Annette: Kuh! Tish!!
>> In the previous carnival, you one upped me. But!!

Shiffon: I said, "Don't," didn't I?
Annette: ...!?

P141
Annette: Kahah!!
(text)>> When did... she get behind me!?

Satellizer/Rana (text): When...

Text: did she...
>> get in front of us...!!

Creo (text): No matter how tired she said she was...
>> To take out Annette with a single blow...

Atia: I didn't sense any indication of her movement!!
>> There wasn't even a sound!!

P142
Atia: This is the school's undisputed rank 1st!!
>> Shiffon Fairchild's Illusion Turn!!

Shiffon: Are you also going to act out?

Atia: ...

P143
Atia: We understand, President Shiffon...
>> We will stop...

Shiffon: Okay... I want all available hands to do the following...
>> Please help to carry the wounded.

Shiffon: Satellizer-san
Satellizer: ...!!

Shiffon: I want you to accompany Kazuya Aoi-kun.
>> Being that you two are a pair.

P144
Satellizer: ...

Rana: Ah! President!!
Satellizer: ...!
Rana: I will take care of Kazuya-kun ~de arimasu!!
Shiffon: ?

Shiffon: Are... your injuries okay?
Rana: Yes! They are fine ~de arimasu!

Shiffon: Alright. Then, I'll leave him to you. Let's go, Tish.
Rana: Thank you very much ~de arimasu!!!

Rana: Now then... Kazuy-!!
>> ...eh!?
Box: Already on it.

P145
Rana: I-I will accompany Kazuya-kun ~de arimasu!! Switch with me ~de arimasu!!
Satellizer: He's my partner!!

P146
Kazuya: S-Satella-sempai!! Rana!!
Rana: Please don't get up so suddenly ~de arimasu...
Kazuya: No, more importantly, what about the 3rd years...!?

Rana: You seem to have suffered a mild concussion ~de arimasu...
>> But, it isn't something to worry too much about ~de arimasu...

Kazuya: Sempai... what about the 3rd years...?

Satellizer: It's... been settled.

P147
Rana: Satellizer-san and I worked together and fough-
>> Ugh...!!

Rana: O-Of course. We did receive some "light" injuries, but as you can see we're safe ~de arimasu...
Kazuya: ...

Kazuya: I'm sorry, sempai... even though I wasn't of any assistance...
>> I meddled in your affair...

Satellizer: That's right!
>> You were really meddlesome!
Kazuya: ...!

Satellizer: There are problems which you can help resolve and there are those which you cannot!
>> This problem was purely between me and the 3rd years only!!

P148
Satellizer: Your interference was unnecessary!!
>> You rushed in even though you couldn't do anything!!

Kazuya (text): Rushed in...
>> If I had been fatally wounded...

Rana: ...

P149
Rana: Isn't that a bit too much ~de arimasenka? Satellizer-san.
>> Didn't Kazuya-kun do it because you are his partner ~de arimashou?

Rana: If I were you, I'd be overjoyed ~de arimashita!
>> Even if Kazuya-kun did rush in...

Satellizer: Then, how about you go take your chances with fate?
>> Because I'm leaving!!
Kazuya: ...!!

Kazuya: Satella-sempai!! Wait!!
Rana: Please wait!!

P150
Satellizer: What happened? Why!?
>> Why did I say those things!?

Kazuya (text): When I proposed to be your partner...
>> It was by my own will! I was well aware of what it meant!!

Satellizer (text): Even though...
>> I was really happy...

P151
Rana: Kazuya-kun...

Kazuya: She's right... recklessly rushing in... it's obvious that I'd be called an annoyance...
Rana: That's wrong ~de arimasu! You were very brave ~de arimashita!!

Rana: I think you were really cool ~de arimasu! Not everyone can selflessly sacrifice themselves for their partners!
Kazuya: ...

Kazuya: Thanks... Rana... I'm glad to able to talk with you like this...
Rana: D-Don't sweat it... hehe...

P152
Kazuya: Even though I want to be of use to sempai...
>> Oddly enough, I keep making mistakes...

Kazuya: This time too... I moved completely based on my own emotions...
Rana: ...

Rana (text): Kazuya-kun...
>> You seriously...

Rana: The truth is I have to apologize to you two too ~de arimasu...
Kazuya: ...!

Rana: I didn't even know what was going on, and still I meddled in Satellizer-sempai's business. Because of that, this happened...
Kazuya: C-C'mon... isn't that the 3rd years' fault?

Rana: But...

P153
Kazuya: I'm fine.
Rana: !

Kazuya: So, you don't need to worry about me.
>> Just promise me that you will apologize to Satella-sempai afterwards, okay?

Rana: Kazuya-kun is Satellizer-san's partner but...
>> It's true that you have not been baptized yet ~de arimasune?
Kazuya: Eh!? Uh... about that... well...

P154
Rana: Then that means... I cannot give up on Kazuya-kun ~de arimasu!
>> No matter what, I will definitely baptize Kazuya-kun without fail ~de arimasu!!

Kazuya: U-Umm... Rana... I don't want to perform the baptism with any but Satella-sempai...
Rana: Anyways, I don't care if it goes unrequited for now ~de arimasu!

Kazuya: Rana... right now isn't...
Rana: If the goal keeper isn't there, the ball will go in ~de arimasu!!
Kazuya: How unreasonable...

Box: Culture Building

???: Oh, I've seen this movie before as well...
Blonde: !

P156
Shiffon: I apologize for interrupting your relaxation...
>> But as usual, you enjoy watching movies, Elizabeth Mayberry.

Elizabeth: Shiffon Fairchild...

P157
Elizabeth: The school's undisputed rank 1st empress taking the trouble to visit me in such a boring place...
>> I feel truly honored.
Shiffon: I don't find this place boring whatsoever. You know I love movies as well, right?

Elizabeth: Would you like seat down? As you can see, there are plenty available...

Shiffon: As I said earlier, I am only here to spectate unfortunately...

Elizabeth: If it's about the Untouchable Queen...
>> Don't even ask.
>> I have no intention of backing off.

P158
Shiffon: That's very troubling~
>> I must take action against those who violate school regulations...

Elizabeth: In any academy, there are one or two regulations that are of lesser importance when compared to promises...
>> I'm just trying to keep those promises.

Elizabeth: President...
>> It is like how you place school regulations before all else...

Shiffon: But, aren't there times when things become to much for just one person to handle?
>> You've already seeked the assistance of the 3rd year's rank 4th... **3rd year's rank 4th is Annette**
>> At this rate, the situation can only worsen, correct?
>> I cannot continue to silently observe any longer.

Elizabeth: The 3rd years have not fallen yet!

P159
Shiffon: No
>> They've already been defeated.
Elizabeth (text): ...!?

Shiffon: Presently, you believe that by defeating Satellizer-san...
>> The 3rd years' tarnished pride will be able to restore, yes?
>> But, if Satellizer were defeat the 3rd year's rank 2nd for example...
>> Then, that would only make even more of a name for her.

Shiffon: While Satellizer-san is a 2nd year, she has talent that exceeds that of the 3rd year's rank 4th.
>> Why don't you first accept that and then think of a measure from there?
>> Methods that rely on force are not appropriate measures to take with her...
>> I've said that before, I believe.

Shiffon: How about you try thinking it over one final time?
>> Put winning and losing aside, and think to yourself...
>> An scar that will never disappear for the 3rd years...

P160
Elizabeth: Indeed... "the nail that sticks out gets hammered down"... huh.
>> Satellizer L. Bridgette...
