Maika: "Sakura, you've gotten so strong. You're having a title match (Sendai Girls Junior) on March 19th in Sendai (Yoyogi), right? HANAKO and I are also having a title match (Sendai Girls Tag Team) at the Cup HighMate on March 19th at Yoyogi 2. As representatives of Stardom, we're going to leave our mark on Sendai Girls!"
Sakura: "Maika, I won't do anything half-hearted like just leaving my mark! I'm definitely going to take Sendai Girls' junior belt!"
Maika: "That's a good thing to say. You're getting stronger and stronger. But, before March 19th at Yoyogi 2, I'm having a match against Hashimoto Chihiro on March 1st here in Sendai (Sendai Girls Sendai PIT)."
Hashimoto appears, bows to the commentators, and enters the ring.
Hashimoto: "Maika, the card for next week hasn't been decided at all, so I came here today. Next week in Sendai, I'd like to say that you and I will have a singles match...but listen. I want to face you properly after I achieve my goal. So please wait a little. Next week, on March 1st in Sendai, I'll be teaming up with Manami. Maika, come at the Cup HighMate. Right, HANAKO!"
Maika: "Hashimoto-san, on March 1st, NEW BLOOD and HANAKO have a (NB Tag Team) title match, so I'm sorry. But I will definitely find a suitable opponent and come to Sendai PIT on March 1st!"
Hashimoto: "Wait, wait. If it's not HANAKO, that's fine. I wanted HANAKO, but now it's all the same. I want to decide it today, so decide."
Natsupoi takes the microphone.
Natsupoi: "Anyone is fine? Well, how about me?"
Hashimoto: "I said anyone is fine, but I guess that's an option too. I haven't forgotten my promise to Natsupoi. Let's do it."
Natsupoi: "Maika-chan, how about it?"
Maika: "Of course I'd be happy! Natsupoi and I were in the same unit before, so it's decided that on March 1st, it'll be Hashimoto Chihiro, Aimi, Natsupoi, and Maika, right?!"
Hashimoto: "Right now, it's unbelievable that these two will be teaming up in Stardom. You can see it at Sendai Girls next week, so everyone please come and support us. Hey HANAKO, do your best! On March 1st, it's decided: Hashimoto Chihiro, Aimi vs. Maika, Natsupoi, so please come and support us."
Hashimoto leaves the ring.
