You must know since you've appeared before me. If you're interested, would you like to challenge for the red belt? That's all I came to tell you."
Julia puts down the microphone and leaves the stage
Yukihime: "You must be very busy during the Triangle Derby, so I came to talk about a singles match. If you're interested, how about challenging for the red belt? The red belt is a really important one, isn't it? I don't know, though. I don't know, but I'll think about it. What do you think for now?"
The Yukihime group exits the stage
AZM: "Huh? What are we going to do about this? But Queens Quest won the main event in Niigata. What score would we get? Nine points. Yes! Nine points means we still have a good chance of making it to the finals. We beat Prominence, we beat Yuki and the others today, we've beaten our outside rivals. High speed, power, high flyers. You don't see many units with such a good balance. Queens Quest will definitely win the championship and aim for the Artist title, so look forward to it. I'll wrap things up. There's a wedding dress event after this, so see you later. Believe in the present? Shine in the future? You decide who to believe in. Bow down to the queens!"
QQ's comments
AZM: "That gives us 9 points! I want to advance to the finals like this, but I also want to have a match against Kid in Yoyogi. I'm greedy. I'll do as many matches as it takes. I can say that with confidence because Kamiya and Utami are there, and that gives me the resolve to do as many matches as it takes. I'm planning on having three matches in Yoyogi (Triangle Derby semi-final & final, and High Speed Championship match)."
