Madara: Everyone gather around!
Madara: Alright, move nimbly! Put in some passion! Time won't wait for you!
Madara: The "Wisteria Festival" guests are already seated, so bring up your motivation!
Madara: What do you think, Anzu-chan? If there's a fault, tell us! It's still not too late, hahaha!
Madara: If there's no problems, gather around! Form a large circle and give it your all ♪
Arashi: You're really excited, Mama....... If you jump around like that now, you'll get tired quickly, you know?
Madara: It's fine, it's fine! I have unlimited energy! Even if I use up all my power, I'll keep standing with the power of will! Hahahaha ☆
Arashi: It might be fine for you, Mama, but I'm telling you to please not drag us around with you.
Arashi: Really, working with you is always tiring, so I don't like doing it.
Arashi: Anyway, it's fine. The "Knights" style was already dyed into me before I realized it.........
Arashi: So sometimes I want to do a completely different type of live.
Arashi: If I focus too long on one thing, I won't be able to adapt to changes in the environment.
Madara: Right. It's exactly as you said, Arashi-san.
Madara: By participating in a live with a completely different lineup than usual, I want each person....... everyone to positively influence each other.
Madara: Hahaha! But really, your outfit suits you well, Arashi-san! You beauty!
Madara: But actually, would something more princess-like suit you better?
Arashi: Mmm~, I can just wear that sort of thing in private.
Arashi: On stage, I'll wear the clothes that suit me best... the ones people want me to wear.
Arashi: It's more fashionable that way, right...... ♪
Madara: I think you should just wear what you want though. Were you someone who cared so much, Arashi-san.......?
Madara: I guess it's fine, that way of living just makes Arashi-san look super duper cool ♪
Arashi: Ah, that's where you say "super beautiful".
Adonis: Captain....... The uniform, am I wearing it properly? I'm not used to wearing traditional-style clothes, so I'm not confident.
Madara: Yup! You look great, Adonis-san! Yo, you hunk...... ☆
Adonis: Captain always agrees to anything and everything, so I can't take your opinion seriously.
Adonis: Kanzaki should be knowledgeable in traditional clothing...... I'd like it if you could point out any strange spots.
Souma: Fufufu. It suits you well, Adonis-dono. Really, you're so good-looking anyone could fall for you.
Arashi: Oh? Souma-chan's the only one wearing a special outfit, how unfair~!
Souma: Even if you say it's "unfair"....... I only wore what was assigned to me, Narukami-dono.
Souma: It feels strangely familiar to me, I rather like it.
Madara: Yup. That's because I ordered it - the clothes - from a textiles store that deals with your family. It feels like an outfit you'd wear "every day", right?
Madara: The design came from Anzu-san though, since she's close to all of you.
Madara: It hasn't been long since she transferred here, but I'm sure she already knows a lot more about all of you than me.
Madara: In any case. I've said this many times, but this year's "Wisteria Festival" theme is the Battle of Dannoura.
Madara: We're not acting, so there's a casual atmosphere, but everyone has their own roles to play.
Madara: The differences in outfits come from the roles each of you play, but there's barely any differences in how long you get to be on stage. So it's all fair.
Madara: Of course, those with special outfits will easily steal the audience's gazes though.
Madara: If you fail, the more attention you get, the more embarrassment you'll feel. Isn't it fun, this high risk and return ♪
Madara: By the way, I'm Musashibou and I think Souma-san was...... Ushiwakamaru*?
*T/N: "Ushiwakamaru" is the childhood name for "Yoshitsune", the commander of the Minamoto (Genji) clan that fought in the Battle of Dannoura.
Adonis: Cow? Are we doing a story about beef?
Souma: A legendary hero, it was Minamotokurou Yoshitsune's childhood name. Wasn't he a key figure in the Battle of Dannoura.......?
Souma: Would I be able to succeed in such a great role?
Madara: It's fine, you can succeed. Don't be uncertain, just work hard to perform at a level higher than your limit.
Madara: On the off case that you fail, it'll be a good experience. You'll grow a bit more*, you know.
*T/N: Actual Japanese is "you can peel off one more layer" and there was no other way to properly express this, so, uh, I apologize if it sounds off.
Souma: So cocky....... coming from a problem child who tried to disrupt Yumenosaki Academy's order.
Souma: I still find it puzzling how Hasumi-dono so easily gave me permission to partake in such an insolent person's plans.
Souma: By any chance, are you close to Hasumi-dono?
Madara: Ahhh, we used to make a lot of trouble in the past......
Madara: Though if I had to pick, I'd say that I'm a lot closer to Leo-san, who caused a ruckus with Keito-san and I. Though that guy did sometimes help me out.
Madara: I didn't mean to cash out on a favor though.
Madara: Maybe because of all that, Keito-san overlooks me....... to a certain degree.
Madara: Nah, it could be because I took over Rei-san's battles overseas......
Madara: In any case, I'm glad that Souma-san's able to participate in the "Wisteria Festival".
Madara: Let's do our best today too, carrying the mikoshi together...... ♪
Souma: I have no intention to get along with you. But, well, for now, I'll be judging what kind of creature you are.
Souma: If I determine that you're an adversary to Hasumi-dono's rule, I will mercilessly cut you down.
Madara: How scary. I'll be somewhat careful so that I can avoid the tearful separation of my head and torso.
Arashi: Fufu. Really, you two do feel like Musashibou and Ushiwakamaru....... They were enemies when they met, but one day, they might become lifelong friends.
Arashi: It's some~how romantic ♪
Arashi: Fufu. As expected of Mama's orders. They seem sketchy, but he's always surprisingly attentive......
Arashi: "Meddling" here and there, acquiring both personality and talent, then placing them in appropriate spots.
Arashi: But be careful, Souma-chan. That's how a protagonist acts.......
Arashi: If you just follow the flow, you'll somehow end up as a supporting actor.
Arashi: You'll get gobbled up by him, completely ♪
