Himan ●

Reo Onozaki

Yuzuki Hoshino

In this tag team match, Hoshino, who had just debuted the day before, and Hinami, a first-year junior high school student, were challenged by AZM and Onozaki of QQ

 As the bell rang for Hoshino and AZM, AZM hyped up the crowd, shouting, "Alright! Let's go, Shin-Kiba!", and grappled with Hoshino, grappling for wrist control. AZM caught Hoshino in a headlock, and when Hoshino threw him into the ropes, AZM landed a dropkick to get the first strike, then he and Onozaki delivered a simultaneous elbow and soccer ball kick attack, and then tied Hoshino to the ropes for a corner dropkick. He tagged in Onozaki

 Onozaki slammed Hoshino with a body slam and followed up with an elbow drop. He then tagged in AZM

 AZM, along with Onozaki, stomped on Hoshino's face in the corner, then threw him into the corner and delivered a running dropkick. AZM taunted Hoshino, shouting "Come on, rookie! Is that all you've got!", and continued to hurt him with big boots. When Hoshino retaliated with a rapid succession of elbows, AZM delivered a powerful elbow that sent Hoshino flying. He then attempted a body slam, but Hoshino countered with a neck hold, and after AZM kicked out, Hoshino landed a dropkick to get his revenge before tagging in Hinami

 Hinami caused AZM and Onozaki to accidentally hit each other, stacking them on top of each other, and then delivered a foot stomp to both of them simultaneously. AZM let out a roar and threw an elbow, to which Hinami retaliated with a big elbow of her own, causing AZM to cry out "Ouch!" and fall to her knees. Hinami continued with a series of judo techniques, including an outer leg sweep and a hip throw, and then threw AZM into the corner for a corner attack, but Onozaki came to the rescue and assisted with an RKO, allowing AZM to throw a PK and climb to the corner to deliver a diving foot stomp. Hinami dodged it, and Hoshino assisted with a dropkick, allowing Hinami to put AZM in a Gedo Clutch. It looked like a major upset was about to happen, but AZM kicked out at the last moment. Onozaki then jumped in to help, slamming both Hoshino and Hinami with a facebuster, and AZM hit Hinami with a brainbuster followed by a buzzsaw kick. When this was countered, she climbed onto the corner and delivered a diving foot stomp, driving it into Hinami's stomach, and the referee counted to three

◆3-way battle 15-minute single match

Bea Priestley

3 minutes 52 seconds
: Backdrop Hold

Andras Miyagi

*The other person is Starlight Kid

All eyes are on Andras, who betrayed Oedo Tai in the previous day's match and became an independent gang member, in this 3-way battle

 Before the match, Kid offered Andras a handshake, and surprisingly, Andras readily agreed, and Bea also shook hands with Kid. Then Bea offered Andras a handshake, and Andras readily returned her hand as well. However, Kid grew impatient with the lengthy handshake and launched a surprise attack, starting the match, at which point Bea and Andras teamed up to deliver a double chop to Kid

 It seemed like Bea and Andras would team up, but Andras poked Bea in the eye. Bea was furious and delivered a jumping knee, and Andras apologized in her normal voice, saying "I'm sorry, I'm sorry," but Bea's anger did not subside and she delivered a middle kick to Andras, tied her to the ropes and stomped on her face. She then locked Andras's legs and went for an Indians Deathlock, then caught Kid who charged in and slammed him with a Northern Lights Suplex, simultaneously damaging Andras with a sickle hold. Bea then went for a back drop on Andras, but Andras reached the ropes. However, Kid delivered a 619 to Andras, pushing her away from the ropes, and Bea used the momentum to deliver a back drop to Andras. Then Kid dodged Bea's charge and jumped in to stab her with a Deja Vu

 Kid hit Bea with a Lightning Spiral and climbed to the corner, but Andras grabbed her leg to stop her, and Bea hit Kid with a Deadly Drive. Bea tried to get rid of Andras with a high kick, but Kid jumped in and threw both Bea and Andras with a head scissors whip. Kid then charged at Bea, but Bea countered with a V-Trigger. Finally, she slammed Andras with a back drop hold to get the three count

Rinnan●

It was a six-man tag team match between TCS and Oedo Tai. As Oedo Tai entered the ring first and began drinking, TCS made a stylish entrance, and the members of Oedo Tai moved from one end of the ring to the other, drinking while watching TCS's entrance

