Iroha: You're up!

Yachiyo: Happy New Year, Felicia.

Felicia: Happy year~...

Sana: You sound very sleepy...

Felicia: Ah~, I stayed up late last night, you know~

Yachiyo: I was already asleep by midnight.

Iroha: I went to sleep as soon as the countdown was over...

Felicia: I never have any problems staying up late!

Sana: ...But I still had a lot of fun! This New Year's Eve!

Sana: Eating soba noodles... Listening to the ringing of the temple bells!

Sana: ...It was my first time doing something like that...

Iroha: Sana-chan...

Yachiyo: ...Then we should also do something to celebrate the first day of the year.

Yachiyo: I've prepared some traditional New Year's food for the occasion.

Felicia: Oh~! Yeeesss!

Iroha: Wow~!

Sana: T-Thank you very much!

Yachiyo: Shall we eat?

Iroha: And so begins a new year for us...!

Yachiyo: ...Then don't hold back on our account.

Sana: ...Yes!

???: Ding dong! Ding dong!

Iroha: Ah, that's someone's voice...!

Yachiyo: ...Did she just say "ding dong" instead of ringing the bell...

Yachiyo: She did tell us she was coming... Yes, yes, it's open.

Tsuruno: ♫ How many nights to sleep until it's New Year's! ♫

Tsuruno: Happy New Year! Congratulations!

Yachiyo: You always get too excited... Happy New Year.

Iroha: Congratulations, Tsuruno-chan!

Sana: Yes, congratulations!

Felicia: Happy year!

Tsuruno: Yes! And here it is! My super special Chinese food!

Felicia: Oooh~!

Felicia: (Ah... but we've already~...)

Iroha: Three whole layers of food...!

Iroha: (...But... Tsuruno-chan's timing...)

Tsuruno: Heheheh! Gaze upon this~...!

Tsuruno: The first layer of food is... Look!

Iroha: ...Fried rice.

Yachiyo: ...Every time...

Tsuruno: On the second layer we have... Look!

Sana: ...More fried rice!

Tsuruno: Nope! This is...

Tsuruno: Shrimp with fried rice!

Yachiyo: That's practically the same thing...

Tsuruno: And on the third layer of food we have...!

Iroha: ...This is...! Soup...!

Iroha: ...with fried rice...

Tsuruno: ...That's all! Well, time to eat!

Yachiyo: So it's all fried rice...

Felicia: ...Well, it is to be expected...

Felicia: Fried rice and more fried rice! I'm eating it!

Iroha: ...Hehe, me too!

Sana: T-Thanks for the food!

Tsuruno: Yesyesyes, eat to your heart's content~!

Tsuruno: And after we've finished eating... Tada! Look!

Iroha: Eh? These are... Karuta... playing cards?

Tsuruno: Yes! But these are...

Tsuruno: my original creation, the "Tsuruno Karuta" cards!

Tsuruno: I call them...

Tsuruno: the "Tsuruta" cards~!

---------

Part 4

---------

Iroha: Tsuruno-chan brought several layers of Chinese fried rice for the New Year.

Iroha: And she brought something else, too...

Iroha: Karuta playing cards made by Tsuruno-chan...?

Sana: You call them... "Tsuruta" cards...?

Tsuruno: Yeees! I got a flash of inspiration before the year ended!

Yachiyo: ...So you made a set of Karuta cards?

Tsuruno: Yup! I thought we could all play together!

Yachiyo: ...Okay, I understand, you don't have to get so close to me...

Felicia: Karuta cards, are they? The game where you have to find specific cards?

Iroha: The cards usually have proverbs written on them, but...

Tsuruno: I had the idea to design them myself!

Tsuruno: I made them super quickly! I had a flash of inspiration from the heavens...!

Iroha: So what did you write on them...?

Tsuruno: Let's play and find out!

Felicia: Hmmm~... Eh, whatever, we can kill some time with this.

Tsuruno: Ooh, let's do this!

Iroha: Y-Yeah...!

Sana: Y-Yes!

Yachiyo: If I have to~...

Tsuruno: Okaaay! I'll be the reader!

Tsuruno: Very well... The game starts now~!

Tsuruno: ...I'm reading!

Tsuruno: Find the card "The-always-reliable Yachiyo!"

Yachiyo: ...What's up with that!

Felicia: Found it~!

Tsuruno: Yes, 1 point!

