What do you all want to do about the joint event Ai suggested?

For her to tell us so frankly about how she feels compels me to step up and give her the response she deserves!

Putting that part aside, I do want to compete against her. I want to give it my all against Ai now that she's polished up her performances over at the Association.

That's why I don't want to miss this chance!

And I'll never back down in front of a challenge!

I want to take on Karin head-on. I think how cute I am right now would win against Karin's sultry ways.

I don't feel the exact same as Setsuna, but I agree that this is the perfect chance, so we shouldn't let it get away!

I'd also like to participate. I would like those in the Association to watch what I learned from them, now that I've selfishly gone back to the Club.

Do you think Mia's gonna join in as well? Rina-chan Board says, “Woo-hoo!”

I'm not sure, but I would love to see her perform on stage again.

Emma, Kanata, Ayumu? What about you three?

Hmm… I understand where everyone's coming from, but I think I'll sit this one out.

Why? I want to see you perform, Emma.

Yeah! Come on! Let's send the Association home with their tails between their legs!

Sorry. I can't see myself sharing the same vision as Lanzhu and the others, so I don't think I'd be able to give a performance I felt happy with.

I couldn't ever show that side of me to all of my fans.

I think I'll pass on this as well. I just don't feel like competing right now. I'm not against the whole idea, but it's not for me this time.

Do you feel the same way, Ayumu?

Yeah. I think I'll just cheer everyone on this time. Is that okay?

Of course it is. I respect everyone's decisions.

Okay, so we'll have four participants from the Club. Setsuna, Kasumi, Shizuku, and Rina, right?

I wanted to do this with the whole club…

Are you lonely without us? We'll be there to cheer you on, and we'll do everything we can to help you out.

She's right. We'll give it our all as your support team this time.

I'll do absolutely anything, so don't be shy and let me know.

Thanks, you three. It really helps to have all of your support.

Oh, I know! This is the perfect opportunity for me to say something to you, Setsuna, straight up!

Yes, what is it?

Lanzhu Zhong and Karin aren't the only people I want to win against. I won't be losing out to you either, Setsuna!

*Giggle* And I don't intend on losing, either. I accept your challenge, Kasumi!

The two of you are burning with passion.

You should let your competitive side burn with us too, Rinako! I'm obviously gonna make sure I win against you as well!

Okay. Rina-chan Board says, “On fire!”

[Fade in/out.]

Hmm. I really do want to include this as well. If we're gonna do this, we gotta make it perfect.

I'm getting all hyped up just writing up the proposal!

Oh-ho? Now what's this?

Mm-hmm, uh-huh. I see. So it'll be Setsu, Kasukasu, Shizuku, and Rinari participating from the Club, huh?

Aww, I really wanted to duke it out against all of the Club members, though!

Hang on! Snap outta it, Ai! I should be grateful that the four of them are doing this to begin with!

All right! Time to make this the best event ever!

[Fade in/out.]

Ai says she's writing up the proposal right now. She's really fired up!

It sure seems that way. I got a text from her just now.

Oh? Was it about the tournament draft?

Yup. She said she spoke to you about it.

I was just about to bring it up with you. That's Ai for you. Always on the ball.

I'll be the host of the draft. I'll tell Kanata and the others as well.

Really? Thanks!

Do you think it'd be okay if I interviewed everyone on their thoughts leading up to the event?

I think that's a great idea! Doing that would totally pump everyone up!

Right? I won't be participating in the tournament, but having a joint event at school sounds like fun. Let's make it an exciting one!

Yeah!
