Shimi: "Artists, three big names, artists, that's good. Let's go with artists, artists!"
Maihime-like character enters
Maika: "Lady C, you've been doing pretty well since joining QQ. But don't think you can take this belt just because you've won a few matches. Well, I'll accept your challenge out of respect for your hard work."
Himeka: "Hey, Utami Hayashishita, you've been pretty desperate ever since you lost the red belt. And Lady C, thanks for the great suggestion. Do you know what the match is at the Korakuen Hall event on March13th? That's right, these six people, I'll change that match into a title match for you."
Kamiya and Natsupoi bumped fists together, smiling
Lady: "March12th?15th? 13th. Sorry, but I'm definitely going to wear that artist's belt at Korakuen Hall. And I've received udon (winner's prize), so I'm sure I'll be even more powerful. This is my first time doing a closing, is that okay? Believe in the present and shine tomorrow, decide for yourself who you believe in, Bow down to the queens!"
QQ's comments
Lady C of Queen's Quest has emerged victorious. We were pretty beaten badly by Oedo Tai twice in a row, which was quite frustrating, but we've made up for it here. Queen's Quest will definitely win the tug-of-war match as well. And we've earned a challenge for the Artist of Stardom title. We'll definitely win it as a powerful trio and become belt holders
AZM: "Let's all work together to get the belt."