Yachiyo: ...Hold on a second... There is a drawing on that card... Is that supposed to be me?!

Tsuruno: That's right!

Yachiyo: ...

Yachiyo: ...It doesn't look like me!

Tsuruno: Oh, come on, that's just how I draw!

Tsuruno: ...Alright, then... Listen, Yachiyo~...

Tsuruno: Okay! I'm activating a special effect! "Yachiyo loses one turn". Done!

Yachiyo: What...?

Iroha: Eh, Tsuruno-chan... What does that mean...?

Tsuruno: You see, the reader can activate special effects at will...

Tsuruno: It's Tsuruta's special rule!

Yachiyo: ...What's up with that rule...!

Sana: It's all up to the reader's discretion...?!

Tsuruno: I had the flashy idea to make a flashy game...!

Iroha: (T-These rules are way too vague...!)

Yachiyo: ...That's...

Yachiyo: ...interesting. ...Fine!

Yachiyo: I'll take the game seriously...!

Felicia: Alright! I'm not sure I understand this, but now I'm fired up, too!

Iroha: Wow, that's unexpected...!

Sana: Let's all do our best!

Iroha: Eh...?! Ah... Y-Yes!

Iroha: And so we warmed up to Tsuruno-chan's vague rules and got excited about Tsuruta...!

---------

Part 5

---------

Iroha: Tsuruno-chan invented "Tsuruno's Karuta cards"... She calls them "Tsuruta" cards. We are playing now...

Iroha: The reader can activate special effects whenever they want. It's a game with vague rules, but...

Iroha: That's why it's so exciting...!

Sana: W-Well... I'm doing it!

Felicia: U-Uooooooo! Bring it!

Sana: ...*tickle* *tickle*!

Felicia: ...Nyahahahaha!

Sana: ...*tickle* *tickle*!

Felicia: Hah! Hah! It tickles!

Tsuruno: ...Yes! Just like that!

Felicia: ...K-Kuuu~!

Sana: A-Are you okay?!

Felicia: Y-You...

Felicia: should stop worrying so much!

Sana: T-Thank you very much...?

Tsuruno: Yes, the special effect "tickle her for 10 seconds" is over...

Tsuruno: Okay!

Yachiyo: Heheh... You actually did it...

Tsuruno: In second place... is Sana-chan!

Sana: I-I'm sorry...!

Tsuruno: And in third place is Iroha-chan!

Iroha: ...I see...

Tsuruno: In fourth place... Felicia!

Felicia: ...What, seriously!

Tsuruno: ...Yes, but don't worry... This is the climax of the game...

Tsuruno: It's time for the final turn!

Felicia: What's that about!

Tsuruno: Before we continue, I'll cast my special effect...

Tsuruno: And it's... "Win 10 points"!

Felicia: Muuuu!

Iroha: So that means...?!

Sana: Everyone has the chance to beat Yachiyo-san and win...!

Felicia: Alright! Let's do this, Tsurunooo!

Tsuruno: Heheheh~!

Yachiyo: ...That's... not entirely unexpected...

Yachiyo: ...But you know what...! I don't intend to lose...!

Felicia: ...I will go all out~!

Sana: Waa... I'm so nervous...

Iroha: Okay, I need to focus!

Tsuruno: Let's start...

Tsuruno: Find the card "She-is-scary-when-she-is-angry Yachiyo"!

Yachiyo: (What! That's not true...)

Yachiyo: (Whatever... I need to find the card!)

Yachiyo: (The card... The card...)

Yachiyo: (There it is!)

Yachiyo: (...What! This... drawing... Is that seriously supposed to be me?)

Yachiyo: (Are you kidding me... I don't have such a massive nose...!)

Iroha: Yes! I found it!

Yachiyo: ...Ah...

Yachiyo: (D-Dammit...!)

Felicia: Nooooo! I loooost!

Sana: You did it...!

Tsuruno: The winner is...

Tsuruno: Iroha-chan, with the comeback!

Iroha: Ahh...!

Iroha: ...I-I won somehow. I'm sorry, Yachiyo-san...

Yachiyo: ...No need to worry about me.

Yachiyo: (I lost to Tsuruno's drawing...!)

---------

Part 6

---------

Iroha: We played a game that Tsuruno-chan invented with Karuta cards, or "Tsuruta" cards.

Iroha: I took the first place from Yachiyo-san... and... I won...

