>> HANA: (OK, I'm here. It's finally release week! First things first: let's greet the girls with a big smile!)
Morning, girls! You're in bright and early today.
(Yep, they're ready! They all know what this week is.)
(Well, I think I should try chatting with someone first, just to make sure there's nothing important I need to know.)
So, Chihaya, umm...lately it kinda seems like you've been in a different mood than usual, you know?
(Hmm, I see...And you don't think it could be from all those sit-ups?)
Yes, that would be a problem. Are you sure you're eating right? You should take better care of yourself.
Well, I think you all know what we need to do today. Let's have a look at the schedule...
(Oh, that's right! We have that Reporter Kanamaru writing about us in his economics articles right now.)
(As long as he's putting in a good word for us, I wonder if our activities this week could fetch a higher price...)
(Now, before we head out, do I need to check everyone's stage costumes?)
(Nope, they're good as they are right now.)
All right girls, we're gonna wrap up this tour with a Quintet Live!
*sigh*...Time to head out. This has been one busy month.
But, I shouldn't complain. It's only natural to have to put this much work towards a goal like the Grand Prix...
Besides, my job is nothing compared to the girls'-...
Oh, if it isn't Kuroi. Dear me, was I talking out loud? Well, I suppose I have been a bit absent-minded today...
I couldn't agree more, Ku. But hey, 'long as we're stuck with it, why don't we make the most of it and be friends? Whaddaya say?
Well. That was only about -half- as impolite as I was expecting.
Unfortunately for you, we're -not- going to just disappear.
The girls have proven themselves perfectly capable of the level of effort and dedication needed to win the Grand Prix.
...I wouldn't expect you to understand.
...And, I suppose, whatever it's supposed to take to be a 'world-class artisan', you consider yourself to have it?
...You know what? I don't think anyone else would refer to themselves as such. Not a soul.
But I'll tell you this: just because you refuse to understand Hana Yori Uta's strengths doesn't mean they don't exist.
And as long as you do, your precious little Grand Prix isn't as secure as you'd like to think.
Oh, don't worry. We won't lose to you.
(Hmph. What the hell. He's even more full of himself than usual today.)
(But no matter. We started this whole campaign so we wouldn't have to worry about him ever again.)
(And now, it's time to finish it!)
