Star: Imposingly---!!

p3
Hirari: Eh, what's this? Why does everyone know them!?
Hirari: Are they actually famous...!?
Eri: Right?
Masaharu: I...I wonder why...
Michiru: The audience didn't make much of a ruckus last time because they were more adult competitors than youth competitors...
Michiru: But it seems all the kids your age take off their hat to Doigaki-kun's couple.
All: Woooooooow!
Guy: It's Doigaki...!
Guy: It's the Doigaki/Ayatsuji pair...!
Guy: They're the ones who've been fighting for first place with the current students' champion, Sakimoto's pair...
Michikage(thinks): Doigaki Masumi...!
Takamasa(thinks): My rival...!

p4 //no dialog

p5
Voice: Whoa! They really...
Voice: Are intense---!!
Masaharu: Whoaaaa, it's amazing...! They all have their eyes fixed on the senpai...!
Masaharu(thinks): There are some people laughing here and there though...!
Michiru: Well, to be honest, I don't really understand what the criteria are to determine who wins in these dances,
Michiru: But I like how they make it plain to see even for those who don't know a lot.

p6
Michiru: They've got "presence"...!
Michiru: I mean, anyone would end up watching him if they saw someone like Doigaki-kun dancing so sharply.
Michiru: And the reaction each person takes is different.
sd: There's an amazing guy there!
Michiru: And in the end, it's a person who's judging
Michiru: So there's no meaning if they don't see you.

p7
Takamasa: All the pairs dancing on Doigaki's heat
Takamasa: Must be having a hard time...!
Takamasa: Because he steals
Takamasa: The eyes of the crowd!!
Voice: What? It's already over?
Voice: Shoot!
Voice: I forgot to check every couple except #65...!
Thought: Same here...

p8
Akiko: Wheeeew, the prez and Rio-senpai...
Akiko: Are really amazing...!
Shou(thinks): It should be a while since they last danced Latin...
Shou(thinks): But forget about having a blank, they're dancing sharper than ever...
Shou(thinks): They've been teaching us all the time at club activities so they haven't practiced much there...
Shou(thinks): But now I'm sure about it, they're definitely training while we're not watching...!!
Shou(thinks): You damn geezer---...
Voice: The next dance is---...

p9
Voice: "Samba"
Shou(thinks): I'm definitely beating you!!
Voice: The first heat.
Rio: Hey, Masumi-kun!
Rio: Why are you provoking him!
Rio's sd: Don't be so childish with your underclassmen!
Masumi: That much is fine for them,
Masumi: They'll get more motivated if I do this much.

p10
Sign: Latin First Preliminary Results
Masaharu: Yamaki-senpai and Akiko-senpai passed the preliminary as third place overall...!
Masaharu: The president and Rio-senpai passed as first place overall...!
Hirari: Geeeeh, wow...! First and third...!!
Hirari: Wait a sec! Doesn't that mean we're actually, like, a really strong place!?
Hirari's sd: We're Shika High's Dance Club!
Masaharu(thinks): Stop it, stop it, the pressure is incredible!

p11
Akiko: Why are you going all out on the first preliminary!!?
Akiko: Think about pacing yourself, you stupid Shou!!
Text: Yamaki/Tsubaki pair, passed as third place
Shou: It was the result of being aggressive so it's fine.
Akiko: We have to dance four songs for the second prelims, four for the semis, and four for the finals,
Akiko: It's a whole twelve songs, do you really get it!?
Text: Cha-cha-cha: 7 Rumba: 5 Samba: 7 Paso Doble: 7 Total: 26 points
Shou: If you really think like that then stop with the kick barrage!!
Naomi: We're second, look, Michikage!
Naomi: Don't you want to go brag at Yamaki-kun and Akiko-chan!?
Text: Kuroda/Senzaki pair, passed as second place
Text: Cha-cha-cha: 7 Rumba: 6 Samba: 7 Paso Doble: 7 Total: 27 points
Michikage: Beating them is normal, don't be stupid,
Michikage: Forget about that and let's go prepare for the next round, Naomi.
Naomi(thinks): His back says he's happy. (cd: That's so cute...)

p12-13
Text: Second preliminary---
Text: The third dance, Rumba.

