Megumi:
So anyway, since it’s a draw right now, we’ll let the guests decide the winner. And since we were the only ones working the front desk, that just means we’ll win by default! How’s that!?

Rurino:
Wow~. Nice underhanded tactics!

Megumi:
Hehe, right, riiight? And I know just the thing to say afterwards. “Well, even though we won, maybe we’ll give the four of you losers a chance☆ We’ll let you perform, too☆”

Megumi:
…oh.

Sayaka:
Ah…

Sayaka:
Megumi-senpai…!

Megumi:
Hm?

Megumi:
Oh, um, about those results from earlier~☆

Kozue:
Kaho-san, you should be careful not to talk too loudly. Especially when you’re in the “open-air bath.”

Kaho:
O-Okay.

Megumi:
…Huh?

Tsuzuri:
Yeah. You could hear everything from the rooms.

Sayaka:
E-Exactly. We should really be careful!

Megumi:
Wha—!?

Rurino:
Ah…

Rurino:
Welp, looks like the cat’s out of the bag, Megu-chan. Y’know, how you worked so hard to motivate everyone because you love them sooo much♡

Megumi:
That’s not true!!!

Rurino:
Whoa! Looks like Cerise Bouquet’s about to start! Our turn isn’t for another two performances, but I’m already getting kinda nervous!

Megumi:
Hmph!

Rurino:
Huh? Hmmm? Megu-chan, are you still upset?

Megumi:
…No, that’s not it. I’m just…

Megumi:
I just didn’t want everyone to think they’d definitely get to perform. …Though maybe I went a little overboard.

Rurino:
Oh… yeah.

Rurino:
But it’s okay, Megu-chan. You hear that? They’re all giving it their best.

Rurino:
You can hear how happy they are that they get to perform. I’m sure they understood where you were coming from.

Megumi:
Hm… alright, then everything’s okay!

Megumi:
Once we’re up on stage, I’m not gonna go easy on you, alright? We’re gonna give every performance everything we’ve got so that we and everyone supporting us will have all the fun in the world. That’s your condition for performing today, got it?

Rurino:
Soooo, just like always, right?

Megumi:
Hmph, this girl! Since when did you get so sassy?

Rurino:
When I’m with you, I get super ultra fired up, Megu-chan! Not just for today, but for tomorrow’s performance too! And all the ones after that!

Megumi:
Geez, when did you get so reliable! Hmph~!
