One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four.

All right. Let's pause here for a five-minute break.

Aw, but I can keep going for longer!

The Star Festival event is tomorrow, Lanzhu. You don't wanna wear yourself out today.

Hmph! I'm not even tired at all.

Yes, I can tell as much from your dancing.

But as Kanata always says, a good work-life balance is vital for a school idol!

A work-life balance…

Okay, fine. I'll take a break. I have to make this the best show ever, after all!

I sure would like it to be the best show ever, but… I am a little concerned about the weather.

Setsuna…

Come on, now, smile! I'm sure it'll be nice out tomorrow!

Plus, guess what Yoshiko told me when I went to Uranohoshi to drop off her costume…

She said she's looking forward to competing against her rival for all eternity. She was also practicing really hard, and I'm sure she still is right now too.

So just be patient and look forward to the performance, Setsuna!

Oh, Yoshiko…

Very well! If she's so determined, then I won't back down either! Once our break is over, how about we run through the whole dance one more time?

[Fade in/out.]

It's really coming down…

Geez, what's with this downpour?! Stop right this instant!

Y-Yelling at the sky won't help us any, Yoshiko.

I keep telling you, I'm Yohane…

And it won't hurt for me to yell at the sky for a bit. The show's tomorrow, after all. Or it would be, but I don't know what will happen with this rain and all…

What awful timing for a typhoon to come…

*Sigh*

D-Do you think maybe this rain could be because of my properties as a fallen angel…?

Urgh, why'd this have to happen?!

Hey, Yoshiko, do you know any magic spells that can blow a typhoon away?

Huh?

I was thinking maybe you could use your fallen angel powers to do something about this storm.

M-Maybe. After all, anything is possible with my dark magic! Observe, Ruby!