Iroha: ...I-I won somehow. I'm sorry, Yachiyo-san...

Yachiyo: ...No need to worry about me.

Yachiyo: (I lost to Tsuruno's drawing...!)

Tsuruno: So did you all enjoy playing Tsuruta?

Felicia: ...Hm~. It's a shame that I lost...

Felicia: But even so, it was exciting!

Sana: I agree with that...!

Yachiyo: ...But the game has a lot of room for improvement...

Yachiyo: Like the drawings in the cards...!

Tsuruno: Uwaah! That's harsh...

Felicia: ...Here, look!

Yachiyo: Eh? ...What's this... A card?

Felicia: ...It's "The-always-reliable Yachiyo!"...

Felicia: It's you!

Yachiyo: ...Ex-cuse-me~...

Felicia: Identical! Oh, is that the time, I have to go out.

Felicia: I promised Kako and Ayame that I'd play with them!

Iroha: Wish them a happy New Year!

Yachiyo: ...Oh, I have to leave, too...

Iroha: Where are you going, Yachiyo-san...?

Yachiyo: Oh, I'm... going to work.

Tsuruno: I see... Okay! Then...!

Iroha: Do you want to play Tsuruta... one more time?

Tsuruno: Unfortunately, we don't have enough players...

Tsuruno: Tsuruta is best played with at least three other players!

Iroha: I-I see...

Tsuruno: So... Let's go for a walk!

Tsuruno: Let's enjoy the fresh air of a new year!

Iroha: Ah... Sure! You want to come with us, Sana-chan?

Sana: I'm okay! I mean, yes, I'll go!

Iroha: And that's how we all ended up going outside...

Iroha: There's many popular events going on in Kamihama city for the New Year...

Iroha: Events like the ones these two are enjoying...!

Madoka: Homura-chan! Over here!

Homura: Ah, I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to make you wait for me!

Madoka: No, don't worry!

Madoka: Well, I'm also done with my prayers...

Madoka: Let's go!

Homura: Yup!

---------

Part 7

---------

Madoka: Homura-chan and I came to the Suimei Shrine in Kamihama city for the New Year's Day celebrations...

Madoka: We're here to...

Madoka: ...Wooow! There's so many stalls!

Homura: Yup, it's very lively...!

Madoka: Ah, chocolate covered bananas! Takoyaki and okonomiyaki!

Madoka: Haaa~... I'm getting distracted~...

Madoka: ...Because... we need... to complete our mission first...

Homura: Y-Yup...!

Madoka: ...

Madoka: ...But it smells so goood~!

Homura: Well... we could eat something before we go do that other thing, right?

Madoka: ...

Madoka: ...Really?

Homura: Yup! I'm hungry as well!

Madoka: Yaaay! What do you want to eat?!

Homura: I'm fine with whatever you want to eat, Kaname-san.

Madoka: Eh, are you sure?! Is that really okay?

Homura: Yup!

Madoka: Thank you!

Madoka: ...Hmmm, let's see~.

Homura: (I'm enjoying the food stalls with Kaname-san for New Year's Day...)

Homura: (We're both dressed in formal wear for this occasion...!)

Homura: (We're having fun celebrating the New Year...)

Homura: (...I'm so happy...)

Madoka: Homura-chan!

Homura: Eh! Ah! Yes!

Madoka: I've finished my exhaustive examination of all the stalls...

Madoka: And I've chosen to eat the Castella mini cakes!

Madoka: Let's go buy some!

Homura: Yup!

Madoka: And after enjoying our Castella mini cakes...

Madoka: It's time to get our fortunes!

---

[Note: They're at the shrine to get O-mikuji fortunes -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O-mikuji]

---------

Part 8

---------

Madoka: We came to the Suimei Shrine to get our fortunes!

Madoka: As for why we came to this Shrine specifically...

Shrine Maiden: Next, please~!

Madoka: Yes!

Madoka: Um, I'd like a fortune, please!

Shrine Maiden: Yes, then draw from this and tell me the number you get.

Madoka: Yes...!

Madoka: ...

Madoka: ...Here!

Shrine Maiden: ...Your number's twelve, here you go.

Shrine Maiden: Who's next?

Homura: I-I'd also like a fortune...!

Shrine Maiden: Here you go!

Homura: ...

Homura: ...Yes! ...Here's my number...!

