Now that I've got a beautiful dress, I feel like I've gotten a little bit closer to being princess-like.

Yeah! But I don't think I've gotten any closer at all… Ahaha.

I can't wait to see both of you as princesses!

I have to agree there… And of course, I would like to see Princess Karin too.

Uhh, well! I believe progress is underway on the stage props. I'll pitch in too so we can finish them today.

Let's also make some flyers so we can get some nice publicity going.

Hold on just a minute! We need to discuss something more important than that with you first!

What is it?

You'll be a princess right alongside Honoka and Riko, so don't act like this doesn't concern you.

Is there anything you're worried about? You've got to tell us.

Sorry… It's just that the dresses You made really are cute and absolutely lovely.

You're worried because the dresses are lovely?

I'm not really the cute princess type, am I? I'm not sure if I'm cut out to wear such a dress.

I thought I'd let you two play the cutesy princesses, while I'd be in charge of acting sultry like always.

I can't believe it… So that's what was on your mind, huh?

Yes, it was! Setsuna, I just know that dress would bring out your charms perfectly, so why don't you switch places with me?

Wh-What are you saying?! Karin, it will absolutely look amazing on you as well!

Really? Thanks for the flattery… But I know what my strengths and weaknesses are.

Whaaaaaaatttt???

What?

Don't tell me that you aren't aware of how cute you are?!

Did you think sultry was all you were?!

What?! H-Honoka, what are you talking about?

Karin, you're like a sweet big sister… I think you're PLENTY cute!

O-Oh my… You're not playing fair putting it like that.

So you get embarrassed like that as well, huh, Karin… I feel like you still have so many more charms I don't know about!

Aww, I think even my ears are red now. Ugh, don't look at me!

It looks like we got to witness a new charming side of Karin.

Urgh… I didn't think this would happen.

Did we go too far?

No. I just feel embarrassed that everyone had been watching me so closely, but I'm happy too.

In that case, no more talk of giving away the princess role, okay?

I won't. Since everyone unearthed my hidden charms, I kind of feel like I can actually become my own kind of princess now.

That's the spirit. After all, you'll be competing to see who's the most beautiful princess.

I made you a cute costume that'll look good on you, Karin, so please trust me here.

Oh, You… That's true. I don't want to fall short of your expectations, so I'll wear it with pride.

Yes! That sounds more like our Karin.

Thank you! When we perform, I don't plan to lose out to Honoka or Riko.