 As soon as the TCS wrestlers were introduced, Rina launched a surprise dropkick, and when the bell rang, Rina targeted Jamie and unleashed a series of elbows. Then Hana and Zoe delivered a double elbow drop, and the three of them struck a pose and said "Yes sir♪"

 However, Jamie did not allow Rina to pursue him, instead using brute force to lift her up and slamming her with a body slam before tagging in Natsuko. Jamie, along with Natsuko and Martina, tied Rina to the ropes and stomped on her face, while Natsuko tortured Rina with a body slam followed by a sleeper hold. When Rina managed to break free on her own, Natsuko tagged in Martina

 As Jamie chanted "Maru-chan! Maru-chan!", Martina slammed Rina with a body slam and delivered a powerful slap. Hana and Zoe rushed in to save Rina, but Martina repelled them both with a double lariat, then hit Rina with a lariat as well, before going to the corner to get some more alcohol. During this time, Hana delivered a middle kick from behind to save Rina, and then tagged in

 Hana and Zoe tied Martina to the ropes and delivered a series of piercing big boots. Jamie and Natsuko then entered the ring, but Hana kicked them both away with a dropkick, and Zoe hit Martina with an X Factor. Hana followed up with another big boot. Martina endured the onslaught and landed a powerful right straight before tagging in Jamie

 Jamie dodged Hana's charge and grappled with her, delivering a Rock Bottom-style backbreaker, then declared she was going for a lariat and ran to the ropes. However, Hana caught it and used her strength to lift her out and deliver a brainbuster. Both wrestlers then tagged out

 When Rinami and Natsuko faced off, Rinami unleashed a series of dropkicks, but Natsuko blocked them head-on and didn't fall. So Rinami countered with a hip throw, slamming Natsuko down and declaring she was going for a body slam. However, Natsuko easily lifted her up and slammed her down with a body slam of her own, then called in Jamie and Martina for a train attack on Rinami. The three of them then took turns punching Rinami in the face and went for the pin, but Hana broke it up

 Natsuko slammed Rina with a Kamikaze, climbed onto the corner and attempted a Frog Splash, but Rina dodged it and countered with an Outer Leg Sweep. When Rina reversed this, Natsuko applied a Manji Hold to Natsuko, and when Jamie tried to break it up, Hana applied a Hydrangea to them in a dramatic display of submissions

 When Natsuko broke the ropes on her own, Rina ran towards the ropes, but Natsuko countered with a back elbow and attempted to finish her off with a Shoten. Rina countered with a neck hold, and when Natsuko kicked out, Rina delivered a dropkick, but Natsuko dodged it. Natsuko then hit the injured Rina with a guillotine drop before slamming her down with a Shoten for the count of three

Saya Iida●

○Utami Hayashishita

Kamiya Saya

The "SayaSaya" tag team of Iida and Kamitani will face off against the formidable tag team of Artist of Stardom champion Momo and Triple Crown champion Utami in this tag team match

 Iida and Kamiya extend their handshakes, but the two QQ members ignore them, and the bell rings for Kamiya and Momo. As soon as the bell rings, Kamiya gets the first move with a dropkick and charges at Momo along with Iida, but Momo and Utami quickly regain their balance and deliver simultaneous dropkicks to both of them, and Momo shouts "Don't underestimate me!" and kicks Kamiya like a soccer ball. Kamiya then applies a reverse Boston crab that makes her body curl into a "U" shape and drops her hips low

 Kamitani manages to break free and challenges Momo to an elbow exchange. Momo shouts "Bring it on!" and accepts the blows with a confident expression, but Kamitani retaliates with a dropkick and tags in Iida

 Iida hit Momo with a dropkick followed by machine gun chops. As Momo tried to counterattack, Iida landed a palm strike and attempted a body slam, but Momo got furious, shouting "Don't mess with me, you damn midget!" and delivered four body slams in a row before tagging in Utami

 Utami grabbed Iida's arm and delivered a shoulder tackle, then slammed her down with an outer leg sweep, and then attempted a body slam, but Iida got behind her and put her on top of Utami in a body scissors sleeper hold. Momo broke up the hold and, together with Utami, threw Iida and Kamitani into the ropes, but Iida and Kamitani sent them both flying with simultaneous dropkicks, and then took turns delivering a series of corner dropkicks to Utami, followed by a simultaneous dropkick from both of them, and then Iida delivered a dropkick to the back of Utami's head before going for the Iidabashi, but Momo broke up the hold with a middle kick, and Utami delivered a series of shoulder throws. Iida endured this and challenged Utami to an elbow exchange, which Utami also accepted head-on, and the two stood their ground and exchanged heavy elbows