Shrine Maiden: ...Your number's fifty-three, here you go.

Madoka: ...Okay, we did it!

Homura: This is actually kind of exciting...!

Madoka: Yes... it really is...

Madoka: Because these are called the "Ultimate Fortunes"!

Madoka: I saw it on TV before the year ended! In Suimei Shrine, they've started calling these the "Ultimate Fortunes"!

Madoka: It's New Year's Day! So the two of us came here to draw them!

Madoka: However, no one knows what the fortune holds before they open them...

Homura: I wonder what makes them Ultimates...?

Madoka: It seems that the Ultimate Fortunes are more accurate than the regular ones.

Madoka: That's what everyone was saying on TV.

Homura: More accurate than the regular ones...

Madoka: Okay, I'm opening mine!

Homura: Yup...!

Madoka: I'm doing it! Here we go...!

Homura: ...!

Homura: ...Wow!

Madoka: ...This is...!

---------

Part 9

---------

Madoka: Homura-chan and I came to the Suimei Shrine to draw the "Ultimate Fortunes".

Madoka: And the fortunes are saying...!

Madoka: W-What does it say? Homura-chan!

Homura: Kaname-san... Mine says...

Homura: It says "Great Fortune"~!

Madoka: Great... fortune?

Homura: "You'll find happiness in everything you do."

Homura: "And if you've recently eaten a large serving of food, then you'll be blessed with even more happiness."

Homura: ...That's what it says...!

Madoka: H-Homura-chan...!

Madoka: ...Yes! We just ate a ton of mini cakes!

Homura: T-Thank you...!

Homura: What does yours say, Kaname-san?

Madoka: Let's see...

Madoka: It says "Infinite Fortune"!

Homura: I-Infinite fortune...?! What else does it say?

Madoka: Well...

Madoka: There's just a "∞" symbol for every item on the list...!

Homura: A-Amazing...!

Madoka: This is certainly no ordinary fortune...!

Homura: Indeed...!

Madoka: In any case...

Madoka: Yaaay! We'll both have an amazing year!

Homura: Yup!

Boy A: Ohhhh! It says "Extraordinary Fortune"!

Homura: (...Eh...?)

Boy B: "Superior Fortune"?!

Boy C: "King of Fortune"?!

Homura: ...

Homura: (...Could it be that these fortunes...)

Homura: (only include great blessings...?)

Homura: ...Kaname-sa--

Madoka: Yaaaay~! Lucky, lucky!

Homura: ...

Homura: (...Yup! Well, it doesn't matter!)

"Meanwhile, Iroha and her friends were..."

Iroha: All the shops are closed for New Year's Day.

Tsuruno: That's how you know it's a new year~!

Iroha: Speaking of which, what about Banbanzai?

Tsuruno: Ahh, our restaurant? Of course we're open today!

Tsuruno: ...Kidding, we're closed until the 7th!

Iroha: I see, so now your dad can relax for a bit.

Tsuruno: Well, but he's always too relaxed...

Sana: Ah... look, there's a crowd over there.

Tsuruno: You're right... It's a toy store.

Tsuruno: There's a poster right there. Hmmmm~, let's see...

Tsuruno: ...Ohhhhh!

Iroha: What does it say?

Tsuruno: Alright! We're joining this thing!

Sana: Joining what...?

Tsuruno: Yep!

Tsuruno: The year's just started, and I'm already fired uuup!

---------

Part 10

---------

Tsuruno: Alright! We're joining this thing!

Sana: Joining what...?

Tsuruno: Yep!

Tsuruno: The year's just started, and I'm already fired uuup!

Iroha: There was a poster for a New Year's Day event in front of a toy store.

Iroha: That event is...

Iroha: Badminton...?!

Tsuruno: Yeees, yeees!

Iroha: Um... it's the battledore and shuttlecock variant...

Tsuruno: Yesyes! All you've gotta do is keep the shuttlecock in the air!

Tsuruno: It's got that New Year's feelings, right~! Let's try it out!

Iroha: Eh? But...

Tsuruno: It says right here that everyone can participate! It's a knock-out competition!

Iroha: I see... Well, let's try it!

Sana: ...I'm not very good at this sort of thing...

Sana: ...And only other magical girls can see me...

Tsuruno: ...Ah, right~...

"Sana's wish made her invisible to the eyes of ordinary people..."

Sana: Yes... So I'll just watch from here!

