Ritsu: (Hmm... It's hard to get a read on the Red Knights' situation while their hands are tied with performances.)
(I've been combing through every place they might be...)
(Ugh, but wandering aimlessly all over the school is tiring me out... I just wanna find them already.)
Izumi: Hey juniors, I have to talk to you about something. Got a minute?
Ritsu: (Oh, that voice—it's Secchan. That means they should be just around... ah, here they are.)
(Huh, looks like he's having a talk with all the members of the Red Knights together.)
Izumi: First off, I think I'm at least partially responsible for the confusion caused by some of our members moving to the White Knights' side.
So far, I've been trying to lead the Red Knights by example as your senior. But now, I've decided to drop that approach.
If the Red Knights keep going like this, we'll lose. I don't even know if we'll be able to pass the Underland auditions. That's the one thing we wanna avoid, right?
So instead, I'm going to give you more coaching for your basic skills.
One by one, we'll go through the things you don't understand or can't do very well, and hammer out the kinks. Anybody having trouble, raise your hand!
......
Leo: Total silence, huh? Guess they really are scared of you, Sena!
Well, can't say you don't deserve it!
Okay, what if you guys start with me instead of Sena, then? Who needs some help?
Wahaha! Look at all those hands shooting up! How's that, Sena? Feelin' salty?
Izumi: Shut up, I'm not salty...!
Anyway, there's no time to lose, so we'll help each of you one by one. The student council will be all over us the moment we start performing without permission again, so we have to practice being able to grab people's attention at a glance.
Ritsu: (...What's this? The Red Knights seem different from before...)
(It felt like they were gonna disband any second now, but it looks like the desertions made them rethink things, and now they've changed their approach.)
(Took 'em forever to notice what was happening, but at least they avoided the worst-case scenario. Phew, I'm glad.)
(Okay, so my next step is to...)
...Hey, is this Su~chan? Yeah, I've got something to tell you.
No, there's no trouble. Just something that got my attention.
Do you think we can go a little harder with the White Knights' practice?
Uh-huh. Looks like the Red Knights might give us more trouble than we thought.
There's still two days left... Who knows how powerful the Red Knights could become in that time.
...Okay. Phone call done, so I guess I'll go back to the White Knights now.
I really wanna nap if I have the time, but I might actually not, huh?
Leo: Oh, Rittsu's here?!
Get him, boys! We're not letting this guy go back to the White Knights!
Ritsu: Urgh!
Leo: Come oooon, be a Red Knight with us! We lost people to the White Knights, so this way we can restore the balance and it's perfect! ☆
Ritsu: Is that even allowed?! Look, taking me prisoner isn't gonna help you in any way!
Oh, crap, the juniors have got me surrounded! Grh, I didn't react fast enough!
Izumi: Heh heh heh ♪ You're the one who sicked the student council on us, aren't you, Kuma-kun? ♪
You really dared to pull that move on us, huh? Then at least for today, you can make up for it by coaching the Red Knights instead of the White Knights, right...? ♪
Ritsu: Th-That's a scary smile...!
Leo: Hey don't worry too much, we're not gonna hurt ya! We were just thinking we don't have enough people to teach all these juniors, y'know?
Can't you help us, just for today? It's not often Sena's so eager to teach people! If you miss this, you might never get to see him in action...!
Ritsu: *sigh* Fine, you did capture me, after all... Guess I have no choice but to lend a hand to the Red Knights.
I know how things'll turn out, even if I entertain your weakened team for today, anyway.
I'm not against coaching the Red Knights if it means boosting Knights' overall power, either.
Izumi: Heh. Today's the last day you can look down on us Red Knights.
Once Leo-kun and I give our juniors serious training, we'll blow the White Knights away like paper scraps in the wind.
Ritsu: Heh, trying to provoke me? Bold words for somebody who lost a bunch of soldiers to us ♪
Too bad for you—the White Knights' strength won't be shaken just because I'm not there.
We'll be the winners in the end ♪
