Character Scenario/The Primaria Doesn't Give Up 3

Episode 2 synopsis. The duel between Palermo and Napoli has finally begun, with Palermo dominating the first round.
Palermo	"--I guess I lost."
The next round was a cooking duel. The suggestion was made by me, I was secretly overheard by Termini and she urged me to do so.
Palermo	"It was a fair and honest contest. This time I'll admit defeat without complaints."
Palermo	"But. This is one win and one loss, and we don't know who the eventual winner will be. It's going to be fun - no, it's going to be very interesting."
Messina	"I'd like this to end early if possible though... Primaria, I didn't know you weren't good at cooking. That's rather surprising."
Palermo	"It's not that I'm not good at it, it's more that I don't have any experience. I never studied or trained in that area."
Termini	"Hmmhmm. I thought that would be the case, I thought that at your age, Palermo, competent as you are, you wouldn't have much knowledge or experience outside of your area of expertise."
Termini	"If one's single-minded and dedicated to one path. Everything else must be left behind. As such, at your age, you wouldn't have been able to achieve that level of competence."
Termini	"On the other hand, Napolitan isn't so focused, but rather she tries everything that interests her - and she acquires skills that you don't expect."
Napoli	"Mamma mia☆ Everyone should eat pizza! Today's pizza is made with whitefish, Pizza Sotterranea Di Mare sì!"
Termini	"Hmmhmm. You've grown up a lot, Napolitan. When we first met you, you didn't even know what a pizza was."
Napoli	"Eheheh~♪ It's because Saggia taught me sì!"
Palermo	"...I'll be honest. It's kind of a no-show this time."
Palermo	"I did my best to remember the recipe from my hazy memory, and I cooked it slowly and carefully, using exactly the right amount of ingredients--"
Palermo	"I just ran out of time and lost. If there wasn't a time limit, I would have won. Hmph."
Termini told me to set a time limit, which is what I suggested. She must have expected this development. I don't know what her intention was.
Termini	"Intentions? Of course, it's to get us to continue this fun duel more. Now there's both a win and a lose each, and the third game that follows will settle the matter."
Termini	"So, with all due respect, I'd like to propose my match... Come on Napolitan, you can eat later."
Napoli	"Aawaaw. But~ want to eat it while it's still warm sì."
Palermo	"I'm willing to do whatever you want. I'm open to anything. Come on, make a proposal."
Termini	"Good courage♪ then I'll propose the contents of the third round, okay?"
Termini	"'The one who can seduce ragazzo Conductor better wins'♪."
Palermo	"......"
Messina	"Ah, she completely froze. Primaria isn't good with that side of things."
Napoli	"Eh? Eh? Seduce? What is that sì?"
Termini	"You can make ragazzo Conductor lust after you by taking off your clothes and doing sexy poses♪"
Palermo	"Y-, y- yo-, y- yo yo."
Termini	"The one who does that better will be the winner of round 3 and the winner of this duel at the same time. Do you understand, both of you?"
Napoli	"Uh-uh~uh~? Don't know what's going on...?"
Palermo	"--VERGOGNAAAAAAAA!!!!"
Napoli	"Shocking sì!?"
Palermo	"Wha, wha-wha, What the Hell! This is impossible, unforgivable, vergogna!"
Termini	"Why?"
Palermo	"Be-Because! I don't know! Why do I have to-to se, se~seduce the Conductor! That's unacceptable, vergogna!"
Termini	"Again, why? To make ragazzo Conductor fall for you, in other words, to be loved by him-- This means that you get more Iron."
Termini	"And the more Iron we Train Knights get, the stronger we become. The better we perform, the better we are."
Palermo	"I-I see the logic! Such an excellent person deserves to be Maestra Termini's apprentice! That's what you're saying, isn't it? But, ugh~!?"
Napoli	"? That means, just have to take off clothes, sì? Striscia, striscia♪"
Palermo	"S-stop that! You should be ashamed of yourself! vergogna!"
