Natsuko: "Oh, right. There was something I wanted to say. Bye-bye, bye-bye. So, I'm numberonein scoring for both the Red Stars and the Blue Stars. Justone morematch to go. You won't be able to catch up. I'll go to the finals and win, and Tam, let me challenge you for the red belt you have. You always talk about achievements, so you've been watching, haven't you? Let's have a good match. I'm looking forward to it. Tremble in your sleep until the day I wear that belt."
Natsuko's comment
"Well, at today's tournament in Fukui (Tsuruga), I've gotten a head start, with just one more match left against Hazuki. And who else looks like a threat? Anyone who looks like they'll score points? I wonder if they'll all lose to me and stop there. Well, it's been a really good winning streak for Natsu. But wherever there's a revolution, someone always comes along to destroy it. I wonder if she knew that. I'm the Joker of the Red Stars. The Joker will definitely go to the finals and win, and challenge for the red belt that Tamu holds—no, no, Tamu is fine. The red belt, and when I take that red belt, there's someone I want to nominate first. Well, you just have to be patient a little longer, so you guys can look forward to making predictions. I'm sure you'll be wrong though."
Natsupoi's comment
"I suffered my first defeat... The reason for today's loss was definitely that I got drunk. I'm really not good with alcohol. No matter how many times I try, whiskey just doesn't suit my taste. Sigh... But you don't have to think that Natsupoi's strongest road is over, right? It's not over. I'm still the strongest today. The 'strong' in 'strongest' is, you know, the bad luck in fortune-telling. Crazy crazy. I learned about that kind of 'strongest' today. I'm one step closer to being the strongest. Great luck! Bye-bye!"