Tsuruno: ...Hm~, I'm sorry...

Sana: Please, don't worry about me! Do your best, you two!

"And so Iroha and Tsuruno decided to join the event..."

Sana: There it is! Tsuruno-chan!

Tsuruno: I'm so fired uuuuuup~...

Tsuruno: Hooooooo!

Tsuruno: ...Eh? ...It's gone?

"Tsuruno was so fired up that the shuttlecock disappeared into the sky, making her lose the game."

Iroha: ...Ah, here it comes...!

Sana: There it is! Iroha-chan!

Iroha: ...Haaa!

Iroha: ...Oh! Yay~!

"And Iroha managed to win 5 matches...!"

Tsuruno: You did great, Iroha-chan...!

Iroha: Yes, this...! I'm sure...

Iroha: It's all thanks to Sana-chan's support!

Tsuruno: Yesyes! She was supporting you!

Tsuruno: ...I couldn't take advantage of that...

Sana: I-It's only my voice that's coming out...

Tsuruno: ...Could it be that...

Tsuruno: ...Do you mind if I grab one of these rackets!

Man: Ahh, sure, you can use the spares.

Tsuruno: Thank you very much!

Tsuruno: ...Yes, Sana-chan, it's time for you to play with me!

Sana: Eh?! Y-You want me to play?

Tsuruno: Please! Just a practice match!

Sana: ...Y-Yes... if you really want me to...

"And so Tsuruno and Sana began to play..."

"And that's how the Shield became a Weapon."

Sana: Wa!

Sana: Wawa!

Sana: Wawawa!

"Because her shuttlecock defence was impenetrable...!"

Tsuruno: Aww! Heck!

"Eventually, Sana's iron wall forced her opponent to make a mistake, and she won the game...!"

Iroha: Sana-chan, that was amaaazing!

Tsuruno: She's so strong...!

Tsuruno: It's just like I thought after all!

Sana: N-No! That...!

Tsuruno: Don't you think you'd do great if you could join the event?

Sana: M-Me...?

Tsuruno: What a shame! It really is a shame~!

Man: You were incredible!

Tsuruno: Wasn't she~! Sana-chan is the strongest...

Man: I've never seen someone who could keep the shuttlecock in the air on her own!

Tsuruno: ...On her own?

Iroha: Tsuruno-chan...!

Tsuruno: ...Ahh, I see! ...Ehhh~...

Tsuruno: Hahah, it's no big deal~...!

Man: I bet you could take first place in the tournament!

Tsuruno: ...The tournament?

Part 11

"While Iroha and her friends were playing badminton..."

Natsume Kako: There she is!

Mikuri Ayame: Yooo!

Felicia: This is my first time!

Felicia: ...Pounding mochi!

"Felicia, Ayame and Kako have joined a local mochi-pounding competition."

Natsume Kako: So it's your first time doing this...

Natsume Kako: Well, do you want to go first, Felicia-chan?

Mikuri Ayame: Alright! ...Felicia! Commence the poundiiiing!

Felicia: Got it! Leave it to me!

Felicia: I'm really good at using a hammer!

Natsume Kako: (Hammer...)

Felicia: I'm gonna smash it to bits!

Natsume Kako: ...Ah, you should take it easy, though...

Felicia: Uooooooo! I'm so fired up right now!

Natsume Kako: Ahh, that's just a wooden mallet! It's not really a hammer!

Mikuri Ayame: Show us your fighting spirit! Yeees, go, go!

Mikuri Ayame: Don't just "pound the mochi", try to "smash the mochi"!

Natsume Kako: T-That's not okay! That's not how you should do it...

Felicia: I'm doing it...!

Felicia: I'm smashiiiiing!

Man: Woooow~! She's so fast! I-I can't even...

Natsume Kako: (Her mochi-pounding partner can't handle her speed...!)

Natsume Kako: Y-You should slow down a bit!

Felicia: It's still not good enooough~...!

Natsume Kako: (She won't listen...! It looks like... she's in the zone...!)

Mikuri Ayame: ...Grrrrrr~!

Mikuri Ayame: Kako! I'm getting fired up as well!

Natsume Kako: Eh...?!

Mikuri Ayame: ...I've gotta do it!

Natsume Kako: D-Do what...?!

Mikuri Ayame: That! I have to do that!

Man: Eh? You want to...?

