Y-You're… Good luck, Yuka! Who is that? Union's secret weapon? The time is set for 10 minutes! The side that deals a K.O., or holds more overall points at the end, will secure the victory. What are you doing here, after suddenly vanishing? Well um... I guess things just ended up like this. I may have been mistaken for someone else… You pretended not to know? So, you tricked me… Unfortunately, I don't intend on holding back against an opponent. Huh…? Well… Umm… Our exhibition is moments away! W-What!? W-We're suddenly in outer space! I-I need to find oxygen…! Yuka-chan! It's just a texture, you can breathe normally! Oh, you're right. Now, please prepare your weapons! Hold on, I'll get you changed now! Wow! T-This is amazing! My clothes suddenly changed! Let's move on to your weapon! It's so light and easy to move! However… Doesn't her weapon seem… overwhelmingly better? Well, you're up against a champion. No way! Both sides are ready, now then… Start the bout! You're not getting away! Is that girl a complete beginner? We really don't stand a chance! And she's fighting Chikage Fujimura, of all people… I told you I wouldn't hold back. I can't dodge anything…! This will… finish it! Yuka-chan, watch out for her follow-up attack! She did it again… Could she really be their secret weapon? I see… I can defend like this… You've got this! Go on the offense, Yuka-chan! Ah… Right! She had me for a moment, but it looks like this is her best… Chikage! Got it! Keep it up, you're doing great! It's starting to make sense, I should be fine if I pay attention! Then… How about this! A perfect block? She couldn't have… A technique that allows you to punish your opponent by flawlessly guarding at a specific moment… I've heard rumors about it, but for that girl to be able to… That caught me off guard… It's been a while since I got excited. Yeah, this is really exciting! All right… This time, I'll show you something new. Huh…? Okay…! Let's continue this someday. What is she planning to do!? Chikage! You can't use that yet! I need to see things through! Umm… I-I-I'm sorry! I'll finally be able to attend. St. Union I transferred all the way here… All right, let's do this! One point! That's far enough! Thanks, Miyuki! You really saved us! Don't sweat it, this works as great publicity for me, as well. Ayumu, you get all that? Ayumu! could you upload that last match video. One step ahead of you. That said, who decided on these textures? Oh that, it's all about old fashioned scenery now. That's the new trend apparently. I never understood that retro obsession. But you're still rocking a keyboard. Because programming is easier with this… Programming? Generally, it's easier to just rely on an optimizing compiler, and it rarely crosses anyone's mind. However, manually optimizing code is faster for me. I'm not really sure what you're talking about… Basically, I just feel like it. That's it… Man, I'm exhausted… I may have overdone it this week. We've been to the judo, soccer, tennis, and futsal club. But, we've got to push through this to revive our club! Yeah... Well, that doesn't look too obtainable right now. Don't worry! We're steadily gaining views, too! If we keep this up, we'll eventually generate as much as that cheap video. Cheap video, huh… I just don't get it... It was such a good match, but then they suddenly vanished… It doesn't make sense. Well, I don't know what they're up to now, But I'm challenging them straight away if we ever meet! "Circlet Bout Special Event" A legendary match, Chikage Fujimura's first pinch? Please let go! My grandmother in Wakayama gave this to me! These umeboshi have been fermented for 20 years! Loitering on school grounds. Suspicion. Acquiring unidentified object. Please present your student ID. I told you! I don't have one yet! Unable to verify ID. Advancing case to security level "yellow". Please state campus visit intention within 60 seconds. All right, hold on a second. She's in the same year as us. I've never seen her around before… T-Thank you so much! You really saved me back there! You registered here… Recently. Oh, about that, it took some time to finally convince my parents… Really, so that's why. You haven't joined any clubs since it's your first day, huh? T-That's correct! Then, just hop in our club! Lucky for you, we're recruiting new members! I-I can't do that! I can't join your club right now! What's the big deal, we just saved you! Those are two completely different matters! I can't join! You're a stubborn girl… All right, I get it! I'll invite you again tomorrow, so you better be ready to join! Okay! I can't join your club, but I'll prepare for your invitation! You two really get along… Student Council Room In meeting Student Delegate Reina Kuroda Wait, what did you just say? There is no Circlet Bout club at this school. U-Umm… Could I get that one more time? Enough! My response isn't changing. There is currently no Circlet Bout club at St. Union Academy! But! I'm certain this school was famous for its Circlet Bout club! That was in the past, you may head home now. No, that can't be right! Just two years ago, this school was unbelievable! The club doesn't exist! It's about time you accepted that. W-What are you doing!? I don't understand! Why you…! It's time for you to leave! I can't go yet! We're not finished talking! Leave! Excuse me! You moving in here? Ah, thank you for earlier! So you'll be in this dorm, as well. Yes, I'm looking forward to staying here! Hold on… Is she…! If that's true... This could turn into something big! We encountered a system error. Letting that move loose in this current system isn't possible. But, there weren't any issues during the test. Chikage. We'll postpone our match. Right! The battle has just begun, and these maidens have risen to the stage. Now is the time to awaken from my slumber, and once again ta- W-Wait, hold on…! What's with this noisy place! Next time, Episode 2 "Starting Mind". ▶ [RyuujiTK] Circlet Princess - 02 [1080p] We'll postpone our match. Right! We're currently restarting our system. We ask that you remain seated until then. Umm… How far are we walking? How old are you? Huh!? Huh… Y-Your voice!? Time is of the essence, spit it out! I'm 14! I see… You're 14… I'd prefer if you were a bit younger… However, your reaction time is impeccable… If only you were a bit younger… Just a little younger… Slightly younger… I ran into a pervert… So, it's true that they're all around Tokyo…! Ah, what should I do with her… I need to get out of here! Hold it! We're not finished! Unfortunately, I have some business to attend to… Just cast that aside! You've been chosen as a superb test subject, that will reach a new stage for humanity! The thing is, I need to head back to Wakayama before the evening… I'm really sorry, but I can't! Don't you wish to battle her once again? Huh? You should have experienced it during your previous match. The world that lies beyond your limits. Beyond my limits… My whole body was on fire, but I felt so light, like I was flying around the sky. My body would react before I could even think… I could experience that again… That's right! A level that has yet to be attained! Expanding the possibilities of one's potential! That's circlet bout, and the power of MR Technology! Circlet bout… Take this. That will eventually reunite you with Chikage Fujimura. Oh, there you are, Yuka-chan! Listen, don’t give up simply because you can’t do something! If you can't achieve something, work until you can! Now then, farewell! Are you all right, Yuka-chan? Yuka-chan? If I can't achieve something, I'll work until I can! So I can meet her again! St. Union What business do you have here? I want to play circlet bout! Have you forgotten about our previous discussion? The club's closure has already been decided! I'll just remake it then! Rejected. Why not! A circlet bout club is unnecessary at Union! There's your answer. You're such a stingy delegate! You're heartless! You big meanie! Regardless of what you say, I can't approve it! It's fine! I'll just make one anyway! M-My legs went numb…! I already told you! It's rejected! There isn't a club… And I can't get the approval to make a new one… How am I going to start circlet bout… REJECTED Is something up? That. Transfer Student – Yuka Sasaki So, she's in our class, as well. Where is she? No clue. More importantly, can we talk? What!? That transfer student!? You're being too loud. Sorry… But, are you sure? Two years ago, at the convention center. She could be our mysterious newcomer. No way! If someone that famous joins our team, it'll definitely stir up some discussions! We haven't confirmed it yet… Just drag her to our club room! Make something up that sounds convincing. Where are you going? To see Reina. With more members, she'll have to officially approve our club. But class is starting… How am I supposed to convince her into coming… Aizawa-san! REJECTED Let's play circlet bout together! Huh? Entry Prohibited Student Council Have a seat wherever you'd like. Wow, this is so cool! Is this all for circlet bout? Our club? Who told you about it? I saw the poster! Oh, that… Jeez, if you were in the circlet bout club, you should have said something! Well, at least I don't have to worry about bringing you here… I can finally start playing circlet bout! Though, it took me