p14
Masaharu: Hmm! This time all our senpai are in the same heat...!
Masaharu: That evil-looking person is in it too...!
Hirari: Goo*le-sensei! What kind of dance is "Rumba"!?
Hirari(thinks): I didn't ask in the first round.
Michiru: Who's Googl*-sensei? (cd: Wait a sec)
Michiru: Emm, it has quadruple time and it's peculiar for how it's danced with strong and smooth movements with a slow rhythm---
Michiru: And it seems it represents an "adult love"---
Thought: Love!!?
Hirari's sd: And an adult one!?
sd: Lob? Luv? Rob? What is love? Rub? //Baby don't hurt me XD
Michiru's sd: Oh, they're bewildered at a word they're not really used to.
Michiru: This is probably Doigaki-kun and Ayatsuji-san's specialty---

p15
Michiru: It seems they've been dancing together since they're kids
Michiru: So don't they have the greatest "partner love" of sorts?
Michiru: They also danced a Rumba during the cultural festival.
Michiru's sd: Slow Foxtrot then Rumba.
Masaharu: Eh, ah, yes...! You're right...! Come to think of it...!
Michiru(thinks): Ah, they didn't know.
Hirari: But then, what about Yamaki-senpai and Akiko-senpai...!?
Hirari: I have this impression of them always fighting...
Hirari: And they're dancing a "dance of love"...

p16
Thought: Kh...! (cd: I'm no good with this...!)
Text: Second Preliminary Results First Place: Doigaki pair Tie for Second Place: Yamaki Pair/Kuroda Pair
Michikage: Dammit...! Sorry, Naomi...!
Michikage: Rumba really isn't for me.
Naomi's sd: I actually like Rumba quite a bit.
Text: Cha-cha-cha: 7 Rumba: 5 Samba: 7 Paso Doble: 7 Total: 26 points
Shou: Well, this dance is too much for a virgin after all.
Michikage: I-I-I-I'm not a virgin!!
Michikage: And you're terrible at Rumba too!!

p17
Shou: In my case it's 100% my partner's fault!!
Shou: How can I express love dancing with this woman!!?
Akiko: Huuuuuuuuh!!? That's my line, you know---!?
Naomi: No way, Michikage, you're not a virgin---!?
Naomi: But you've never went out with a girl, have you!?
Michikage: Damn you, Naomi! You don't need to dig deeper into that!!! Just let it be!!
Masumi: Pheeew, good grief,
Masumi: I see you're busy making excuses like "it isn't for me" or "it's my partner's fault".
Masumi: But if you can't get full marks on the preliminaries
Masumi: Then you're still green.
Rio's sd: You're doing it again!

p18-19
Text: Semifinals---
Voice: "Paso Doble".

p20
Michiru: Latin's fourth dance, "Paso Doble", represents a "bullfight";
Michiru: The man represents the matador and the woman represents the matador's red cape or the bull.
Michiru: There are two "highlight" moments, one at the middle and one at the end of the song.
Michiru: It's there when they strike poses as if the matador was giving the bull the final blow which is pretty cool.

p21
Michiru: It's exactly the kind of thing
Michiru: The second years should be good at.

p22
Text: Semifinals Results
Shou: Hey, how're the results!?
Masaharu: Ah, the president's pair is first place...
Eri's sd: Here's a towel
Akiko's sd: Thanks
Shou: And we're tied in second, huh...
Naomi: Tied second,
Naomi: In the end we couldn't separate from Akiko's pair.
Michikage: Tch...
Masaharu(thinks): Yamaki-senpai's sweating a lot...!

p23
Masaharu(thinks): This is different from when we're dancing at practice...!
Masaharu(thinks): This is...!
Masaharu(thinks): What it means...!
Masaharu(thinks): To battle...!?
Shou(thinks): Is he a stamina monster or what...?
Shou(thinks): He doesn't seem tired at all.
Shou(thinks): Anyway, now that we're at the finals,
Shou(thinks): We're finally at the same stage as them...!

p24
Masumi: !
Shou(thinks): ...The prez---...
Shou(thinks): The prez, Sakimoto-san and the others...The top third years, I can only compete with them this year...
Masumi: Think about it as a place to step up your game in order to win the nationals!
Shou(thinks): For you, today's competition
Shou(thinks): Might only be one to make adjustments before the nationals.
Shou(thinks): But I don't plan
Shou(thinks): To let any chances to win go...!!

p25
Rio: Was it just me...Or was Yamaki-kun staring at us really intensely...?
Masumi: Mmfufufu, that kid's really interesting,
Masumi: He's usually only messing around,
Masumi: But his desire to win is the only thing
Masumi: He doesn't put up just for show...!
Shou: Akiko...!
Shou: Do you remember the "dance for the final"...!!?
Akiko: Huh!? Of course I do!
Shou: We're taking off...
Shou: The crowd's eyes of them...!!
Star: Do they have a chance to win...!?
