that you picked everything up from just watching!

The rest of us have to take it slowly and steadily.

I'd love to learn the choreography from you, Lanzhu.

I'm always happy to give you pointers! Feel free to ask me anything!

Great! Will do!

That reminds me. Kanata, are you sure you can handle all of the costumes by yourself?

You bet!

What do you think, Ruby? Can I make the costumes this time?

Absolutely! I'd love to wear a costume made by you! Your designs incorporate ideas that I'd never be able to come up with myself.

So I'll leave it to you!

That settles it! Hearing you so excited about my work makes me feel even more inspired!

So what sort of costume are you going to make, anyway? Tell me, Kanata!

*Giggle* That's a secret. You'll just have to wait and see.

Then it sounds like the job is all yours, Kanata. Yoshiko and Setsuna, are you two all right with that?

And then the magician tries to use this super powerful spell that she can only ever use once in her life!

And the spell only works if she and her rival work together, right? You mentioned the pose they make earlier…

Right. I lift my right arm…

And I lift my left arm…

Girls, did you even hear me?!

O-Oh no, I'm sorry!

*Sigh*

So this anime you're both obsessed with involves rival witches, does it?

They're not witches! They're magicians! They start off hating one another, but they grow to be friends as they compete with one another!

That sounds like a lovely story. I wonder what would happen if you two were to compete in a similar fashion.

Huh? What are you suggesting?

You will both train separately. Then, on the day of the event, you will compete and show off how much you've improved… Yes, just like the rivals in your story!

We can be like those magicians… Sure, that sounds like fun! Let's do it, Setsuna!

All right! Let's compete as rivals!