two years… There's something I'd like you to watch. Come on, isn't it okay now? Retract the closure! Throw in a club budget while you're at it, and we're set! How far do you plan on following me? You see, we're on the verge of gaining two new members. If you come back too, we can participate in the Princess Cup again… That doesn't concern me. Why not!? Didn't you come here to play circlet bout!? The same school as her…! I told you, that's none of my concern! Stingy Reina! You're heartless! You and your lewd body! What!? Entry Prohibited Student Council Stupid Reina! She's always so full of it, just because she's got a nice rack… I doubt those are related. Oh, you're showing it to her. Yeah, that video. I-I had no idea this existed… What, there was a mix-up? I'm really sorry! No, it's my fault for not properly confirming anything… But, sending out an unregistered athlete may be problematic… Anyway, this little secret is between us! So, isn't that you? Y-Y-You're mistaken… Is she trying to play it off like that? I guess she wants to keep it a secret. Let's just leave it at that? T-That aside! A circlet bout club actually existed! The delegate I spoke with said it shut down! Don't listen to anything Reina says! Huh? Don’t worry. Allow us to formally welcome you into the circlet bout club. I'm Ayumu Aizawa. Feel free to call me Ayumu. And this is, Miyuki Kasahara. I'm Yuka Sasaki! Have some, to celebrate our meeting! What's that? Umeboshi from my grandmother! Why not? Yeah… I thought I was a goner… My cheeks are still tingling... I'm glad you enjoyed them! That circlet you're wearing… Oh, you mean this? A perver- No, wait! I received it from a strange person! A strange person… They said I'd be reunited with her if I had this… hmm... Ayumu? Huh, oh no, it's nothing. More importantly, we need to get her registered. Which means we're headed there, huh! For the closure of a club with insufficient members, and relinquishing a sports related scholarship. I've mostly completed the groundwork. However, I'm still in the process of convincing a few students… My apologies for putting you through all of this, Reina-kun. It's fine. Things were wonderful while your sister was around… The school was so lively. Good thing we nabbed the key from Reina's place. This is a bit restrictive… Stop complaining, that's all we have. You and your fat ass. It's a normal size! Everything's set. Wow, what is this? What are you saying, it's MR. Really? MR is capable of all this! Mixed Reality, a hybrid world. The technology merges real world elements with virtual ones, for processing information. By utilizing a circlet, a mixed environment is created, to enhance one's surroundings. Through biometric verification, it also serves as a secure authentication method. Really, that's unbelievable! Why are you so oblivious? Aren't you using that circlet? I guess it was obvious, your circlet is still offline. I can't even access it, due to its protection. What!? I'm surprised you managed to get by like that! There's never been much use for it back home. How far out were you… For starters, let's disable that protection, so we can get you online and registered. You can do that? Absolutely. Well, I'm already done. Wow! All right, let's get started then! Materialize your weapon. If you don’t have one, we can load up some practice data and- I have one! I have a weapon! Come out, please! It's huge! Which brand is that? I've never seen this! And there's no logo… There isn't a custom base either… It's completely original… I've never seen any of this before… That circlet really is… strange! Well, once we get started, everything will make sense! Come on, what's wrong? You can't reflect something that simple? Okay, let's pick things up a bit! Really? Here I come! Seriously? You can't just throw out swings like that... If you leave yourself open, you'll be stuck on the receiving end! You'll hit harder with a weapon that big, but it's easier to take advantage of! Is that weapon really a good fit for you? I knew this was fun… This is a real circlet bout match! Looks like you're fired up! She's fast! No way!? You three! What are you doing! Unexcused absences, in addition to the unauthorized use of a school facility. As a result, the three of you are hereby placed under house arrest! Use this following day to reflect on your actions! Ahh! I can’t focus! Hello? Ayumu, I've got a small request. All right, got it. I'll handle it, talk to you later. Are you taking a bath, too? Nope, just finished. Have a good night. U-Um… Could we talk for a moment? Huh? Sorry, I haven't finished unpacking. Would you like one? I'm fine, I just brushed my teeth… Okay. Delicious! I feel super energized! You mind if I ask you something? Hm? What is it? Why are you so fixed on playing circlet bout? That's because there's someone I want to battle against again! Is that… Back home, I couldn't play circlet bout, let alone use this… Before I knew it, two years went by! You never considered giving up? If I can't achieve something, I'll work until I can! That's why I'll never give up! St. Union Academy We're currently searching for new circlet bout members! If you're interested, feel free to chat with me! What is that idiot up to? I'm from the circlet bout club! We'd love to have you! She's really got some old-fashioned methods… Here, please have this! Did you already finish that? Thank you so much! Yeah, but now I'm about to pass out… We're currently recruiting new members! Oh, are you interested in the club? Secure her! Ah! Save me! Challenge, Trust, Ambition Unauthorized recruitment is forbidden. Please give me permission then! That's not happening, I can only permit clubs that have been officially recognized. Please officially approve our club then! I can only recognize your club after you've gathered five members, and it's approved during a council meeting. Unbelievable, you're back to causing trouble the moment your house arrest ends… Kuroda-kun, we have a problem! Executive Director, what happened? A-About that… What!? So, what business could you possibly have with us today? Miss Delegate! Your circlet bout club has received a request for a practice match. I got that last video up! Way to go, Ayumu! Pay attention when others are speaking! That's correct, apparently the other party witnessed footage. Nice going, Ayumu! Under normal circumstances, we would have declined… Our club is basically back in business! I told you to pay attention! Where is the request coming from? That's right, which school? Takamori Academy. Takamori!? That's not where she attended… Is Takamori a strong school? You're really that clueless? While Takamori Academy's display last year wasn’t remarkable, they've created quite the reputation after their generational shift. They'd be placed second in Tokyo. You seem to know your stuff, Reina. I-It's just common knowledge! Oh please, aren't you really just dying to play with us? In circlet bout. After all, your sister was- Enough! You never admit anything… number two… second… So, if we beat that Morimori place, we'll get to battle the strongest school! Why would you assume that? Huh? Doesn't beating the second strongest, mean we get to face the top school? What gave you that idea… You're unbelievable… What… huh!? Practice matches don't qualify as official games. Furthermore, it isn't Morimori Academy. We've received a response from Union Academy. They intend to accept our practice invitation. That's great. Why would you request a practice match right before the Princess Cup? Especially against Union Academy… That's precisely why. We'll use this to keep our regulars motivated. Take a look at their member list. Reina Kuroda… Wait, Kuroda? You don't mean! Ayana Kuroda's younger sister. The player that steered Union to victory… I never knew she had a sister. This all makes sense now, it'll serve as a great incentive for our regulars. A great incentive... You've got that right. Facing Takamori, straight out the gate… Well, it's a practice match, it'll just be a learning experience… That reminds me, do you have enough resources? Just barely… We burned through a bunch just trying to materialize Yuka's weapon. You greedy little black hole! Hurry up and toss that circlet out, so we can get you something normal! Hey, cut it out! It's unladylike to cause a commotion during meals! Have some shame! It talked!? Simply disgraceful… Woken up by a bunch of school girls, then treating a noble, such as myself, like mere trash! What? You wish to become stronger? Enough with your nonsense, young girl! Next time, Episode 3 "Surprise Player". ▶ [RyuujiTK] Circlet Princess - 03 [1080p] Hey, cut it out! It's unladylike to cause a commotion during meals! Have some shame! I-It talked!? I-I had no idea this little thing could talk! Voice recognition has been obsolete for a while. Oh, really? Doesn't that thing seem dangerous? You really should toss it out… I couldn't! I'll admit it's somewhat creepy, but I can't just completely abandon it! How rude! Do you know what I am!? That's why we're so confused… Ah, a fine question! I'm a top-class battle AI, that dwells within this circlet. You've got some outdated functions for something top-class… Wha-! That thing is definitely bad news… You fools! P-Please calm down, I don't plan on throwing you away! Of course you won't! Without