Iida gained the upper hand and ran to the ropes, but Utami countered with a lariat, knocking her down and climbing to the second corner for a missile kick. She then climbed to the top corner, but Kamiya interfered by pulling her leg back, so Iida and Kamiya worked together for a deadly drive, and Kamiya then crushed her with a standing shooting star press. Iida then pinned her with an Iidabashi, but Utami kicked out, and Momo jumped in and delivered a high kick to Iida for a great assist. Utami went for a German suplex, and as Iida tried to resist with a rolling prawn hold, Utami pulled her out and slammed her down with a German suplex hold, which proved to be the winning move

Saki Kashima ●

 A six-man tag team match between STARS and Oedo Tai. All members of Oedo Tai entered the ring and all acted as seconds for the other wrestlers

 When the members of STARS offered to shake hands, Natsu stepped forward with a smile and shook hands with Riho, but then adopted a cold attitude, saying, "Oh, never mind. Please step back," thus starting a psychological battle even before the match began

 As the gong sounded for Kagetsu and Iwatani, the match began quietly with them cautiously measuring the distance between them with all four hands locked, then progressed from a struggle for headlocks to an exchange of head scissors. After separating and glaring at each other, they tagged in Hazuki and Riho

 Hazuki and Riho engaged in a dizzying exchange of rope work, which escalated into a series of arm drags. With the match remaining even, they both distanced themselves from each other, and the opportunity to compete passed to Natsu and Kashima

 Natsu dodges Kashima's lock-up and walks over to her corner, smiling and saying, "Riho-sama! Nice to meet you!" as she extends her hand for a handshake. Kashima is furious and charges in, saying, "Don't talk to Riho-sama so casually!", but Natsu dodges that too and says, "I'm not interested in you anymore!", grabbing Kashima's hair and throwing her out of the ring, leading to a chaotic brawl outside the ring

 Natsu brings Kashima back into the ring and tags in Kagetsu. Kagetsu slams Kashima with a body slam and tags in Hazuki. Hazuki also delivers a body slam before tagging in Natsu. Natsu says, "Alright! Let's do two!" and follows up with a body slam, but instead of going for the second one, she fakes going for the pin

 When the match rights returned to Kagetsu, she sprayed poison mist into Kashima's face and provoked her by saying, "Hey, what's wrong, Donki?" Kashima unleashed a flurry of elbows in anger, but Hazuki attacked Kashima from behind, and they delivered a combined move with Hazuki's reverse DDT and Kagetsu's guillotine drop. Then Hazuki hit Kashima with a face wash and tagged in Natsu

 Natsu taunts Kashima by singing "Don don don♪ Donki♪ Don Quixote♪" as she pushes her into the corner and stomps on her face. She then drags Riho from the opponent's corner and sits her on top of Kashima, then shouts "AEW! AEW!" as she launches a Bronco Buster, but only Riho dodges it and Kashima takes the hit. Natsu yells, "Why you! I'm tired of doing the Bronco Buster to you! If you want to take it so badly, I'll do it again!" and throws her into the corner, but Kashima jumps onto the corner and delivers an angry missile kick before tagging in Riho

 Riho hooked Natsu on the ropes and delivered a 619, followed by a diving crossbody from the top rope. Riho charged in again, but Kagetsu and Hazuki caught her and pushed her into the corner. Natsu then chanted "AEW! AEW!" again and attempted a Bronco Buster on Riho, but Iwatani and Kashima broke it up. Natsu hit both of them with Manhattan Drops, and then hit Riho with a Manhattan Drop when she came to the rescue. Natsu smiled with satisfaction as she watched Riho roll around clutching her crotch, and then tagged in Kagetsu

 Kagetsu apologized, "I'm sorry, Riho-sama! I'm really sorry!" as she threw elbows, but Riho retaliated with a knee lift and tagged in Iwatani

 Iwatani delivered a dropkick to Kagetsu, and after a dizzying exchange of middle kicks and high kicks with Kagetsu, she landed a high kick of her own. However, Hazuki and Natsu came to her rescue and unleashed a barrage of blows on Iwatani, with Kagetsu hitting an Ebisu Drop followed by an Oedo Coaster. Riho broke up the pin, and in the ensuing chaos, Kashima climbed onto the corner and delivered a diving foot stomp to Kagetsu. Riho then hit Kagetsu with a jumping knee and Kashima with a big boot simultaneously, and Iwatani dropped a moonsault press from the top rope. Natsu broke up the pin and eliminated Iwatani with a running neckbreaker, but Riho eliminated Natsu with a running knee. In the midst of this brawl, Kagetsu and Iwatani tagged in Hazuki and Kashima respectively

