Tori: ......?
Ah, Long Hair! About time! ... No, I mean! Hmph, I bet you saw my performance and couldn't resist joining in, right?
Hey, did you guys manage to make up? It's not like I'm worried or anything, but the whole team is affected when one person's missing...
And we need all of us together to take those guys down!


Wataru: Fufufu, you've worked hard, Himegimi. Allow me to praise you, good job~, well done~ ♪

Tori: Stop patting my head! Geez, you're right back to normal. I guess that means I can pass my position on to you without worrying.


Rei: Kukuku, it's only right that the boss shows up last. Sorry to keep you all waiting, gentlemen ♪


Midori: Sa-sakuma-senpai...! I'm glad you're here, I was worried we'd have to try and finish this up with just the three of us...!

Rei: I'm truly sorry for worrying you. The sun has finally set too, and none can rival my strength when I have the darkness of the night with me. We shall easily overpower them... ♪


Wataru: Rei, Rei. You're giving off quite the ominous aura right now, you know~?
Coolness is supposed to be our theme, and yet you've got our fans screaming "So cool~!" and changing sides!
You're always like this, aren't you? Even when I use my sleight of hand to win over some audience members, all you have to do is smile and say "There's a sweet scent coming from you, little miss" and you've managed to steal them away!

Rei: I have no memory of doing anything like that... But really, it comes with being a charming man. My presence alone is enough to attract young ladies ♪

Tori: ......


Midori: ......

Wataru: Oh, whoops. They're giving us looks that say not to keep chit chatting and to focus on the performance. Let's have ourselves a friendly showdown, Rei ♪


Rei: Right, let us speak with our actions instead of words, Hibiki-kun ♪

Tori: Wh-what's up with those two... They were fighting just now, right? And now they're just talking like nothing happened. How?
Urgh~ I don't get it!

Midori: Same... But I guess it's a good thing that they made up...?
Actually, wow... The venue's gotten even more hyped up after they got up on stage...

Tori: Takamine! Let's compete to see who can get more cheers from the crowd too!

Midori: Huh~... I already said I don't like competition or fighting, right...

Tori: C'mon, let's just do it!
My coolness is gonna beat your cuteness to a pulp!

Midori: (Uuu... Himemiya-kun is so pushy...)
(But that last bit sounded like it was making light of my cuteness... I might be a little annoyed at that...)
(I know I'm not small and cute like Himemiya-kun, but I've been doing my best to embody cuteness in my performance... And yet...)

Midori: (Ah, no, this is wrong... I won't be able to soothe the audience like this...)
(I've gotta perform with a calm mind, like when I'm looking at mascot characters... ♪ )

Rei: "♪ ~ ♪ ~ ♪"

Wataru: "♪ ~ ♪ ~ ♪"

Rei: Kukuku, that's some incredible cheering — wouldn't you agree, Hibiki-kun? It would be hard for us to even talk amongst ourselves if we weren't so close.

Wataru: It seems Himegimi and Takamine-kun are battling it out~
They're both doing splendid performances here, so I think everything went as we planned it.
Oh, how lovely it is to be young! They grow up so quickly, we won't be able to take our eyes off of them... ☆

Rei: Indeed. But we cannot lose to the youngsters either.
While we should let them have the spotlight near the end, we've only just made our appearance. Perhaps we should actually be making them try to compete with us for the audience's support.

Rei: "Alri~ght, Rei-chan team! We're gonna make things even more heated in here!"
"Are you all ready~? Let's all raise the energy here together, yahoo~... ☆ "

Wataru: Ooh, he suddenly shifted gear! Impressive as always, Rei... ☆

Wataru: Very well, then I shall respond in full force too!
"Ah, I can't have you looking elsewhere, young misses."
"Tonight, I shall escort you all to a world of sweet, indulgent dreams. Come, take my hand... ♪ "

Rei: Oh my, Hibiki-kun is putting up a good fight. The audience is spellbound.


Wataru: It is an honour to receive your praise! My range is limitless — I'll do a perfect job of playing any role I'm given... ☆

Rei: Oh dear, I may have blown some wind into his sails. But I suppose that's fine — we can have a full-blown competition as well.
"It's not often that you get the chance to enjoy both "Cuteness" and "Coolness" at once."
"To all the little misses gathered here, we hope you never forget this day. No, in fact, I'm sure you can't possibly forget about it."
"Now then, the party has only just begun. Like flowers that bloom in the darkness, we shall captivate you with mystery and cuteness."
"♪ ~ ♪ ~ ♪"