fail, everyone of my previous users have become unrivaled forces! R-Right… Honestly, now I'm stuck with some little brat like you. Calling me outdated and considering throwing me out! You lack even an ounce of decency! U-Umm… What is it! Y-You don't need to get so upset… I'm not upset. What do you need? If you've got something to say, speak up. Well, Mr. Weapon, you can make any of your users stronger, right? That's impossible. What!? B-But I want to become stronger! What do you wish to train, then? Huh? Reaction time? Offensive strength? Or possibly, strategic decisions? Hm… I'll take everything! You think these are some ramen toppings!? This isn't even worth discussing! B-But, I'll never see her again unless I improve everything… I don't care, we're done here! Please wait! I'll really be in trouble! Whoa, hey! Let go of me! I honestly won't know what to do! I have to get stronger! Unhand me! Unhand me! The level of security is amazing… Oh well, I'll just save it for later. Are you looking into Yuka's circlet? It's an unusual model. I can't help being curious. Is it that crazy? Well, they normally function through neural activity now. Voice recognition today is just bizarre. I don't really get it, but who cares? It looks like she's having a great time, too. Shouldn't our top priority be this upcoming game? Yeah. Takamori is pretty popular… I'm sure they'll attract a crowd, too. I just hope we don't screw up, and hurt our reputation further… You've got a point… Amazing contributions, are you even paying attention? What? Go ahead, I'm all ears… Hey, that's my- Don't mind if I do! Have a wonderful day! We've got their top players, Sugiura and Iida, then all those crazy new juniors, to make things worse. Yeah… We're packing a girl who's behind the times, and talks to her weapon! Plus, Miss cold-blooded! Not to mention, we're still down a member! Seriously, can't we catch a break anywhere! I think we've at least got the members part down. What? So, what do you say? I guess… Just think of it as a trial run. Probably. Probably? St. Union What!? Allow me to introduce our newest member. This is Nina Averin. Her father's Russian. So, this was the girl you were talking about? You read one of the fliers I handed out! Sorry, I never read that. Wha… Oh… you didn't… Well, I guess we're set to compete now. While we're at it, how about approving the club? Rejected. Don't include me in your count. Don't be so stingy. The three possible actions a Candita can perform are, Candita - A Circlet Bout Player attacking, guarding, or moving. However, the system doesn't allow you to execute all three at once. You're guaranteed to incur a delay between each action. Exploiting the period of recovery between your opponents' actions, while making it difficult for them to capitalize on yours. That should cover the circlet bout basics. Also, pertaining that delay… The time between movements may seem fixed, But it's said that a skilled Candita can reduce that as much as possible. Come on, we can't perform like some super-humans. You imbecile! Union is in this losing streak, because you give up before even trying! Listen up! You all need to be mo- Please stay quiet! Well, you basically watch your opponent, and win through a series of rock, paper, scissors-like situations. Does that make sense? Pretty much. Well, we'll be here if you ever get hung up on something. Got it. You're starting to look like a player! Truly disgraceful… You should be capable of more nimble movements. I-I can't help it! Your weapon is upset with you! M-Miyuki-chan! I couldn't even touch you… Guess you're still no match for me. No way! That said, even if it's a practice match, I hope Takamori doesn't get mad at us… Based off today, I'm not sure what to think. I'll do better during the actual match! That's what most slackers end up saying. What!? H-Hey, Mr. Weapon! What's wrong, Reina? I-It's nothing… Takamori Academy Captain, I'm sending the information on tomorrow's match. Thank you. So, her sister is registered to play. All that's left is her… It's settled… Iida! Everything's going as planned. Iida... This is your time to shine. Let's go! Y-Yeah! What's up with this place! Talk about high-class! L-Look at this! Everything's free! You're already drinking them!? If only we had popularity and money… Let's get changed, we don't have much time. Right, we're coming… Let's kick back a bit more… What was that? I-I didn't say anything! Most of the support is directed towards Takamori… They have around a 30% advantage. 30 percent!? Talk about rough… We'll need to try our best. Well, you can't do much at away games. We essentially came here to lose. No percentages will affect that. Umm… Don't you want to win, Reina-san? I'm saying it's difficult at our current level. B-But! We'll just do what we can! Then, why are we even… We're starting. Momentarily, the battle between Takamori and Union will commence! Will both sides announce their selection! Guess we wouldn't be worth a full team of regulars… That's obvious, consider the difference in our abilities. Both players, advance to the stage! Who's up first? I've got this! I'll be up first! All right, time to see what Takamori's made of. Start the bout! Man, this 30% increase is rough! You can do it, Miyuki-chan! Miyuki-chan! Takamori Academy - St. Union Academy Takamori Academy receives one point! The first hit decided everything… You'd be finished if you took one of those. Miyuki-chan! Damn, I didn't stand a chance… We already knew it, but this gap is still unbelievable. We're commencing the next round, advance to the stage! R-Reina-san, good luck out ther- Encouragement is unnecessary. Start the bout! U-Um… is this considered a good game!? Yeah, I'd say she's putting up a fight. With everything considered, she's our most experienced player. What, she has experience!? Nice going! I'd expect nothing less from Kuroda's sister. Guess it's in her blood. She's amazing! She's in a different league than you. You didn't need to go that far! However, her run ends here. This is the difference in skill. That girl understood this reality, which is why she accepted losing. No way... Takamori Academy, two points! Okay, I'll go last! What are you saying, the match is over. What!? We conducted a BO3, which means a best of three. Basically, the first to take two games. You didn't hear the rules? Wait, what… No way! I want to play, too! We can't do anything, those were the rules. It's not fair, I didn't get to play! Are you a kid… My apologies… Perhaps we should start wrapping things up? Oh… Sorry, thank you for today's game. You did come all the way here, it'd be a shame to leave after two games. It's a practice match anyway, think you've got time for another round? I wouldn't mind seeing it myself. Yes! Me, me! I'll do it! I want to play! Takamori Academy - St. Union Academy We will now begin the third match. She's facing Iida!? You can't be serious… You know her? One of Takamori's first-string players. While she's had her share of ups and downs, her offensive strength is outstanding, and her other abilities aren't far behind. If I had to sum her up, I'd say… She's ridiculously good! Meaning she's not a player we should be facing? Yeah… Why would they put her against Yuka… You're so tall, Iida-san! Have you done anything before? I-I used to play basketball. Ah! I knew it was that! My friend, Hina-chan, also played basketball! Why do I have to play against someone like Union… She was so tall! I mean super tall, like whoosh! Captain… Start the bout! Here I come! P-Please wait! Just hurry up and lose! W-What should I do!? There's nothing you can do, this is your limit. I-I know that, but! She's not half bad! She's holding her own better than I thought! I won't be able to win like this! I'm sure you won't. But, I still really want to win! Well, Union rookie, do you understand the difference between us? Why is your desire to win so strong? Because there's someone I want to play against. What? To achieve that, I can't afford to stop here. I have to keep winning, and reach the top! Really? You have impeccable defense, but your offense is beyond saving. Create an opportunity to counter her. I'll give you the signal, but you'll need to fend off her attacks first. You've been paying attention to me this entire time? Thank you so much! Don't get the wrong idea! I haven't acknowledged you yet! However, I admire that desire to reach the top. Let's go! Right! She's really hanging in there! You're right, I'm a bit surprised she's defending this well. That's all she can manage. It won't change the outcome. No… She's properly blocking them. Are you serious… way to go, Yuka! She may end up winning! What's up with her!? I can't believe she's keeping up with me…! Try to buy a bit more time! Right! Pressure her into panicking! It's the same… This match is unfolding the same way… Hurry up and fall, you amateur! Not bad! All right, let's move in! Thank you! But, there's something I'd like to try… What? Can you handle swift movements? Who do you think I am!? I was once known as the gale wi- Thank goodness! Hey! Let me finish! Please follow my lead! Are you mocking me!? Union receives one point! Yay! You're amazing! She really won! Thank you so much, Sieg! No need to thank me. More importantly, where did that "Sieg" thing come from? I