「14Points. It's coming. We're steadily progressing towards the finals. Iida, Saya, your chops and elbows were more passionate than any of the official matches so far, and I almost gave in.

"The 5★STAR official matches are over, and we've had a break of a little over two weeks, I guess that's summer vacation? Unagi, it was my first singles match against you since our seven-match series, and I was really excited to fight you, but you said you wanted to do it again, but it's not just one more time. You'll be my rival again and again, forever. I've returned those personalized items that I gave to everyone. Bring them with you every time you fight me, and I'll give one back to you each time.

Momo's comment
"He thought I had two wrenches, didn't he? That's not true. I don't even have three wrenches, I have an infinite number. Hahaha. It's useless no matter how many times you try to get rid of him. You guys understand now, right? Learn your lesson already. What was the final match of 5★STAR again? Was it Hazuki? He seemed to have momentum at the beginning, but now his momentum has completely dropped. I'm going to make that guy feel the most miserable in the end and win. I don't care about 5★STAR anymore."

AZM: "I've successfully defended my title for the seventh time! I've been meaning to say this for a while, but I felt I couldn't until I beat Hazuki. I'm not saying it directly, but welcome back, Hazuki. Thank you for coming back to Stardom."
Hazuki: "AZM, I'm back. I'm glad you finally said 'welcome back.' Thank you for nominating me. Now that you've defeated me in a three-way match, I hope you'll break the record for most title defenses that I couldn't surpass. I'm looking forward to it."
AZM: "No more somber moods. Next, as promised, I'll have a title match against Hanazono Momoka for this belt. As requested, it will be a big match in Osaka, so Ogawa-san, please set it up. OK?"
Shimi enters the ring
Shimi: "Hey Oedo Tai. We received a message from you a while ago, sorry for the late reply. We QQ have been busy, but our schedules have finally cleared up. So, we QQ's schedules are now free, so let's have that artist battle."
Kid: "Your reply is slow. Well, we made an agreement quite a while ago, and since we don't have a challenger right now, we nominated you, but you need to bring one more person. I guess you won't tell us who it is? Is it okay to assume that it's just one of the members who happened to be there that day?"
Shimi: "I'm feeling a bit worn out today and can't be here, but I, AZM, and Saya Kamitani will take on the challenge."
Kid: "Two title defenses in a row between homegrown talents, so company, please schedule a title defense on a day when Wonder and High Speed don't have a title defense! Thank you very much."
AZM: "We haven't settled things with Oedo Tai yet, so I guess we're the only ones who can take it from them! We, QQ, will snatch the Artist Belt from Oedo Tai, so please look forward to it. Today isn't an official match, so let's end with QQ for the first time in a while. Believe in the present? Shine in tomorrow? You decide who to believe in. Bow down to the queens!"
AZM's comment
"I successfully defended my High Speed title for the seventh time. That was great. To be honest, I was really anxious, but I was able to welcome Hazuki back safely, and I want to set a new record for most title defenses to fulfill another promise I made to Hazuki. To be honest, I don't think there's anyone in Stardom right now who can take this High Speed belt from me. If you're frustrated, then work hard on that, and next up is Hanazono Momoka. As promised, I've told the company that we'll have a big match in Osaka, so let's have a great match on a great stage. I'm looking forward to it."
Hazuki's comment
Hazuki: "It was a 3-way match just like three years ago, and this time AZM went from being unhappy to 3. It didn't affect the outcome, but throughout the match I could feel that AZM was taking pride in being the High Speed Champion, and even though it didn't affect the outcome, I definitely feel that I lost. As I said in the ring, I want AZM to definitely surpass the record for most defenses of the High Speed Champion, which I was unable to break. And AZM, it's early, but congratulations on turning 20 as the High Speed Champion ! Let's do it again."
