Ramona
...Then I, Ramona, will step up to the plate!

Koyomi
Ramona-san!?

Ramona
Everyone...gather in my room after this!

Koyomi
So? What are you planning?

Ramona
Hikari, you still have "those costumes", right?

Hikari
...!

Hikari
Yeah, I got it! I'll bring them!

Xue
What's going on?

Lilja
I don't know, but they seem to understand each other.

Hikari
Ramo-san, I brought them! Hehe...

Xue
Hey, those are...!

Ramona
Yes, the Kanazaka Academy uniforms.

Ramona
Hikari deserves recognition for serving as a festival committee member and planning the volunteer performance. We must show her as a reward.

Koyomi
You want us to wear them here...!?

Xue
Hey, the cultural festival is already over...?

Hikari
Please, just this once!

Lilja
I want to see it too.

Xue
Hey, don't join in!

Koyomi
...

Ramona
For Hikari's sake, please.

Koyomi
...Haah, alright. Once or twice, it doesn't make a difference.

Xue
Koyomi-san!?

Koyomi
Where should we change? I'd like to avoid places where other theatre members might see us and cause a commotion.

Ramona
Ah! Then Hikari and Lilja, please wait outside.

Ramona
Should I leave too?

Koyomi
We change together for performances, so it's fine...

Xue
...

Xue
Haah, fine.

Xue
You'll owe me for this, Germany!

Xue
...Is this okay?

Koyomi
It's nerve wracking to wear different clothes outside of stage performances...when I think that Iroha-san does this kind of thing all the time...

Ramona
How is it, Hikari?

Xue
Why are you blushing?

Xue
You were the most enthusiastic one during the cultural festival...

Ramona
Haha. I wasn't so self conscious during the performance, but now I feel a bit embarrassed.

Hikari
Uuu...thank you, thank you! sniff

Koyomi
Please don't cry over something like this, Hikari-san.

Lilja
Yes. ...Looks good.

Xue
Don't examine us so closely from top to bottom...we're not doing this for you...

Ramona
Do you feel better now?

Xue
You're not going to ask us to dance here, are you?

Xue
Even in the Gingaza dorm, it would echo to the floor below.

Hikari
I-I won't!

Hikari
Well, I'd really like to see it, but...

Hikari
It's okay. It's playing in my head right now! "Ryouran Otome †Musou Geki"!

Ramona
Mental playback, huh.

Hikari
Hehe. Thanks for indulging my selfishness, Ramo-san.

Hikari
You even helped with the volunteer dance when I said I wanted to do it.

Ramona
No. I should be thanking you, Hikari. Thanks to you, we created wonderful memories. I felt a sense of unity not just with my class, but with so many students.

Ramona
That day, the gym was definitely filled with excitement. Everyone's cheers were flying around, and of course, your support was among them.

Hikari
Ramo-san...

Hikari
Uuu, Ramo-san~!

Ramona
Whoa, be careful not to get the costumes dirty, okay?

Lilja
Nice scene.

Lilja
Take a photo?

Koyomi
Ehhh, you want to take photos while we're in these costumes...!?

Ramona
Oh, that's a good idea.

Ramona
Since we've come this far, let's take some pictures!

Xue
Make sure only you're in the photo. I'm not getting paid for this photoshoot.

Ramona
Don't be so cold, Xue. After you've gone along with us this far.

Xue
Geez, you're too excited.

Xue
Were you actually enjoying the cultural festival more than Hikari?

Ramona
Haha...well, maybe. It was a memorable cultural festival.

Ramona
...If we preserve it in this form, perhaps we won't forget it.

Ramona
Lilja, take a picture right away. I want to send it to my friends in Germany too.
