 * ...Oh? Quiet, everyone. There goes the drum roll; I think they’re ready to announce the result.
 * (Trickstar's Match) Mao Isara Full Render Bloomed.png
 * Ohh, finally huh. Ugh~... These times always feel deadly nerve-wracking to me.
 * (Challenging Trickstar) Makoto Yuuki Full Render Bloomed.png
 * Ahaha. But there’s no thrill to knowing the result from the start, right? Isn’t it exciting, to not know whether you’ll win or lose?
 * (Trickstar's Miracle) Subaru Akehoshi Full Render Bloomed.png
 * You’re surprisingly a gambler, aren’t you, Ukki~?
 * (Trickstar's Guidance) Hokuto Hidaka Full Render Bloomed.png
 * Didn’t you guys hear when I said ‘quiet’? Or do you guys can’t stay still for even a few minutes?

Well... Fufu, it’s nice that I get to scold you like usual, like this. I’m glad we can return to our usual selves at the very end
 * (Trickstar's Miracle) Subaru Akehoshi Full Render Bloomed.png
 * Yep. To the usual Trickstar, right?
 * Yep. To the usual Trickstar, right?

Let’s see, what’s the result gonna be...?
 * (Challenging Trickstar) Makoto Yuuki Full Render Bloomed.png
 * Ah, suddenly I’m scared! Guys, can we hold hands?
 * (Trickstar's Match) Mao Isara Full Render Bloomed.png
 * Ehh!? I was all happy thinking you’ve grown dependable, so do you really need to go back to being all jittery at the end, Makoto!? Well, I don’t mind―there. Holding hands, right?
 * (Trickstar's Guidance) Hokuto Hidaka Full Render Bloomed.png
 * ...Akehoshi, you can hold onto me since you seem to have a hard time standing straight. Do it naturally.
 * (Trickstar's Miracle) Subaru Akehoshi Full Render Bloomed.png
 * O-Okay. I can’t make the audience worry, right?

Gyuuu~... Gee, this is scary. What should I do if we lose? It’ll be my fault.
 * (Trickstar's Guidance) Hokuto Hidaka Full Render Bloomed.png
 * Don’t say such things. It’ll be alright, because... our Goddess of Victory is always smiling upon us.

Look. Anzu is smiling.
 * (Trickstar's Miracle) Subaru Akehoshi Full Render Bloomed.png
 * ...Eek!?
 * ...Eek!?

That surprised me! The spotlight shone on us suddenly, so I thought Anzu radiated some mysterious ray of light as she smiled...!
 * (Challenging Trickstar) Makoto Yuuki Full Render Bloomed.png
 * What would that make Anzu-chan? Anyway, this is...?
 * (Trickstar's Guidance) Hokuto Hidaka Full Render Bloomed.png
 * Ah... if it’s like the DreamFes system, then the spotlight shines down on the winner.
 * (Trickstar's Guidance) Hokuto Hidaka Full Render Bloomed.png
 * Ah... if it’s like the DreamFes system, then the spotlight shines down on the winner.

That means... ahh, so we won.

We won SS.

I-I can’t find the words... I can’t think straight either. What is this? I’m so happy.

I’m so happy! We did it! We won!
 * (Trickstar's Match) Mao Isara Full Render Bloomed.png
 * Ah... Finally. Felt so long. Ahaha, it’s really hard to find the words once push comes to shove. The tension is completely gone from my shoulders.
 * (Challenging Trickstar) Makoto Yuuki Full Render Bloomed.png
 * Yeah, same... Yeah. Ahh, I’m so glad♪
 * (Proceeding Heart) Hiyori Tomoe Full Render Bloomed.png
 * Tch~ Congratulations.
 * (Resounding Beat) Jun Sazanami Full Render Bloomed.png
 * For real? GODDAMN! How can we lose after coming this far? This is frustrating~! Damn you and congratulations...!
 * (Sweet Domination) Nagisa Ran Full Render Bloomed.png
 * ...I think that you can congratulate them even while frustrated is commendable, or rather... you’re a good boy, Jun.

...Congratulations. This wasn’t in the script, so I don’t know what would be a good line for the occasion.

...But I’m relieved.

...Those who are right are rewarded. The ones who achieve are those who worked for it. I think that should stay the law of the world.

...There is no meaning in victory and defeat. But there’s value to your victory today.

...I hope for you to keep walking towards the brilliant future, without repeating that past of gloom.

...Fufu. A pity, is it, Ibara?
 * (Complete Joy) Ibara Saegusa Full Render Bloomed.png
 * Nn, well it’s fine, I guess~... I can’t stomach that it’s the foolishness of our top people that dragged us down and caused this defeat, not the fault in my plan.
 * Nn, well it’s fine, I guess~... I can’t stomach that it’s the foolishness of our top people that dragged us down and caused this defeat, not the fault in my plan.

Well, not being able to see that coming was still my negligence.

It’s good enough harvest. We’ll be learning from this loss, and win next time for sure. Go ahead and laugh all you want for now, Trickstar.
 * (Proceeding Heart) Hiyori Tomoe Full Render Bloomed.png
 * Can’t you even congratulate them openly? ...Anyway, you kids; don’t stand around stupefied like that.

SS might be atypical in many ways, but if it still adheres to the rules of the DreamFest system... then the winners gain the right to sing an encore.