thought it'd be weird if I kept calling you Mr. Weapon, so I gave you a name! I've played a game before with this super strong hero, and he had a bunch of stars on him! Siegfried, Sieg for short! What an uncultured name! Can't you come up with anything better than that? But it's a nice name! Oh, would you prefer something cuter? Like G-kun! What!? You're spiraling down the wrong path! Give me something… With a little more mea- I'm looking forward to playing with you, G-kun! What!? H-Hey! G-Kun! G-Kun! What are you doing! Don't baby me! Cut it out! Hey! I'm sorry for such a disgraceful display… I expected as much. Luck's on your side. What? You got to witness what could be the birth of the strongest player. Union receives one point! We'll meet again… Welcome back, Yuka Sasaki. That girl named Reina appears to be concerned about something. Though, I do understand that feeling of having something you can’t overcome! However, the concerns of a young girl are meaningless, to someone of my caliber! Next time, Episode 4 "Complex Sister". ▶ [RyuujiTK] Circlet Princess - 04 [1080p] In our third match, Takamori Academy's, Rika Osawa will face St. Union Academy's, Ayana Kuroda! Start the bout! It's a Knockout! Our winner is St. Union Academy! Big sister! I'll attend Union, too! I'm going to join the circlet bout club, and be just like you! Man, I'm exhausted. I wasn't ready to face everyone at that practice game. How about it? You up for a 100-man kumite? Huh? We'd love to play you! That's apparently Takamori's style of welcoming others they acknowledge. That was so much fun! Well, you played the most games. And against nothing but regulars… Pervert… Hm.... What's up? Are you tired? N-No… You were right after Yuka in terms of games played. In the end, Sasaki was the only one that could win. Well, that's true… St. Union I'll report the results to the Director. Right. Miyuki! We saw your game! You were so cool out there! We're rooting for you! Yuka-chan! I wonder if Union felt like this back then? W-Why are they...? That's circlet bout, everyone will watch if we have great games. Look, you've even made some fans. What? Yuka-chan! They're cheering for you, respond to them. Whoa! Everyone's rooting for us. So, this is circlet bout! The Princess Cup! Cup? Pudding? An explanation, if you will, Ayumu! It's the largest event held for high school female circlet bout players. We had an event like that? I can't believe you! Only one school has continued to hold the throne in the Princess Cup. Kurojishi Sougou Academy. Similar to Union, they have a lot of history. However, being the first to implement the MR system, they're the strongest academy, holding traditions and the latest technology. And, Kurojishi's ultimate player is… Chikage Fujimura! Chikage-san! It's from the director's office. What do you think it is? Maybe we did such a great job in yesterday's match!? So, he's going to congratulate us!? It may be the opposite. Because Yuka won… What!? Takamori is Union's sister-academy… They've supported us for so long. And yet, you went and beat them yesterday… It's your fault. What!? Yuka! That's our only option! That? Yeah, that! We're deeply sorry for the trouble we've caused! We're sorry! Everything that took place yesterday was due to her selfish decision! She's to blame for everything! She's correct, I'm to blame for everyt- Wait, what!? Come on, apologise! This is our only hope for forgiveness! B-But! But, but! What are you doing… You're an interesting group. You're that cocky person from Takamori! You idiot! I'm grateful for your participation in the match, despite our sudden invitation. It was a wonderful opportunity for our first-year students. The pleasure was ours, we've been in your Academy's care for so long. This isn't much of a thank you, but we'd love to offer you our left-over equipment. What!? We're beyond excited that Union's circlet bout club has returned! We're looking forward to being great rivals as we were in the past! Please wait. You appear to be mistaken on the matter. Reina! The closure for our circlet bout club has already been decided. Hey, Reina! Yesterday's practice was an exception. I may have overstepped my bounds. What's with Reina, Takamori even offered to help for free! She's really trying to shut us down! She's been saying that from the start… But this is the club that Ayana built! Who's Ayana? You really came to Union without knowing…? Ayana Kuroda. She's the legend that led Union to the Princess Cup finals. That's right, I chose to attend here because of her. Wow, she sounds amazing. Huh… Kuroda!? That's what I've been saying, she's Reina's sister! What!? Do you understand why it's so frustrating now? Of all people, Ayana's little sister is trying to shut the club down! I'm getting upset just thinking about it! What's wrong? I've got this fuzzy feeling… Fuzzy? Yes, there's this weird feeling in my chest… Maybe it's more of a prickly feeling… What? How do you expect me to understand that…? Oh, I've got it. It's not your chest, it's your stomach! Let's all go eat! It's time for food! All right… Her stomach isn't her chest. Shut it. You still can't get over it? It's making me feel fuzzy… You must've eaten too much! T-That's not it! The cocky person! Sorry, I'm asking for so much. No, it's fine. Things have really changed around here… Have you visited before? Indeed, countless times during practice games. Takamori and Union were great rivals. We'd always compete over which of us would win the Princess Cup. Union must have been really strong. Yeah, they were amazing. I guess the void she left behind was too large. What is it? Umm… Will Union really lose its club…? That's what I heard. I want to play against Kurojishi Academy! But… It doesn't seem right if I do it alone… We need to get stronger together, but… I don't want the club to close. Come to Takamori. Huh? At Takamori, you can challenge Kurojishi. The only team capable of standing against Kurojishi, who sits at the top, is Takamori Academy. What do you say? Give it some thought. Ayumu-chan! She's in America. Huh? You wanted to know why things are like this? After Ayana was scouted, she went off to America. What? Circlet bout is a sport that utilizes the latest MR technology. The tools, facilities, and resources for development. Everything costs a fortune. Of course, she'd desire an environment fit for her abilities. Wouldn't you do the same? At Takamori, you can challenge Kurojishi. Well, as a result, we instantly became the weakest school. But, we shouldn't blame her. That's exactly why we need to produce some results. Wouldn't you agree? Here, take this. What is that? A DVD, there's footage inside. Oh please, you're so silly! There were a bunch of those hanging in my neighborhood's field! Fie… That isn't how you use these… What, really!? Put this in here, and watch! Umm… B-But, watch what? Ayana Kuroda! Huh? It's footage of her games! It's no use… It was an obtainable victory… Big sister… What do you need? We're one member away from five. You promised to officially approve our club after that. I'll consider the proposal. Let's enter the Princess Cup, and reclaim the old Union! Back when Ayana-san was here! Didn't you tell me? That you wanted to be like her… That you wanted to be number one! We'll have five members with you! Why won't you join!? I have important student council duties. Reina! Five members! We'll be approved once we manage to clear that. And with a club budget, we can kiss storage rooms goodbye! Hey, Yuka! What have you been doing? Oh… I'm watching Ayana-san's matches! The one's from around the Princess Cup. I thought they'd be a good reference. Their playstyles are really similar… That's right, Reina's style is just like Ayana's. However… However? She's lacking something crucial. Something crucial? What is she missing? If we knew that, things wouldn't be so tough. But the evidence of that showed in her loss. I've asked her countless times, but she always refuses. That's why we have to find one more person anyway we ca- We can't! Our final member has to be the delegate! Look… Why does it have to be Reina? Because I have a fuzzy feeling! Huh? It won't go away unless it's her! Miss Delegate! Oh, Sasaki. Perfect timing, I need to discuss something with you privately. Ah, hey! Why are we in the bathroom? You said you needed to speak with me privately, I do, too! What do you need to discuss? You may go first! A-All right… We were contacted by Sugiura from Takamori Academy. It appears that she scouted you. T-That's right… Is that what you wished to discuss? T-There's that too… You want to play against Kurojishi, correct? It's a wonderful opportunity. You can hand in the paperwo- E-Enough about me! Why won't you play circlet bout? You're so amazing! Even your sister was unbelievable! I saw her on a DVD, so why…! That's why, she went to America… Union couldn't continue to hold her back. That's why everyone chose to see her off. However, after she left, Union was unable to win. By the time I enrolled at Union, there were no longer any members. If you wish to play Kurojishi, you mustn't stay here. Takamori is the greatest environment for you. You should head there and play to your heart's content. And you… What? Why won't you play circlet bout? You're so amazing, you're better than any of