 Hazuki and Kashima engaged in a dizzying exchange of pinning attempts, taking turns pinning each other with prawn holds. When Hazuki attempted a Hazukistral, Kashima made a last-ditch counter, but Hazuki kicked out and immediately grappled with Kashima, finishing the match with a vertical drop brainbuster

 

Hazuki: "Hey everyone in Shin-Kiba, how are you all doing?! One more time! How are you all doing?! Hazuki is in a great mood today, so I'm going to make an announcement! What's happening on December 24th, everyone? (Voices from the audience: "Korakuen!") That's right! The final match of the year at Korakuen... Hazuki will be retiring! Well, that's just one more month! Make sure you enjoy Hazuki to the fullest! That's all!"

 

 Hazuki's nonchalant announcement of her retirement, and the cheerful way the members of the Oedo Tai watched it, caused a huge stir among the audience, but the Oedo Tai members left the arena with smiles on their faces

<Post-match comments>

Oedo Tai

Kagetsu: "Ahhh! It's all over now. As for the match, Natsu apologized to AEW, and Hazuki made a big announcement. Right?"

Hazuki: "Yes. After the final match of the year, Hazuki will retire! Yes!"

(The members of the Oedo Tai team smile and applaud.)

Kagetsu: "I bet that was a surprise, wasn't it? ...Do you want to answer some questions?"

Hazuki: "Even if you ask me, I have nothing to say."

 

—What was the reason for your retirement?

Hazuki: "Hmm, I won't tell you. There are some things that are better left unsaid, aren't there?"

Kagetsu: "That's quite intriguing (laughs). Well, it's not really a surprise. If it's something Hazuki has decided, then we in the Oedo Tai want to send her off with smiles, so as she said, we hope you'll enjoy Oedo Tai's Hazuki to the fullest for the next month. That's all! Yay!"

Nakano Tamu●

*The 16th champions, Jungle Kyona and Konami, successfully defended their titles for the second time

Hoshiki and Tamu both extend their hands for a handshake, but when Konami steps forward, Tamu inexplicably pushes Hoshiki aside, and the two end up glaring at each other

 As the gong sounds for Kyoka and Tam, they lock hands and push against each other head-on in a test of strength. Kyoka gains the upper hand and crushes Tam on the ground, but Tam bounces Kyoka up with a bridge and jumps to the ropes. Kyoka counters with a shoulder tackle and sends Tam flying, then, together with Konami, attempts a sandwich of soccer ball kicks and penalty kicks, but Hoshiki comes in and eliminates Konami, and the two deliver simultaneous corner kicks, followed by Tam's cartwheel double knee drop. Tam then twists Kyoka's wrist and tags in Hoshiki, who delivers a middle kick to her arm

 Hoshiki unleashed a barrage of attacks on Kyoko, starting with a middle kick, followed by a running knee lift and a reverse splash-style double knee drop. She even managed to calmly receive Kyoko's elbow, which she threw while staggering, but Kyoko countered with a shoulder tackle while roaring and called for a tag in Konami. However, Hoshiki immediately got up and eliminated Konami with a thrust kick, then delivered several knee drops to Kyoko's arm before tagging in Tamu

 Tamu slammed a diving knee drop into Kyoka's arm, then grabbed onto the ropes and stomped on Kyoka's arm with both feet. When Kyoka threw a desperate lariat, Tamu caught it, jumped on her back, and applied a body scissors sleeper hold followed by a Palo Special. When Konami came to intervene, Hoshiki also applied a Palo Special to her, creating a spectacular display of action

 However, Kyoko and Konami were thrown forward, and Tam escaped the Palo Special, then each applied a sleeper hold to their opponent. Tam escaped from this and hit Kyoko with a Northern Lights Suplex Hold. She then tagged in Hoshiki

 Tam and Hoshiki attempted to deliver simultaneous thrust kicks to Kyoko, but Kyoko dodged them and sent them both flying out of the ring with a double lariat. Konami followed up with a sliding kick from inside the ring. Kyoko then dove out of the ring with a plancha. However, Hoshiki and Tam, who had gained the upper hand by focusing their attack on Kyoko during the brawl outside the ring, brought her back into the ring and delivered a sandwich low dropkick. Hoshiki then attempted a Shining Impact, but Kyoko dodged it and delivered a single lariat. Finally, Konami tagged in