Natsume Kako: A-Ayame-chan...! You want to be her mochi-pounding partner?!

---------

Part 12

Mikuri Ayame: That! I have to do that!

Man: Eh? You want to...?

Natsume Kako: A-Ayame-chan...! You want to be her mochi-pounding partner?!

Man: No, she's too dangerous!

Mikuri Ayame: I'll be fiiine!

Felicia: UOOOOOOO! Come on, Ayame! Bring iiiit!

Mikuri Ayame: Uryaryaryaryaryaryaryarya!

Felicia: Uryaryaryaryaryaryaryarya!

Man A: I-I have never seen... pounding of this calibre!

Man B: They are absolutely... destroying that mochi...

Man B: ...Now *this* is mochi-pounding!!

Mikuri Ayame: ...This feels great!

Felicia: ...Yooooo~!

Felicia: Finish!

Natsume Kako: ...Amazing!

Natsume Kako: The mochi is glowing...!

Felicia: Heheh... We did it, Ayame!

Mikuri Ayame: Yep! Nicely fought, Felicia!

Natsume Kako: (...But pounding mochi isn't supposed to be a fight...)

"And that's how the mochi-pounding event finished..."

Natsume Kako: Amaaazing! It's delicious!

Mikuri Ayame: Yep, the mochi is so soft!

Felicia: ...Noooommm~!

Felicia: ...Yep! Not chewy at all!

Mikuri Ayame: Well, what do you wanna do next...

???: Ah, Ayame is here~.

Mikuri Ayame: ...Hm?

Mikuri Ayame: What's going on...? Is something wrong, you two?

Yusa Hazuki: Nope, we're going out because we're bored.

Shizumi Konoha: A Happy New Year to you, Kako-san, Felicia-san.

Yusa Hazuki: Happy New Year!

Natsume Kako: Happy New Year to you!

Felicia: Happy year!

Mikuri Ayame: So where... are you two going?

Yusa Hazuki: Ahh, we saw this flyer... We're going to do this.

Natsume Kako: ...Ahhh, this is...!

Felicia: What, what...?

Felicia: ...Ohhhh!

Part 13

"Madoka and Homura got the fortunes they came here for..."

"And as they were checking out the stalls, they saw someone who stood out among the crowd..."

Madoka: What's going on...?

Homura: There seems to be a big crowd over there...?

Madoka: ...Let's go see!

Homura: Yup...!

Tsuruno: Uuuuu... I'm so nervous...

Iroha: Tsuruno-chan! Try to relax!

Sana: You're going to be okay! Remember what we practised!

Madoka: ...Ahhhhh!

Madoka: Iroha-chan!

Iroha: Eh...?

Homura: Tamaki-san...?!

Iroha: And Homura-chan! Why are you two here...?

Tsuruno: Hm?

Tsuruno: ...Ohhh, the girls from Mitakihara!

Sana: Mitakihara...! The girls from back then...

Felicia: Ahhh~! We've met before!

Mikuri Ayame: Hm? Who are they?

Felicia: Ahh, you see...

...10 minutes later.

Sana: I'm very grateful for what you did back then...!

Madoka: Nooo, don't mention it!

Madoka: Also... Happy New Year!

Sana: H-Happy New Year!

Homura: H-Happy New Year!

Iroha: Madoka-chan, you came here to draw your fortunes.

Madoka: Yup! Look, look...!

Kaede: Back when this was a singles tournament, Yachiyo-san...

Kaede: was considered the queen of badminton, after having won 5 competitions in a row!

Kaede: He said her name is Yachiyo-san!

Kaede: I was so surprised that I told Momoko-chan!

Kaede: And then...

Momoko: ...So if I win the tournament...

Momoko: I could challenge Yachiyo-san...!

Kaede: Isn't that surprising~.

Momoko: Rena, let's go win that tournament! Play with me!

Rena: ...

Rena: ...Whaaaaat~?!

Iroha: So that's why...?!

Momoko: ...I want to challenge Yachiyo-san and win...!

Momoko: This is the perfect opportunity...!

Rena: She's been in serious mode since then... She's been training every single day...!

Momoko: I've won the right to challenge her so it was all worth it!

Momoko: Yachiyo-san... In this match...

Momoko: I will be the winner!

Iroha: Momoko-san...!

Yachiyo: ...Momoko... and Rena...

Yachiyo: She was your partner?

Rena: That's obvious...