us! So, why? Why won't you play, despite being so good!? I couldn't stop thinking after watching that DVD. You look just like your sister! Miss Delegate, let's play circlet bout together! I'm nothing like my sister! You're going to Takamori! Understood? I feel so fuzzy! Again with that? You need to focus on yourself! No! I want to play with everyone! Why!? What would drive you to work with that uncooperative girl! Listen! Circlet bout requires the utmost m- I want to play together! That's obviously impossible. In today's exhibition match, You have a duty of fully utilizing an outstanding circlet such as me. Chikage Fujimura from Kurojishi Academy, will make a final appearance! You shouldn't be sitting around wasting your time! Hurry up and go to Takamori Aca- That's it! Hey, hold on, Yuka! What in the world are you planning!? H-Hey… Wait! S-Stop! What are you doing…? Kurojishi Sougou Academy Chikage Fujimura Waiting Room Oh, well, good morning! Grandpa said it'd be fine to greet industry people like that… In what industry!? More importantly, why are we here? I wanted to see Chikage-san… What? I thought I'd be able to figure something out if I met her. What a ridiculous plan… In just 10 seconds! Chikage Fujimura decides the battle with a single decisive blow! Wow! Congratulations, Miss Fujimura! You were unaware of your opponent before the match, yet you handled this wonderfully! What's the secret behind your victory? There isn't any. Then, how do you pull it off? You can understand each other through clashing… That's circlet bout. That's it! St. Union Reina! We really can't do this without you! Think it over again, don't you want to pl- Stop making me repeat myself! I could have the club shut down immediately! Reina… Enough! Miss Delegate! What? Yuka! Miss Delegate, please play against me! Please! Y-You guys! Very well. I'll accept your challenge… However, If I win, you're going to Takamori Academy, understood? Yes! Takamori? What is she talking about!? I never heard about this! She used a Naginata!? The DVD. Huh? Ayana Kuroda's DVD! Start the bout! It's the same! It's just like my sister… I get it! She's trying to make her remember! Remember what? What else? Ayana! Why!? How should I know… What have you been doing this entire time? Huh? What do you mean? Why are you mimicking Ayana Kuroda's movements? What, I was? Stop running around! You mustn't panic. Huh? You're constantly panicking. Try to relax, you're a strong girl. It's all right, trust your big sister, Okay? Reina caught her! Big sister… There you go! You can do it once you calm down! But, if you think you can beat your big sister, you're 100 years too early. Stop making fun of me! Big sister… Reina. Big sister… I'm leaving now… Take care of Union for me. You love circlet bout, right? Don't worry, I know you can do it. Big sister… Do what you really want, don't worry about me. You're you, after all. Not yet! You're late. I was busy. Have some, as a celebration! What's this? All new applicants need to try one before joining. What? I'll win next time, understood? A-Are you okay, Reina-san!? W-What is this! That rowdy girl named Miyuki, looks like she's bottling up something, as well. Honestly, the battles are just starting, how long are you going to stay huddled up! Hurry up and go back to being that rowdy girl! Next time, Episode 5 "Breaking Down". ▶ [RyuujiTK] Circlet Princess - 05 [1080p] Captain Election Miyuki Kasahara Well, I guess that's settled… As a result of the votes, I've become the club captain. With only one candidate, you'd win by default, so there's nothing to celebrate… Honestly… Hold it right there! I'm trying to liven things up, don't ruin the mood! New captain, can we hear your ambitions? Oh, that's right. Now that I've become captain, I'll turn us into a team that can win the Princess Cup! Wow! Let's be somewhat realistic. Having a goal is wonderful, but what about discussing our starting line-up, or strategic planning? Right, that! Our starting order is important, so I gave it some thought! Essentially, I'll go first, followed by Reina. 1st Miyuki Kasahara 2nd Reina Kuroda 3rd Yuka Sasaki Yuka will go last since she stands out, what do you think? You're already sounding like a captain. That handwriting is beautiful, did you ask someone to write it for you? Be quiet! Let's try to focus on the topic! I think it sounds wonderful! Everyone can show off their strengths with this order! You're amazing, Miyuki-chan! A-Aren't I? So, I'm thinking Ayumu can call the shots. And, Nina can… Be in charge of drinking cola! You just call it like you see it… Well, Nina and I will serve as backup. We'll do our best with preparations and support. I don't need to do anything? Think of yourself as a supportive, mascot-like role. Oh… All right! Our roles have been decided! Once again, our goal is to win the Princess Cup! Yeah! Princess Cup Lot Drawing Event I guess that's the Princess Cup for you… They go all out even when drawing lots. You wouldn't want to feel out of place here. It's finally time! Such a fuss over deciding opponents. What's wrong with it? It's like a festival. If you like festivals, then you should go to one. Battles are meant to have a serious presence! Come on, you're always so serious, G-kun. Hey! It's been a while. Oh! You're that Takamori... Um… Important person! Hey, Yuka, you're being rude. Don't worry, it's fine. I'll just have to work hard enough to be remembered. I-I'm really sorry! Well, if we're matched against each other, we'll see you then. T-That scary person is really scary! I'm sure she still holds a grudge over that loss. What!? Princess Cup Lot Drawing Event This is unsettling… I'm the one who has to go up there soon… It's the strong people. Look, it's Kurojishi. They're last year's winners! Their ace, Chikage Fujimura, is doing well! I guess they're favored to win this year. Chikage-san is amazing! It's awfully noisy. This collection of filth is only capable of running their mouths. Hm… Now then, the lot drawing for the Princess Cup metropolitan area tournament will begin! We're really using an old-fashioned method to select our opponents. It's fine, it'll make things more exciting! You think so? More importantly, who we're matched against in this selection is crucial. Takamori Academy Kurojishi, Takamori, Musashino Kyuoh and Hoshinoumi. Those are the four Tokyo area schools you'd want to avoid. Even in double elimination, you'd want to make your way up without any trouble. Aloe blue Emily nee-san… who? Huh? What are you saying? If we're trying to win, facing the stronger schools later on would b- In our first game on day 3, St. Union Academy will face Hoshinoumi Academy! St. Union Academy Hoshinoumi Academy Now she's done it… Hoshinoumi was one of those strong schools you mentioned? We're already facing a crisis… Sounds rough. My, well if it isn't Kasahara-san. I knew it… I haven't seen you since the athletic tournament. More importantly… I believe you intended to enroll in Hoshinoumi, so why are you at Union? A lot happened… My… Have you given up on running? I'm focusing on circlet bout right now. That must have been a heavy decision. After leaving behind such results, I wonder if you have any regrets. Of course I would. I wonder... Is Union truly satisfied, receiving guidance from a desultory captain? Please don't be too hard on us in our first match. Well then, good day. What's with her… Welcome back. Our first game is going to be difficult. Hey, are you listening? Huh… Yeah, I'm listening! Anyway, let's head back and practice! Okay! Let's practice! 8 Days Until the Princess Cup! Miyuki! Take this seriously! I'm being serious! You're not! You should be more capable than this! What sort of attack was that!? H-Hold on! I'm not waiting! We don't have any more time! Miyuki looks a bit strange today. She isn't going after her at all, and her defense is terrible. I wonder if her stomach hurts? I don't know about her stomach, but there's no mistake that something's troubling her. You can tell, G-kun? Indeed, if one's troubles could take shape, I'm certain they'd appear like that. Come on… What's going on with you? You normally be able to dodge something like th- Okay... Let's wrap things up today. Hey, Miyuki! Huh, we're not going out today? Sorry, I'll pass. I really think something's strange! Speak after you've finished chewing! Your manners are unbelievable! Something is definitely wrong, right!? Yeah… It's strange. With the way Miyuki is acting now, beating Hoshinoumi is out of the question. N-No way! I thought she'd never be affected by anything. But Miyuki won't talk to us… Maybe she's really worried about this... I never took her for that type, though. Do you know anything, Ayumu? No… All right! I've made up my mind! At this point, I'm going to execute the, "Miyuki all or nothing plan!" The what…? Yuka looks like a beast glaring at her prey. Hiss! Ayumu Everyone's worried Miyuki-chan! Y-Yuka? Um! I'm sorry! What are you doing!? I've been depending on you too much. Huh!? It must have been stressful, captain! Right… I understand! I didn't think we'd play against a powerhouse right away, either! But… Please don't worry. We'll do our best covering for you! And I'll make sure to gather your ashes! Wait, hold on! I'm not worried about the match, and I'm not feeling pressured. You don't need