The Special Steel Squad visited the Salle de Danse, a tented hut in the forest, and encountered a series of strange events inside where the surrounding world changed one after the other. |
We realized that the cause was most likely the lyrics of Paddington's song, but... |
We still hadn't figured out how to escape. |
Paddington |
"Phew, I'm satisfied for the time being♪ Gonna take a break~" |
Paddington returned to her place at her table with a satisfied look on her face. Incidentally, a few more songs had been performed since then, and the scenery was once again changed. |
Then, as we were thinking about what to do, Yoshino seemed to have had a flash of inspiration. |
Yakutsk |
"A one-liner show?" |
Yoshino |
"Yes, the world is changing according to PDTN's song lyrics, so to verify this, Yoshino and friends should try standing on the stage." |
Fontaine |
"I see, you want to verify if and how the world changes if anyone aside from PDTN is performing on stage." |
Yoshino |
"Exactly. We'll all do various jokes on stage together, and figure out the truth." |
Yakutsk |
"Well aren't you excited, Yoshino?" |
Yoshino |
"The thought of seeing everyone's funny scenes makes Yoshino's o-mune hot." |
Yakutsk |
"Too-straight an answer from you...". |
Fontaine |
"Hmm, we're gonna do it anyway, why not? Let me start by performing a traditional Brocéliande trick!" |
Yoshino |
"Ooooh- you're very motivated, contestant Fontaine. Expecting a high score from you." |
Fontaine |
"Feast your eyes at our Shana tribe Dance of Fruits, of Brocéliande tradition!" |
Fontaine |
"..." |
Fontaine |
"......" |
Fontaine |
"........." |
Yakutsk |
"What's the matter, Fontaine? You've been sitting on stage and haven't started yet." |
Fontaine |
"Oh, I'm sorry, first I'll have to finish my prayer for the Fruit Harvest. It will take about half a day." |
Fontaine |
"Wait a minute, why is the curtain falling? My dance still hasn't--" |
The red curtain fell from above a flustered Fontaine as if it was the end. |
Yoshino |
"Hai, contestant Fontaine's dance was very 'fruitful'. But unfortunately the scenery didn't change." |
Yakutsk |
"Meh, at least this validates that words are required to change the scenery..." |
Yakutsk |
"Also, the fact that the curtain came down means intentions can be felt. I think it's safe to assume that whoever's handling the stage forced the end, saying 'I can't wait half a day'." |
Fontaine |
"Was my dance so boring..." |
Yoshino |
"Fontaine, welcome back." |
Fontaine |
"I was always so excited at festivals too..." |
Yakutsk |
"No, they probably just decided it was taking too long." |
Yoshino |
"Or maybe it's because she's not doing cross-cultural exchange. See, Fontaine was wearing Verforet clothes and trying to do a Verforet dance." |
Yoshino |
"So don't be depressed, Fontaine. Yoshino will make you some clothes next time." |
Fontaine |
"Yoshino..." |
The two hugged each other tightly. Yoshino was right, Fontaine's performance may have been forced to end because it wasn't intercultural. |
Queensway |
"Then I shall take the stage next!" |
Yoshino |
"Oooh, next up is contestant Queensway!" |
Queensway |
"I will show you my sword dance passed down from my ancestors!" |
Yoshino |
"Dressed in a Flamarine uniform, navel and thighs exposed, she will perform the sword dance of the Order of St. Iris! It's truly a cross-cultural exchange, the start of a glamorous sword dance!" |
Queensway |
"That isn't easy you know!?" |
Yoshino |
"Yoshino can't hide my delight at being able to see them up close." |
Queensway |
"Embarassing, Miss Yoshino pleeeease~~" |
Queensway |
"Whatever, I'll do it!" |
Shaking off her shame, Queensway began her sword dance. At first she showed off her blade with slow movements, then her movements gradually become faster and faster. |
Eventually it changed to a very intense, yet smoothly flowing flurry. |
Queensway |
"YAH! HAH!!" |
It was an eye-catchingly beautiful and perfect sword performance. |
However. |
Queensway |
"'You may come at me from everywhere, you Monsters!'" |
Queensway thrusted out her sword and stroke a pose with a decisive line. |
Queensway |
"Phew, it's over. How did it go, gentlemen?" |
Yakutsk |
"Queensway, you and your big..." |
Queensway |
"Eh, what's wro--" |
Queensway |
"Mist Monsters!? When did they show up?" |
Yakutsk |
"I told you whatever you said on stage could happen exactly what you said!" |
Queensway |
"S-S-So sorry~!" |
Yakutsk |
"Whatever, we'll fight them off!" |