 Konami rushes out and delivers a sliding kick to Hoshiki, then locks her in a reverse Indians deathlock. She then catches Tam, who charges in, and applies a fisherman's suplex hold, damaging Hoshiki's leg. Konami then attempts an ankle lock followed by a muffler hold, but Hoshiki spins out to escape and delivers a high kick. As Konami dodges this, Kyona assists with a lariat, and Konami applies a muffler hold to Hoshiki, lifting her up and applying a submission hold. Tam breaks this up with a middle kick, and Hoshiki hits Konami with a running knee. Hoshiki delivers a combination kick followed by a jumping high kick and tags in Tam

 Tam delivered a diving double knee drop from the corner and then went for Konami's back, but Konami shook her off and Tam immediately followed up with a backspin kick. She slammed the staggering Konami with a German suplex hold, but Kyoka came to the rescue and the two of them delivered a brainbuster to Hoshiki and Tam simultaneously. Kyoka then hoisted Tam up for a powerbomb, and Konami delivered a missile kick in a combined attack. Konami went for a buzzsaw kick followed by a triangle lancer, but Tam threw her body to the ground and went for the pin, which Konami countered with an armbar

 Hoshiki intervenes, landing a high kick on Kyoka and a clean backspin kick on Konami. The two then climb to the corners, with Tam hitting Konami with a Destiny Hammer and Hoshiki with a 1399 on Kyoka. As Kyoka and Konami escape to the outside, Tam and Hoshiki climb to the corners simultaneously and follow up with a plancha to the outside

 Tam returns Konami to the ring and attempts a dropkick, but Konami dodges it and goes for a Triangle Lancer. Hoshiki brilliantly cuts this off with a Buzzsaw Kick, and Tam joins Hoshiki's Shining Impact with a Big Boot in a combined attack. Tam then slams Konami down with a Tiger Suplex Hold, but Kyoka makes a last-ditch effort to break it up

Hoshiki eliminates Kyoka from the ring and attempts a diving double knee drop from the apron, but Kyoka catches her, lifts her up, and slams Hoshiki into the apron with a powerbomb

In the ring, Tamu attempted another Tiger Suplex on Konami, but Kyoka intervened and delivered a full-swing elbow to Tamu. Konami then caught Tamu, who was stumbling, in a Triangle Lancer, and Tamu reluctantly gave up

 

Konami: "Goddess V2! Achieved! ...Hoshiki, that face, that face. That look of despair on your face is incredibly satisfying! Just imagining seeing that sad face of yours again on December 24th...it sends shivers down my spine."

(Hoshiki holds up the white belt in front of Konami's eyes, causing Konami to bury her face in the belt and Hoshiki to recoil.)

Konami: "Thank you, Jungle! Looks like our strategy was a success!"

Kyoka: "What are you being fooled for?! Hahaha! We're not on bad terms! (laughs) Thank you, Konami! That was a great performance! (Kyoka speaks to Konami with a big smile, but Konami turns her face away with a wry smile) ...Huh? Well, I guess it's okay that we're business partners? We'd like to continue working together as business partners. So, since we won, do you want to hear my ambition?! My ambition is to make this tag team belt a global title! Go global! I want to defend this belt against tag teams all over the world! Although, I haven't received any challenges yet, but I'm waiting! Let's send it to the world!!" (At this point, Hana Kimura enters the ring listlessly, clapping and taking the microphone)

Hana: "Congratulations on your title match and successful defense. I hope someone will come forward to challenge me... Good evening everyone! Hey, I don't have any title matches scheduled for the Korakuen Hall event on December 24th! Hey, Mr. Ogawa! I bet you're going to put me in some random 6-person tag team match or some kind of 3-way match, aren't you?! Hey, old man! Are you even listening?! Seriously, don't you think Stardom is wasting Kimura Hana's talent?! Hey?! But, there's someone I've been interested in lately... Is it love? There's someone I'm interested in, and I want to have a match with him. But, I've been trying to be a pretty good girl lately, but when I'm a good girl, I get mixed into 6-person tag team matches or some kind of 3-way match, so I'm thinking of taking action myself, so please look forward to it!"

