Kurei: "Hina-san, I'm Kurei Sayaka, the Cinderella who probably doesn't leave much of an impression on you. I think the fact that I was able to pin you for three counts today means that my resolve got through to you, what do you think?"
Hina: "Kurei, you really were Cinderella. I didn't expect to be pushed this far. Apparently there are about two more matches this week in Hokkaido, but I can't participate because I have school. So today was my last preliminary match. I didn't want to lose to Kurei."
Kurei: "I don't want to lose to Hina-san either. If I can take the Future belt from Hina-san, who has both experience and a bright future, I think it will truly be the future. I'm looking forward to Hokkaido."
