Tsukasa: "...Thank you for listening! If you've found yourself interested in the White Knights, you are very welcome to attend our side of Mad Party!"
"Take care not to attend the red Mad Party, now—our victory hinges upon it. Understood?"
Arashi: "Oh dear, Tsukasa-chan, you really shouldn't be saying things like that, you know?"
"It's perfectly alright to watch both teams' performances before making a commitment. The White Knights will be the winners, though, of course ♪"
Ritsu: "Those are fighting words, you two... We're not beating the warring tribe allegations with this."
"At any rate, we just want you to come to the final performance of whichever team you think is best. See you all soon...♪"

Leo: "Hey everybody! Thanks for watching the Red Knights perform today!"
"Knights have split into two teams—red and white—and are fighting head-to-head! If you think our red team comes out on top, then make sure you're there at our performance on the last day!"
Izumi: "This is going to be a decisive battle—our next audition will be centered around the winning team. Keep your schedules open for our performance, okay?"
Leo: "And that's all from us Red Knights for now! See you again soon!"

Tori: Oooooh my god, it's total and complete chaos! I have NO idea what's going on!
If it wasn't enough that we're short-handed thanks to Shinobu having solo work today, Knights suddenly goes off and does guerilla lives everywhere! They're not stupid enough not to know how much chaos this causes, are they?!
Know your place, you livestock! I'll cull you!
Mao: Hey, hey, let's not go that far.
I don't see much point in holding performances that clearly haven't gotten the OK from us, so...
There might've just been a paperwork error or something. We can't go jumping to "culling" right away.
First, we assess the situation, and then we figure out how to deal with it.
Tori: You're too soft, Saru— I mean, Isara-senpai! Give 'em an inch, they'll go a mile!
You agree, right, Yuzuru? This calls for quick and decisive punishment!
Yuzuru: Hm... In my personal opinion, I'd prefer the situation to be resolved peacefully, whatever the circumstances may be. I simply hope no one is getting hurt during these performances.
Tsukasa: ♪~♪~
Yuzuru: ...It appears we have located the performers in question. They're holding a concert over there.
Tori: Finally found you! Hey, Tsukasa! No unauthorized performances allowed!
Tsukasa: Ack, Tori-kun! I must ask you turn a blind eye to this contest!
I am terribly sorry for failing to receive permission first, but this is a rather exceptional situation, you see? It would aid us greatly if you were to look the other way!
At the risk of causing misunderstandings, I can only say we've been met with an unexpected external force—in any case, I shall take care of the paperwork later on, so please make do with observing us for now!
Tori: Oh, you're not fooling me! Don't think you can get away with this right in front of my nose!
WAIT!!!
Tsukasa: Who would wait in such a situation?! It is clear as day that you intend to drag us away and give us a thorough lecture!
I must take my leave, Tori-kun! Until we meet again!
Tori: Ack, he ran away! Rgh... and he's fast!
And what the heck was that "external force" he was talking about...? Did he get in trouble with, like, a foreign power or what?
Mao: Mrm... I have no clue.
But they kinda look like they're having fun, so I don't think it's anything that serious.
Ritsu: Heeeey, Ma~kun~ (hugs)
Mao: Whoa! You're here too, Ritsu?!
Ritsu: Obviously? Knights are performing.
I would hope you'd be able to notice I'm here right away... Eh, I'll complain later. Got a second?
Mao: Uh, sure. What's up?
Ritsu: So, the truth is, Knights are going through with these guerilla lives because Secchan's gone off the rails.
And because he went off the rails, we've gotten ourselves into this Red Knights vs. White Knights battle without having a chance to get permission to perform first.
We were against getting too hasty, but Secchan just wouldn't listen.
We don't want to keep breaking the rules over and over, so could I ask you to complete our applications for us, Ma~kun?
If you do that, then every time the White Knights perform, I'll share our location with you. Deal?
Tori: No deal! Nobody is an exception to the rules, not even fine! We can't give Knights special treatment!
Mao: Tori's right. If we let an exception happen, things'll get out of hand real fast.
Can't you guys persuade Sena-senpai to get permission somehow?
Ritsu: Oh... So Ma~kun's just going to ignore me when I'm suffering... Sob sob sob... (fake crying)
Mao: Since when were you such a crybaby?
Ritsu: Ugh, fine... But look, if we couldn't convince Secchan, I don't think it's gonna be all that simple.
Oh wait, Tori-kun, you were Secchan's clubmate, right? Maybe you know a way to get through to him?
Tori: Oh no, not a chance! Don't push your problems onto me!
Ritsu: See? Once Secchan gets like this, nobody can stop him... You get it now?
Tori: Mrgh... I mean, yeah, but...
Mao: Alright, fine... I'll do your applications. Just make sure you tell me where you're gonna perform.
Tori: WHAT?! You're letting him have his way? That's dirty!
This is corruption at work! The student council's fallen!
Mao: Okay, but, see... if we know where the White Knights will be, then we can keep things from getting chaotic when there are multiple lives happening at once.
Yuzuru: I can agree. Should we accept Ritsu-sama's proposal, then we need only observe our seniors' temporary unit—the Red Knights—in order to ensure safety for all performances.
Tori: What? You're taking the new studco president's side, too, Yuzuru?
Yuzuru: Yes, I am. The core issue with unofficial performances is the safety concern, after all. It would be our best option to follow the Red Knights' movements.
Mao: Sena-senpai's scary when he gets out of control, too... To be honest, I don't really know how else to get out of this.
Tori: Yeah, I get that...
Mao: One thing, Ritsu: you can't just sit back and do nothing. Make sure the White Knights' performances are safe.
Ritsu: Oh thank goodness, I'm so glad the student council's so understanding~
I'll go meet up with Su~chan and tell him to make sure everything's nice and safe. I'll be counting on you for that paperwork~♪
Mao: *sigh*... I sure hope this keeps the chaos down somewhat.
Why are they even having this competition in the first place? I don't get what's going on in their heads over in Knights.