Napoli	"But, aren't we playing games sì? What's wrong with Napoli sì?"
Palermo	"You're not wrong, though... It makes sense, and the Iron Injection is a thankless miracle by the Divine Child, and it's definitely not a heinous act to be ashamed of."
Palermo	"If-if I hesitate here, it means I've lost! I absolutely don't want that, no way...!"
Palermo	"I am the one who deserves to be Maestra Termini's disciple! I will prove it by winning this duel!"
Messina	"If you can't do it, you can give up you know, Primaria?"
Palermo	"Never! Keep your mouth shut, Signorina Messina! This is my duel!"
Messina	"If you don't want me to interfere, then don't involve me in the first place...?"
Palermo	"Hoooooh, haaaah... Hoooooh, haaaah... Very well, I've calmed down. I've reconstructed my theoretical armaments. Let's do this."
Termini	"Ahaha, keep it up, keep it up♪"
Messina	"Please don't make things worse, Maestra...?"
Termini	"Heheh. Let's set a time limit, just like the previous cooking duel. Seduce ragazzo Conductor as much as you can within a certain amount of time."
Termini	"Afterwards, we'll ask ragazzo Conductor to tell us which one of you two he lusted after more, for a score out of 100 or something. Whoever gets more points wins."
Palermo	"Okay! I understand the rules! Huff, puff...!"
Conductor	There's no need to force yourself to continue with these stupid duels, Palermo, because I've seen similar accounts before, and I think Termini is simply just being silly and teasing.
Conductor	You'll look like a fool if you take her seriously.
Palermo	"Shut up! I'll take this seriously! That's what I'm good at!"
Palermo, absolutely red in the face, pushed past everyone else and comes riding up on me, breathing hard, as if she was excited.
Palermo	"Huff, puff~! I won't make the same mistake I made in the cooking duel! What I should avoid above all else is running out of time!"
Palermo	"I'll do everything I can to get laid within the time limit...!"
Palermo	"I will definitely become a disciple of Maestra Termini! To reclaim the lost home of my kind, the Ancient Kingdom Sitiria!"
Napoli	"......"
The desperate Palermo did not seem to notice, but Napoli saw her and took a step back. Was she pushed by her spirit or struck by Palermo's words?
Palermo	"Come on, I'll give you special permission just this once! We're going to do some very vergogna things, Signore Conductor."
Overflowing, Palermo brought her face closer to me. She then held my head in her trembling hands and kissed me on the cheek.
Palermo	"...Chuuuuuu☆"
Palermo	"--PWAAAH! I, I can't do this anymore! I can't do any of this it's vergogna!"
Palermo burst into tears and rolled away in a jujutsu-like tumble. Her clothes were dishevelled and covered in mud, and her reaction was rather comical--
I was impressed by her hard attempt to achieve her goal. Even if I wasn't lusting after her, I wanted to give her a perfect score.
Napoli	"......♪"
Napoli may be feeling the same way, looking at Palermo respectfully and not moving. Does it mean that she has given up on the duel?
Palermo	"Now, it's your turn, Signorina Napoli! Go ahead and do your vergogna things, do whatever you want!"
Napoli	"Nuh~nuh, Napoli has already received lots and lots."
Napoli	"If you really want 'that', Signorina Palermo, you can have it -- Give it to you sì♪"
Palermo	"But! It doesn't matter what you do! I will win this duel!"
Napoli's voice doesn't seem to reach the excited Palermo, as she twisted her gloved hands together before slamming them into the ground.
Palermo	"Thanks to the kikiki-kiss earlier! I was able to obtain Conductor's data! I will 'convert' what I have obtained and transmute it into something that will bring me victory!"
Palermo	"I will show you the depths of alchemy! Human transmutation...!"
Immediately after that, countless "Conductors" sprang up from the ground.
Messina	"Woah, so many Conductors are growing out of the ground! So disgusting!?"
Conductor	'So disgusting' is mean.