to go that far either! Oh… That wasn't it? Was your entire stock of cola replaced with milk? Or was your favorite sprite-based game remade in 3D!? You guys, if you're going to worry, at least consider me a bit more! That Hoshinoumi player said something to you. Correct? What? T-This is your house? Yeah, follow me. I've seen this sort of place in a drama before! The final boss may show up. You can sit anywhere. Hey, don't go around touching things. Ah. Ah... Wow, they're so cool! There are a bunch of shoes. Is this what's bothering you? My family designs shoes. Because of that, and my interest in running, I naturally ended up joining track. I was fast, I'd always place first. I was confident that running was my strength… That I was a star… However, that was only in my mind. Kasahara is at the top again? I'm sure she'll just be the rep this time, too. How nice, being born into a rich family... She's basically blessed by her environment. It's like she's running through the power of money. Then, I decided to quit track. While I was lost in that depression after quitting, I witnessed Ayana playing circlet bout. She was always shining, and looked so cool! That's when I decided I wanted to play. However, I never thought starting circlet bout would lead to playing against Hoshinoumi. Even in track, Hoshinoumi is one of the top schools. So, is that where you're headed with this… Yeah, if I continued track, I would have ended up there. I honestly didn't think I'd ever be involved with them again. Well, it's pretty ridiculous to think I'd ever become a star, when I'm getting hung up on something like this. Yuka is probably more- That isn't true! You'll become a star! With your optimism, I really feel like it could happen! I think Miyuki was really frustrated. She's always been straightforward. I wonder if she can do it? It'll be fine! She'll keep pushing, and become a star! Right, Reina-chan! I have something to discuss, could I have a minute? Princess Cup Tournament Hoshinoumi Academy vs St. Union Academy All right! It's finally time for the Princess Cup! The main event attracts an unreal number of spectators. Huh… Where is Miyuki-chan? She went to the restroom. She was nervous. Well, I see someone decided not to run. There's no way I could run away! Everyone's giving it their all! But you were so wonderful at running before… I see you've matured. I wanted to keep running! But… no matter how much I won, no one would acknowledge me… You're beyond pathetic. In sports, athletes needs to acquire their self-confidence. Yet you avert your eyes from your own outcome, and simply worry about how others evaluate you. You don't deserve to even step foot on stage. And now, you're presumptuous enough to think you'll reach the top in circlet bout? You're not even worth laughing at. Hey! Don't you dare think you're getting out of this. I'm dying to see the moment you're completely humiliated. Okay! Let's do this! Well, just like last time, it's basically an away game. Wait, so that means they're 30% stronger? It's tough being poor… All right, just like we decided, I'll start things off. Objection! W-Why not? This is the order we initially decided on. If you were in top form perhaps. That’s… Yuka will go first, followed by me. You can handle the third round. Y-You want me as the anchor? Amazing! You want to make Miyuki's star plan a reality, too! I don't care about stars, but going last means there's the possibility she won't need to play. I see. You're saying I should try to avoid playing, because I'm useless…? That's right. St. Union Academy All right, we'll go with this. My, she decided to enter without running. I'll make sure you'll never recover from this. Momentarily, the circlet bout Princess Cup, metropolitan area tournament will begin! Now then, we'll have Hoshinoumi Academy and St. Union Academy's first players step forward! Hoshinoumi Academy - St. Union Academy Start the bout! Great, that's the way, push forward! That was a wonderful attack. Yeah! Wow… I'm impressed… However, the battle has just begun. Yuka should have gone last, after all… I won! Well done. I got data on our opponent as well, let's make full use of it next round! If we win the next game it's over. That's right! We'll win with a 2-0! All right, I'll settle this! Yeah! Good luck, Reina-chan! I'm counting on you, Yuka. Start the bout! You've got this, Reina-chan! She appears to be confident in her speed, but she's still no match for us. Hey, Reina! Oh no! If Reina-chan loses here, it'll all depend on Miyuki-chan! Hoshinoumi Academy - St. Union Academy No way… I can't… Hoshinoumi Academy - St. Union Academy Sorry Miyuki… The rest is up to you. Reina, I can't… Try to remember your usual self, If you do that, you'll win. Christi Yamauchi VS Miyuki Kasahara Did I do a good job? Your acting is terrible, I thought she would find out. Well, I doubt she has time to worry about that. You're appearing in the final round? I'll at least commend that confidence. N-No… That's… Please try to do your best, with that half-hearted resolve. Start the bout! Oh my! Could something possibly be wrong? You'll keep getting hurt if you don't defend properly. Miyuki-chan! This doesn't look good… She's being swept up in her opponent's pace. What should she do? She has to turn things in her favor! Rather than defending, she needs to fall back and keep running, to wear her opponent down! Miyuki-chan! You have to run away more! How humiliating, after determining you have no hope, your own teammates are suggesting you run away. T-They wouldn't… If you're frustrated, perhaps you should attempt defending everything I throw at you. Since your only chance of victory lies within that! Damn! I'll make sure I stop you! You were my goal, and I intended to defeat you! Then, without any explanation, you suddenly vanished… However, I've finally cornered you now! It's time to display your disgraceful loss to the entire nation, Miyuki Kasahara! Miyuki-chan, why… Her opponent... While her tactics are rather foul, she's remarkable at swaying a match. She has Miyuki completely under control. Miyuki, run! R-Reina!? Your defense is bad enough, what are you trying to accomplish!? You can't possibly be that stupid! W-What was that! As a result, you just wore yourself down without achieving anything! You're a complete joke! An idiot! An unbelievable fool! Reina! You think I'll sit back and let you- Overwhelming physical abilities, isn't that your greatest asset? Have you already forgotten! Making your opponent run, exhausting them, that's where you're at your best! You're the only one capable of pulling your opponent around like that! So... Run, Miyuki! Y-You coward! You can't simply run around! I'm not falling for that anymore! S-Stop this instant! That's unfair… That's the trouble with rich girls and their sheltered upbringing, You're naïve when it comes to training. You're the naïve one! You can't focus on a single objective, and continue to run away! N-No… I won't accept… Just like you said, I ran away before. That's why I promised, I won't ever look back. Man, I'm wiped… Miyuki-chan, you pulled it off! You were a wonderful star! Congratulations, Miyuki. I bet we'll gain quite a few new supporters from this. I can’t wait to see the results. My abilities as a star are scary! But, you! Where do you get off calling me an idiot! You can just return the favor. Call me cold-blooded or frigid, if it motivates you, then go ahead. What? Aren't we going for the Princess Cup? If we are, then let's give it everything! We get done with Miyuki, but now it's Nina… One after another, these girls lack resolve. For starters, you probably ended up like this, because you're drinking all that sugary liquid! If you're a warrior, drink water! Water! Next time, Episode 6 "Extreme Game". ▶ [RyuujiTK] Circlet Princess - 06 [1080p] Pirozhki Lovers - That's it for me piro, do svidaniya Night See ya Later Shark Curry - We're the winners! Next let's grab a chicken dinner! I expected nothing less from Shark Curry… Pirozhki Lovers - Let's go with handguns only next. Shark Curry - Whoa, I'll be waiting Okay! Come on, what are you doing, Nina! Hang in there, Nina-chan! Too slow! Our winner is Kaoru Yoshimura! Eidai Academy takes the first point! Our winner is Yuka Sasaki! With a score of 2-1, St. Union Academy takes the victory! I was on the edge of my seat at the end… That was a close call. Sorry, I'm late! How did the game go? We managed to take it. Thank goodness… I had some urgent student council work, and couldn't pull away from it. Don't worry about it. So, who filled in for me? Oh… Hey, don't sweat it! We still pulled through it in the end! There will always be a next time! Yeah… It's easy when it's a game… Shark Curry - Great work, we had a nice run today Pirozhki Doushi - Thanks… Shark Curry - What's up? You seem down Pirozhki Lovers - Yeah, a bit… Shark Curry – Don't worry, you were even on fire today, have some confidence. Pirozhki Lovers - Yeah, you're right Shark curry - All right, let's head to the next stage Pirozhki Lover - Yeah Okay, let's get started! Musashino Kyuoh Academy Our next opponent is Musashino Kyuoh Academy. They were in the top 4 during the Princess Cup. For some reason, they're obsessed with the color red. Wait, that's it!? Apparently, they love sending red items to their