*The other person is Saya Iida
A three-way match featuring Saya Iida, Mei Seira, and Saki Kashima. Iida, who has entered the high-speed scene, faces off against former champions. The current champion is Saya Kamitani, but will she fight with a focus on high speed, or will she go for a power-based victory? The outcome of the match will likely depend on how Iida plays. Of course, even in a high-speed match, Kashima is expected to be her usual self.
The three charge forward, and when Kashima pulls back, Iida and Seira clash. Kashima quickly breaks up the pin, giving Iida a chance to recover.

Queen's Quest comments
Kamitani: "Today's Kyoto tournament marked Mitsuyoshi's triumphant return, and she won against Oedo Tai! I said this in the ring during the fight, but Watanabe Momo's strength is something that QQ is currently lacking? Or rather, it's something that QQ needs more of, which is why I expressed my feelings in the ring today, and of course, the members of QQ. Mitsuyoshi was really reliable today, and she assisted me a lot, and she has become more reliable, so Queens Quest will get even stronger from now on, so please keep your eyes on us."
Amasaki: "I'm so happy to be back in Kyoto, and I'm glad to finally be back. I'll come back even stronger, show everyone that QQ will reach the top, liven up Kyoto, and make Queens Quest reach the top. I'll do my best."
