Natsupoi looks disappointed as she leaves the stage with DDM
Momo: " Go back (to DDM) quickly. But putting that aside, Utami. The official title match for the red belt has been decided for December 20th at Edion Arena Osaka 1st Gymnasium. I'll make you a champion with zero title defenses in the next month and a half, so polish yourself up and wait."
Shimi: "Momo, we teamed up today, but I've been closely studying you, so don't underestimate me, or you'll be caught off guard."
Momo: "Well, I'm looking forward to it. Yes, today we'll be closing out the Tochigi tournament with Queens Quest! In Tochigi, we have the super (Hana) sisters, especially Hinami (of QQ). Believe in the present? Shine in the future? It's up to you to decide who to believe in. Bow down to the queens!"
Comments from Shimi and Momo
Momo: "Today's Tochigi tournament ended with Queen's Quest winning, and I'd like to conclude the event with that. I think I'll be teaming up with Utami in many more matches from now on, so I'd like to study the red belt champion closely."
Shimi: "Today I was able to work together and do some research, so I think it's about time we prepared a preliminary match against Momo."
Momo: "Yeah, I think it would be a bit strange if we didn't get to fight even once, because I have a lot of motivation up until then, so I'd like to have at least one preliminary match."
Momo leaves the stage. Then Shimi also leaves the stage