opponent. Oh, this? This was delivered today. What, tomatoes!? And? And…? No one cares about that! Don't we have some info on how to beat them!? To win! No! For starters, it's not my job to look this stuff up. It's true that we've been pushing too many tasks on Ayumu. We should use another method to gather information. Oh, I have a great idea! Let's hire a spy! What? I saw one in a movie! We'll hire a skilled spy, and have them uncover Musashino Kyuoh's secrets! Okay… so where will we get the money to hire them!? What? That costs money? There's no one like that around anyway! What! There aren't any spies!? Didn't we tell you circlet bout costs a fortune? We'll have to handle everything on our own! Miyuki… Let's leave it at that. Basically, the five of us will just have to take on more tasks. Nina! I want you to be an attacker! Huh? We barely managed to get five members. With someone down, it could easily cost us a round, so we're at a disadvantage. But, I lost last time… That's exactly why! We'll be in a pinch if we can't make you stronger! Last time, we put you in the game without suitable preparations. That's why we want you to be ready next time. On that note, let's go shopping for weapons! A… W-Weapon!? Thank you for visiting! Welcome to the circlet bout fitting room! What sort of weapon are you searching for today? W-What is this place? You can find a weapon to match your style, and customize it here. Okay, I'll look for one t- You fool! What are you thinking, when you already have me! Wha… B-But, but! Even without visiting this shop, I'll continue to gather your data, and optimize to match it! What…! That sounds kind of creepy! Ah… Hold it! Let me finish everything! Optimization? Even then, it's gross! A circlet performing that on its own… What!? You're gross! Wait, hold on! It'd obviously be creepy! All right, try picking something! But our budget's tight, so stay within it. B-Budget? B-But I don't see anything… Go ahead and choose one! A rifle… Ah, sorry… Sorry, Nina. That's out of our budget. Circlet bout weapons utilize MR resources to materialize. Since we're the weakest team, we have to make do with the few resources we have. Essentially, the number of bullets we could use in a game would be heavily limited. And when it comes to projectiles, the advantage they have over swords and spears is too large. That's why they're purposely difficult to handle. You'd need a massive number of bullets to hit your mark… But, Miyuki… We just can't handle that at our club… Sorry, Nina. Can you pick anything other than a gun? I'm really sorry… St. Union Here I come, Nina-chan! An attacker needs a spear! With the difference in length, it'll take a single strike! Start the bout! Shark Curry - Wow, that's a new record Pirozhki Lovers - Thanks… Shark Curry - What's up? You still seem down Pirozhki Lovers - Yeah… Shark Curry - What happened to the 24 weeks top, Pirozhki Lovers? Pirozhki Lovers - Yeah… Pirozhki Lovers - I won't be on here for a while… Shark Curry - Huh, why? Pirozhki Lovers!? W-What should I do… W-What? It's nothing, I'm looking. Huh…? I'm just looking! What are you doing? Oh, don't worry about me… Please don't worry! What are you doing? How did you know I was here!? What have you been doing this entire time? What have y- Is… Is there something troubling you? Is there something troubling you? If you're fine with me, you can… Nothing really… Ah, hey! Wait! Is something troubling you! Is something!! Is something troubling you! Nothing's wrong! I see… Do you have enough? Yes! I couldn't find out what was bothering Nina-chan… That's why I told you sneaking around to find out wouldn't work! You've got to challenge everything head-on! That's the only option! But, but! Wasn't that your approach in the end? Ayumu-chan? Do you have a minute? All right everyone, we're cleaning the pool today! Let's give it our all! Yeah! Great response! As a present, I'll let you handle that! Lucky you, you've got the best spot. What!? Okay, let's get started! Yeah! Why are we doing this… You okay? Let's wrap this up quickly, and grab something to eat! How is this related to circlet bout… What's the harm? We're always locked up indoors, isn't some fresh air nice occasionally? Our budget will increase, as well! Huh, budget? Nina! Nina! Could you grab that hose, and spray some water here! Oh, okay… What? The water stopped… Come on, we're waiting! T-The water- Ah! Yuka! Infirmary H-Hey, what now!? This wasn't the plan… It's too late now, Nina will just have to replace Yuka. Huh!? Ayumu… It'll be fine, Nina can handle it. We decided on cleaning the pool, because you trusted me, right? Y-Yeah, but… I was supposed to be the one sitting out… I get it, but having her replace Yuka… You mind? You should be more confident in yourself. Like when we're gaming. Huh? Pirozhki Lovers? Shark Curry. W-What!? In-game, you're the strongest! Have some more confidence. I'm sure you can do the same thing in circlet bout. I guarantee it. But… Today's pool cleaning… Huh? We were cleaning the pool for you. What do you mean? If it's funds, we have some! What!? We'll take on the pool cleaning that's normally handled by a vendor. So that's it! Then, it'll be added to our budget! Correct! But, how is that for me… Well, after we're finished here, want to sneak off to the training room? I-Isn't this! Yep, we did all this to buy your weapon. Okay, let's get started! Yeah! We're counting on you in the next game. Right! We managed to work things out for now, but will it really be okay? I'm sure it'll be fine, Ayumu went this far. But… I caught a cold… You fool! Blame your lack of training! What? Can't you have some sympathy for me… Not happening! Whoa… Their entire facility is deep red… I feel like I'm suffocating… Yeah… That's incorrect! Red symbolizes our passion! And overflowing strength! Isn't that right, Arisa? Indeed, Akira! I'll be kind enough to fill you in. You've already been captured by red! Momentarily, the game between Musashino Kyuoh Academy, and St. Union Academy, will commence! I'll start things off! I'll string them along, use that time to learn their movements! Got it! We're counting on you! Yeah! From Musashino Kyuoh Academy, Akira Tsunemi! Followed by St. Union Academy's, Miyuki Kasahara! How do things look? Well, like always, we're starting with a 30% handicap. Really… But, with these numbers, our shots will really be limited. Start the bout! No way! Musashino Kyuoh Academy receives one point! What's going on? She'd normally be able to dodge something like that. Miyuki, are you okay? I couldn't see it… I couldn't see her weapon! I get it now, a negative afterimage! With overstimulation to a single color, the moment you view a white surface, you'll end up seeing the complementary color. Since we were exposed to red, we end up seeing cyan. And the color of her weapon was… Cyan! Mixing it with those bright walls makes it difficult to see! They're dirty! No, since it's a different from the stage, it doesn't exactly break the rules. You finally understand what I meant! Though, it's far too late. Let me handle this. Nina? Let me handle this! Nina… From Musashino Kyuoh Academy, Arisa Hara! Followed by St. Union Academy's, Nina Averin! A rifle? With all these obstacles around? You've only got two shots! Sorry, that's the most we could manage to get. If it wasn't for that 30% handicap, we'd at least have one more shot… It's fine. That's more than enough. Start the bout! Will she be okay? Leave it to me! She'll wait until the last possible moment to appear. At 10 o'clock, distance 120 meters! Got it. Distance, 100 meters! You have a five second interval! If you miss the first shot, you won't get another chance! If we had more bullets, you could shoot from a farther distance… Regardless, the map is covered with blind spots… She's there! Guide me! What!? Become my eyes. At 11 o'clock, distance 60 meters! She missed! She won't make it in time! Four… three… two… Too slow! Crouch down! One! St. Union Academy receives one point! Yuka!? Thank goodness, she won… R-Reina-san! I'll let you handle the rest… I've got this. Ayumu! Back me up! Got it! St. Union Academy receives one point! Our winner is St. Union Academy! Thank you, Yuka. N-No, I should thank you! Thanks everyone, you did all this for me… It wasn't just for you. Huh? It was for all of us. We'll be counting on you, Nina! Right! Pirozhki Lovers - I started playing circlet bout! Shark Curry - The big announcement is here!! Looks like these girls have finally gotten serious! At this point, you'd choose to further refine yourself! However, they decide to enjoy sweets on a break! Don't blame me when someone pulls the rug from under your feet! Next time, Episode 7 "Sweet Dreams". ▶ [RyuujiTK] Circlet Princess - 07 [1080p] This is no good, either… If I overdo it, the circlet won't be useable… I never thought I'd be playing the role of a hacker. With the revival of their circlet bout club, St. Union Academy surprises everyone, as they continue to advance. The driving force behind their team, appears to be a 1st year student, Yuka Sasaki. With that bursting popularity over social networks, her unbelievable reaction time has led fans to deem her the, "Overclock Princess", A brand new face steers their advance The veteran school's revival! St. Union Academy Another Victory, Yuka