＠Miss Crane
All right, let's talk Inq[line 2]or rather, ∞QUEEN.
[k]

？1：If we can defeat them, we can get their ticket.

＠Miss Crane
Exactly. In a concert battle, two idols take the stage, and whoever gives the better performance wins.
[k]

＠Miss Crane
That is how these things work here.
[k]

？2：It looks like we have no choice but to defeat them...

＠Miss Crane
I can understand your reluctance, but we'll only be challenging them to a concert battle.
[k]

[charaFace B 0]
＠Miss Crane
If it helps, you can think of it as the noblest way for idols to compete.
[k]

？！

[charaFace B 8]
＠Miss Crane
That said, Inq is a formidable foe. All the more so because there are two of them.

It does, and for one simple reason:[sr]they can support each other.

＠Miss Crane
When you're braving a harsh environment, having someone you trust there with you can make an enormous difference. You know that feeling, don't you, Mash?

＠Miss Crane
Right? Well, it's no different for idols when they're up on stage.
[k]

＠Miss Crane
That's why it's become standard practice for so many girls trying to navigate today's complex idol scene to team up.
[k]

[charaFace B 6]
＠Miss Crane
Having an idol group also creates opportunities for stories about their lives and relationship dynamics.
[k]

[charaFace B 8]
＠Miss Crane
But you need to be careful who you choose, as teaming up with just anyone can easily lead to idols losing their individual personality and becoming indistinguishable from[line 2]
[k]

？1：We get the idea, thanks.
？！

[charaFace B 3]
＠Miss Crane
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize I was babbling.[wt 1.0][charaFace B 6] My[sr]point is, competing against Inq on your own won't be easy.

Far, far away, somewhere in space-time, I bade Houston farewell, and hightailed it into a black hole, planet and all.
[k]

＠X Alter
I was hoping to find a world full of ice cream, but instead, I wound up in one full of idols.
[k]

＠X Alter
During my Cosmo-Chaldea High days, I ended up regularly singing idol songs at space karaoke thanks to a headstrong friend who always dragged me along.
[k]

＠X Alter
She said I was a great singer, so I thought I might actually have a shot here.

But real idols like Medb think their victory is guaranteed, so they never second guess themselves.

I was reminded of that when I saw her today.[sr]It's just as impressive now as it was then.

I'm not being self-deprecating. I HAVE been racking up win after win in every stray concert battle I've had.

And while I did still think Medb was cute when I saw her again today, I didn't feel overwhelmed or unworthy.

Medb is prouder than anyone I've ever met, and she still went out of her way to try to poach the designer who made this outfit.

That must mean this outfit is really something special. And I'm the one who's wearing it.

MasP, Ex is simply burning with passion right now.[sr]We can't afford to let this fire in her fizzle out.

Just what I was thinking! It's time to show our opponents what we're really made of!
