Maika: "I'm back! I'm still a little jet-lagged, so I'm sorry I forgot my costume. But anyway, the unit competition started today! EXV will definitely win, and I wonder what belt we should challenge for. Right, everyone?"
Shirakawa: "Well, I've been jet-lagged so much that I don't know the difference between morning, noon, and night! EXV was able to go to America with the three of us this time, and when I was there alone, I felt really lonely in many ways, but the two of you came with me, and Maika secured the final victory in America, and I realized how amazing Maika is and how big her presence is. That's why I want to go for that belt with the two of us. Look at STARS, they have so many belts, it was a little lonely for us, wasn't it? The era of EXV is far from over, it's far from over.
" Maika: "So, for the first time in a while, let's wrap things up together. To a world beyond imagination, EXV is here!"
Maika: "We managed to beat STARS."
Shirakawa: "But, isn't this result tough?" Maika: "It is tough. And, we have fewer members than the other units. The fact that we were still able to win like this means that our bond, experience, love, knowledge, and various other things worked together.
" Shirakawa: "We also formed EXV last year, right? But in about a year, our teamwork has increased. I felt that while fighting."
Maika: "But, actually, there's even more. I wonder if we can give it our all in this unit competition?"
Shirakawa: "Seriously. There's so much more, like this and that and that and it's incredible (laughs)."
Maika: "It's incredible. So, we, EXV, will definitely win this unit competition!"
All: "EXV is here!"