Konami: "...Kimura Hana always takes too long on the mic. It's time for her to go home. She needs to have some coffee when she gets home. Okay! So everyone, today we won with a one-hit knockout move, and since we have the two members of TCS here, we'd like to end with TCS's signature closing! Everyone, please stand up! OK? OK? We'll end with that! Everyone is different, and that's okay! That's TOKYO CYBER SQUAD! Yes sir! Thank you very much!"

<Post-match comments>

Jungle Kyona & Konami

Konami: "Finally, we've achieved V2. It's been a long time since we last held the belts, but we were beaten pretty badly in this Goddess of Stardom tournament and had a title defense against the winning team of Arisa Hoshiki and Tam Nakano. Well, I guess it was a victory for our strategy! All that acting of being on bad terms up until now was a lie!"

Screaming woman: "It was a lie!"

Konami: "Well, to begin with, we're not even close enough to fight. Thankfully, my opponent was the current champion of the white belt, which I will be challenging for on the 24th. I was reminded once again that Arisa Hoshiki is a wrestler who brings a different flavor to her matches no matter how many times we fight. I also have many moves that I'm saving until December 24th, so I want to unleash my full potential on the 24th."

Kyoko: "So, it's okay to assume that (the bad relationship) was a lie, right...? No, it was all part of the plan, you know? But somehow, I've started to think that Konami really does hate me? I mean, honestly, you know? I have this nagging feeling in my heart, but as I said earlier, I have ambitions. I want to make this belt a global one! So, I want to defend this belt against tag teams from all over the world, so I'm open to recruiting, okay? (gestures pointing to the text at the bottom of the screen)"

Konami: "That's right. Since we won today, I'd like to talk about my ambitions as champions. I think that among Stardom's many belts, this tag team belt tends to be overshadowed by the red belt and the white belt. So, I have an ambition to fight against tag teams from all over the world, and if we can go to the world stage, I want to compete with the tag team belts and raise the value of Stardom's tag team belts. That's what I think!"

Screaming woman: "Me too! I think so too."

 

--When you say "going global," does that mean you want to go on overseas tours?

Kyoko: "Yes, of course. After all, it means we're being called upon, right? 'Let us challenge you!' We're being called upon as champions, and we want to defend the title many times and make this belt our own."

 

-- Does Konami never feel annoyed by Kyoko at all?

Konami: "Yeah, it's really annoying."

Screaming woman: "Why are you asking me that?!"

Konami: "How should I put it? She thinks 'I'm always right,' both in her private life and in the ring. She thinks 'everyone shares my opinion.' And then, if you try to fight back, she gets angry. Before we even teamed up, she kept calling me a 'nosy old hag'..."

Screaming woman: "That's enough! It's okay, it's okay! That's enough!!"

Konami: "Well, that's it. I guess you could call me a 'nosy old lady'."

Screaming woman: "That's enough... Please don't make me say anything that will hurt me anymore..."

Arisa Hoshiki & Tam Nakano

Hoshiki: "DREAM SHiNE lost. Honestly, I'm at a loss for words right now. ...I'm sorry I couldn't come to help you in the end."

Tamu: "Can you stop apologizing? ...It's my fault."

Hoshiki: "I'm also at fault."

Tamu: "You're also at fault."

Hoshiki: "But this isn't the end, is it? It would be lame to lose now and say, 'It's all over,' wouldn't it? Those two still have the belts, so let's get revenge."

Tamu: "By when?"

Hoshiki: "I'm always ready."

Tamu: "I'm ready anytime!"

Hoshiki: "So, all that's left is to tell Ogawa-san, right?!"

Tamu: "What are you so angry about?"

Hoshiki: "...Because it's so frustrating (tears welling up). I really thought I could definitely win today. That's why it's so frustrating."

Tamu: "But I've failed at so many things, but I'm working hard because I believe I can definitely pick myself up in the ring. I was able to pick myself up on my own, so I think you and I can definitely pick ourselves up together. ...Just kidding!"

(Tamu playfully gets up and leaves first.)

Hoshiki: "Could I have that ice pack for a moment? Hey?...He's gone (laughs). But this really isn't the end. You know, it wouldn't be fun if we could easily defeat the final boss. It wouldn't be interesting. So I think there's meaning in trying again, so the two of us will work together to get stronger, level up, and defeat the final bosses with our combined strength."

(Tam returns listlessly, takes Hoshiki's hand, and pulls him to the waiting room.)

Tamu: "Let's go quickly."
