>> HANA: (OK, I'm here! Hope the girls come in soon. I wonder how they're doing today...)
Good morning, girls! Glad to see you in such high spirits!
(All right, I think we can look forward to some quality teamwork today!)
(I'll chat one of them up real quick and see if I can get a hint about what we should do.)
So how are you feeling today, Chihaya? Did you have anything in mind that you'd like for us to do this week?
(...Oh. Well, OK. What should I say to that?)
I understand. But taking your feelings into consideration is important to me too.
Well then, I guess we'll just get straight to filling out our schedule.
(And lest we forget, we've got Ariake with us right now to give our activities full news coverage.)
(With his large reader base, we'll be able to attract a lot more new fans with a promotion or a performance.)
Not yet, Mr. President. We were just about to, though.
...Ummm, things are a bit...-delicate- right now, sir... I don't know if we can afford to do anything too rash...
(Aw, crap...well, we're not gonna get anything done at all today if we let the President go on like this!)
All right all right! ...Sir. We'll sign up.
(Now, before we head out, do I need to check everyone's stage costumes?)
(Nope, they're good as they are right now.)
Well, girls, I guess we're playing at a Festival today. Let's head out!
OK, we made it over to the Western Region!
(...You know, every time we've seen a Unit drop out of a Festival, it's been for a good reason. I hope we're ready for this...)
(Well, let's just keep doing what we've been doing for now.)
All right girls, ready to head for the venue?
Yeah, looks like it could start pouring any second. Well, let's just try not to worry about it and concentrate on the Festival.
(She's right, though...it's looking pretty bad.)
(Ugh...I'm getting the worst feeling that something's about to happen...hopefully it's just my imagination.)
(!!! What the hell!?)
Hey, I don't need to hear that from a 961 idol, you...uh...
A- Ama...gami...Touka?
Ohhhh, right, right. Amagase...Touma. ...Uhhh, we have to play against you...?
(And, -this- is why I didn't want to rush into this. There could not be a worse time for us to run into one of Kuroi's goons...)
...That's -Akizuki Ritsuko-, and Ryuuguu Komachi to you.
I know what happened. And frankly it sickens me that you act like -you- have any right to be so full of yourself for it.
...Is that seriously all you take us for?
I'm sorry but where we decide to perform is none of your concern!
From where I'm standing, you're the one who has no place in our world! ...And certainly not in polite society.
...What kind of bet are you talking about?
Tch, I should think -that- would go without saying. And what if you win?
...Damned imbecile. We have -nothing- we need to prove to y-...
Chi-...! (...No, I won't stop her. He didn't just insult our pride, but Ritsuko's and the others' too.)
(...I can only tell by her eyes, but Chihaya's really angry.)
*sigh*...Well, we all just got a lot more than we bargained for today.
But we shouldn't let what he said get to us. There's no way he can beat the three of you in a straight-up contest. Let's win this!
(But man, this weather is not helping to set my mind at ease.)
(I don't know if I'm worrying too much, but... please, girls, just be safe up there!)
>> STAGEHAND: It's time to take your stage, everyone. Are you ready?
Amagase-san is all set to go on his stage already. We're just waiting on the four of you now.
Please try your best not to lose the Festival. We all hope you'll contribute as much excitement as you can.
>> HANA: (I wasn't expecting to have a 'moment of truth' so soon, but at this rate, I think we can manage it!)