Messina	"Ah! So-sorry, okay? But, this is a blatantly bizarre sight and...?"
Messina	"Wha-What did you do this for? Primaria?"
Palermo	"Naturally, it's for the win."
Palermo	"Maestro Termini said earlier. Conductor will see how much he lusted after me or Napoli, and give a score out of 100."
Palermo	"And the one who gets more points is the winner. Only Conductor has the right to score, but there is no rule that says we can't have more than one Conductor like that."
Termini	"Mhm. True, what Palermo said is right."
Palermo	"Of course, the mass-produced Conductors I have alchemically transmuted are programmed to say what is convenient for me."
Palermo	"Come on, grade me! Who did you lust for more, me or Signorina Napoli!?"
Mass-Produced Conductor	"Of course, Palermo gets a perfect score of 100!"
Mass-Produced Conductor	"The part where she was ashamed and desperately trying to seduce him was very erotic! 100 points!"
Mass-Produced Conductor	"In case nobody noticed, she was trying to take her clothes off and couldn't, so she teased by rolling them up just a little bit. 100 points."
Mass-Produced Conductor	"Aah! That's when I peeked at her cute navel! 100 points!'
Mass-Produced Conductor	"Tits, 100 points! Ass, 100 points! Face, 100 points! Everything is 100...!"
Palermo	"Just grade! You don't have to give me feedback or anything! Just grade me! Vergogna!"
Palermo	"B-But? So? What do you think? I guess I win round three now!"
Palermo	"That means I win this duel! Will you follow the rules and make me your disciple - Maestra Termini!?"
Termini	"Ahahahahaha☆"
Termini	"Aha~ that's interesting. Yes, I wasn't interested in you at first, but I could really make you my regular disciple."
Termini	"I too, am starting to get to know you better."
Palermo	"R-Really? I'm so happy! I'm going to be a disciple that you'll be proud of, Maestra Termini!"
Termini	"No, I don't see that in your future."
Palermo	"Eh...?"
Termini	"You are already complete. You are already a self-taught alchemist, a very good alchemist who has reached the depths of human transmutation."
Termini	"And yet you have not become conceited, you have worked hard. You have used your wits, followed the rules and even won a fair duel."
Palermo	"Yes, I did! That's why, I'm your disciple--"
Termini	"No. I have nothing more to teach you."
Termini	"The teacher's role is to fill in the gaps in their students. The teacher's role is to fill in what the student lacks, to develop what they are not developing. To make up for what is lacking."
Termini	"Because of that. I should make the loser, not the winner of the duel, my disciple."
Termini	"To reach out to the defeated, inferior child and nurture them. Teach them... That's what a teacher really wants to do."
Palermo	"Ah, ah...!"
Termini	"That was my intention from the very beginning. So, in light of the results of this duel, I will not take you as my disciple."
Termini	"I will remain Napolitan's Maestra, who she needs more help than you."
Palermo	"I read that wrong! You're right, that's what a master and an apprentice are like! And yet, I'm so focused on the immediate victory...!"
Messina	"You know~ Maestra Termini is still talking nonsense and I don't think you need to take her seriously. Why don't you just ask her to make you a regular pupil?"
Palermo	"No, I don't deserve that. I've won the duel and lost the match."
Palermo	"--Signorina Napoli."
Napoli	"Huh? Ah, yes! What is it sì?"
Palermo	"You won, for today!"
Napoli	"Eh? Eh? Really? Napoli, isn't really following the conversation sì!"
Palermo	"But, you have to remember! I will never give up, one day I WILL BECOME MAESTRA TERMINI'S DISCIPLEEEEEE!"
Having said all she wanted to say while sobbing, Palermo dashed off at a great speed.
Palermo	"WAAAAAGH~! I'm so frustrated, frustrated! But I will use this defeat to grow stronger! Someday, I will reclaim Ancient Kingdom Sitiria...!"
While seeing off Palermo from the back, we smiled wryly about how serious and talented she is, and how she will surely fulfil her purpose some day.
