	Thanks for the hard work, everyone!
	Thank you too~! So you Eve are going home right after the Summer Live ended; that’s a pity! I wanted to keep singing together forever~☆
	Haha. We’re happy you feel that way, but we have our own business to deal with, y’see.
	Yes yes! Unlike you guys, we sell! It feels pleasant to be yearned for, but we must part for a while. Either way, good work to you! It was pretty fun~ Let’s do that again sometimes♪
	Gladly. Ah, we’ll see you to the turnstile. We’ll carry your stuffs too—or maybe we can arrange them to be sent to Reimei Academy on a later date, if you want.
	You have mountains of luggage, after all! Ahaha☆ Ohii-san, what is it you bought so much of?
	I bought everything that caught my eye, of course! Ah, those were some satisfying purchases! Look at this, Subaru-kun! Toys made in German are so colorful, aren’t they~♪
	Wow, you’re right, it’s so sparkling~☆ Give that to me, Ohii-san!
	Eh~ You should find one for yourself and buy it on your own choice. I can give it to you as a present to deepen our friendship, but the joint live is over anyway… From here on, we’re completely enemies.
	But we’ll still be fellow idols! Let’s get along, Ohii-san! You too, Jun-Jun☆
	Huh…? Can you please not attach a weird nickname to me~?
	Yes yes, you should learn from Jun-kun’s naming sense!
	…Why are those guys so full of energy even though we’re just finished with work?”
	Ahaha. Akehoshi-kun’s always like that, so I’m no longer surprised, but the Eve members are still in high spirits too, huh… It wasn’t like they were cutting corners either, so I guess they’re just cut from different cloth… I need to work out more.
	Fufu. Up for another hellish training from the Light Music Club, Yuuki? We experienced a total defeat this time. I’ve got a taste of my own incompetence… Be it in business strategy or performance or everything else—we failed to even reach Eve’s ankles.
	Ahaha. So I was right; you’re upset, Hidaka-kun.
	Obviously. If Eve alone is this strong, then just how formidable would they be when combined with that Adam group to become Eden…? Just the thought makes my blood run cold. There’s only half a year until SS. If we don’t work to the bones to grow, we won’t make it in time.
	Fufu. That’s true. Give it your best shot♪
	…President. Please forgive us; the Summer Live ended with disgraceful results. As Yumenosaki Academy’s representative, we’re very ashamed of ourselves.
	Ahaha. Well done, but there’s no need to take a formal tone with me this late. You guys seem to think you’ve lost… but it was a joint live, and as a plan, it laudably accomplished its purpose. You weren’t deprived of anything. So without wasting time on weeping, keep working hard, optimistic like you are. I’m cheering for you from the bottom of my heart. Of course, I’m not the only one. The whole Yumenosaki population is right behind you. You guys tend to crowd on your own, Trickstar, but you should take a look at your surroundings. Idols aren’t born through just idols. Naturally, there are fans; but it’s also thanks to the effort of other staffs, like the producer, that you can finally shine. Understanding that, Eve designed the most effective strategy to fight in an enemy territory. They set up an encampment, won over their enemy, took them in, and attained impressive victory at the end. All things you didn’t even thought of. However, while Eden might be the most prominent… the other units gathered for SS are also equal to Eve, if not greater. As you are now, you’ll be crushed in a blink of eye. In order to win—so that you won’t have to, for the second time, lower your head and say ‘forgive us’ to me, who you detest—… Grow stronger, Trickstar.
	Ahaha. Eichi-kun, unexpectedly enough, you can say some really student council president-like things♪
	…Are you dissatisfied that I do, Hiyori-kun?
	Not really? I’m glad to see you’re enjoying your life, Eichi-kun. It’s good to see you after a long while… If circumstances permit, feel free to call me over. I’ll come and drop by if I feel like it.
	Of course. May you survive your fight and grant your dream. You can consult me if you run into trouble. I’ll be happy to help… with proper payment, that is.
	What a joke. My family will contempt me for getting along with someone from the Tenshouin Zaibatsu^[1]. Until we’re dead, we still haven’t lost; so make sure not to let your guard down. Myself aside, my brother is an outstanding man. He’ll definitely rejuvenate the Tomoe Foundation. To help achieve that, I need to become a better idol and promote our foundation more.
	Fufu. You’re such a family person. Maybe I should learn from your example, on that point. But be careful not to push yourself too much and fall ill, okay? This heat is going to continue for a while… You’re so bad at staying alive, I can’t help but worry. Well, I’ll gladly keep you as pet again when you’re left on the streets, Hiyori-kun♪
	Ahaha! If you’re still alive by the time such a day comes, I might take you up on the offer, Eichi-kun…♪
	Ohii-saaan, the train’s coming. Stop that discomforting chat and let’s get going. …Once again, thank you for the good work today, everyone.
	Yup, you too, Sazanami-kun. If it’s not a bother, can we connect through social media? I want to trade intelligence for SS and be friends with you too.