Sasaki continues her consecutive wins! as she quickly becomes the center of attention. There's no mistake that Yuka's secret lies within her reaction time… But where that comes from is the real question. A circlet specializing in training, which is also equipped with offline practice functions. It doesn't display any status data, and it's running an AI using outdated voice functions… She's not wearing Siegfried… Oh, you mean this? A perver- No, wait! I received it from a strange person! A strange person… She received it… But, who gave it to her? St. Union Student Council Room Currently in meeting I see, so you're aiming to operate independently. We're truly grateful for the ongoing support Takamori Academy has provided. Thank you, Captain Sugiura. No, my only wish was to battle against a powerful Union once again. However, this revival happened faster than I expected. Sasaki-kun. Yuka! Oh, Y-Yes! Thanks to you, Union's academy force has really shot up, Overclock Princess. O-Order Korokke Pudding? Overclock Princess. What? You haven't heard about it? They're calling you that all over the internet. What!? I'm an order korokke pudding? We just said it's not that! Now, now… I believe it's only a matter of time before you're all the center of attention. All of us? A former track elite, and one of the fastest players in high school circlet bout, Miyuki Kasahara. O-Oh, please… Wielding near identical swordsmanship to Ayana Kuroda, with the ability to achieve even greater heights, Reina Kuroda. You're going too far! The surprise newcomer that won with a gun, one of the most difficult weapons to handle, Nina Averin. Yeah! And lastly, I presume you're Union's trump card? No, I only provide support. I won't participate in games. That's unfortunate to hear… In any case, your team's potential is beyond expectations! Let's meet again during the semifinals. We're looking forward to it, Sugiura-san! The semifinals! Which means I'll get to face Chikage-san next! Umm… When they come from the right, I intercept from below? Then I need to counter… Wait, hold on, should I swing like that, G-kun? Enough already! Try thinking for yourself a bit! But! I only managed to make it this far, thanks to your advice! You fool! I gave you advice so you could learn to win on your own! But, but! Ouch! Focus on the match! Rather, if you want to know something, consult me! Oh… That's right! Um, what are your hobbies? Tea and flower arran- Wait, why are you asking me about that! What!? I asked because you said I could! Yuka is pretty fired up. Well, if we beat Takamori, we'll face Kurojishi next. Idiot! Isn't it fine if I ask you anything!? I was referring to your questions towards G-kun earlier. Those two years of effort will have finally paid off. Oh… you meant that. It's obvious that she'd be excited about this. I see… Before she came here, she spent the last two years practicing offline, right? Yeah, when she barely even knew the rules of circlet bout. Now that I think about it, we really don't know much about Yuka… It's not just Yuka, we're clueless about her circlet, as well… Okay, so… When they come from the left, I swing from behind? Who gave you that circlet, Yuka… That'll make things more difficult! What!? It's not just limited to Yuka, right? We've all met recently, and much time hasn't passed. I mean, even with Nina. I like cola. We know that… I like games, more or less. More or less? Somewhat. Somewhat!? See, wasn't that new? Guess you're right… Okay! In order to clear the upcoming semifinals, let's train to improve our teamwork! What sort of training? We're all going out! Wow! Race to the top, St. Union Academy! Good luck in the championships! Yuka-chan! That's right, you don't leave the dorm often, so you haven't seen all this. Well, isn't it crazy? It's amazing, I can't believe it! Overclock manju. Overclock Manju What!? No way! Oh, it's Union! I'm rooting for you! Feel free to take this! Please take ours, as well! Please try some! Thank you. P-Please take these! Y-Yeah… Overclock We ended up receiving a bunch. We really did, I'd love to repay them with a victory… It's hot! Here, drink this! This is carbonated! Oh, you can't handle carbonated drinks? What is this? Xiaolongbao. What? Oh, you're right. 480 kcal. What!? 480 kcal. Which means, with all of this… Don't worry. Huh? You'll be fine if you work off the amount you eat. Okay, I'll eat some, too! That's not very convincing coming from Nina… Yeah… Looks great on you, Yuka! Furthermore, this is our latest outfit. Oh! You look wonderful. Does it fit me? What is this!? Tanuki! Hey, Nina! Why did you pick a tanuki!? Tanuki… Excuse me, Miss… Could you please refrain from adjusting anything! I'm asking why! Tanuki! Okay, next… What? It's not fair that you get to sing again! Hey, shut it! Didn't you just power through three songs!? But, but! Number 23! The Ruler of the Universe, great Miyuki! Number 24! Grassland Beauty! Lovely Yuka-cha- What!? I'm singing! What are you saying, that's not fair! Hey, let go! I'm going up next! Then, how about this! Okay, the stage is yours! M-Me? Captain's orders! Hurry up, it's starting! Ah… Well, umm… Guiding this sea of words, with a steady swing… I recall that gaze that felt embedded in time... Despite these powerful emotions, they're unable to reach… Yuka! Sing with me! I can't help but let out a sigh… Oh, okay! The one thing I'm truly certain of, is my love for this dazzling world… I want to keep fighting! Yeah! Tightening this grasp, I'll confront the depths of solitude. Continuing to change, ever so slightly, I'll reach that desired view. Those overflowing feelings are enough to make anything resound. That earnest will and passionate warmth, continues to move my heart... Deepening this bond! Yay! This is definitely the most relaxing spot. It really is… I'll admit, this was a great escape before our match… My total is 2,000 kcal. A-Aren't you eating too much… Actually, I've been wondering about this for a while... What is that? Circlet bout. What? MR is a byproduct of the circlet bout system. Wow, that's amazing! Race to the top, St. Union Academy! Including that… And that. As well as that! Without circlet bout, MR wouldn't have this much influence. That reminds me, why did you decide to join this club? I was interested in the concept of circlet bout. Really, so that's why? You didn't know either, Miyuki-chan? Yeah. Hey, come on, fill us in a little more! It'll be long. Aren't we in the middle of teamwork training? Everyone wants to learn more about you. Okay… To begin, when discussing the initial goal circlet bout aims to achieve… That lies within the progressing evolution of MR technology. Essentially, further developing one's possibilities. On the other hand, factors pertaining to MR space rendering, and reproducing sensations, are essential elements that have yet to be officially revealed… Okay, hold on! Y-You're really getting into a big one… I told you it would be long. I-I think it's wonderful to research a field you're fascinated by! Fascinated… I'm willing to do anything to learn more about circlet bout. S-Sorry, I couldn't follow any of that… That phrasing makes it sound like you'd even become a spy… Ayumu would never do something like that! Yeah, that's true! Wow! Isn't she stunning? However, this princess isn't just about looks. She's unbelievably strong. Really… Dad, can you make a white dress for me, too! How about making one on your own? I'll teach you everything. What, on my own? Yep, I'm sure you'll love it. Watching, and actually trying, are on different levels. But, I can't do things like you… Don't say you can't, just work until you can. My body is aching… It's been a while since I've had a dream about dad… I need to organize the Takamori research data. Oh, Ayumu-chan? You're practicing this early in the morning? I sort of woke up early. G-kun is still asleep, though. Cut it out… Don't you dare cover me in that umeboshi color… Why is a AI sleeping… This morning air feels wonderful! Hey, Yuka. Before you came to Union, have you ever met the person that gave you your circlet? No, I haven't… I see… But, they said I'd be reunited with Chikage-san if I had this. That's why I trusted those words, and continued to practice. I'm surprised you believed them so easily. Huh? I'd toss that thing the moment I received it! It's way too suspicious! What, really!? Why are you getting scared of it now? I guess you're right. If… I was able to turn back time, I still think I'd choose to accept this circlet. I want to stand on the same stage as her again. I'm willing to do anything to make that happen! Yuka… It's the same as you, willing to do anything to learn about circlet bout! What, me? For that… I'm hungry, but something like that! Let's wake Nina up, and have breakfast! Willing to do anything… If that's really true, There's still something I haven't done… Yuka. Yes? Battle against me. What? Do svidaniya… What are you thinking!? I mean, I get it… My stress levels would be through the roof if she made me eat those umeboshi everyday… But that doesn't mean- Yuka said she's willing to do anything. What? That's why I'll do anything, as well. Ayumu… Is it possible for us to fight in place of you? I won't be able to gather data that way. Move. Yuka is waiting. Are you really sure about this? Feel free to start. I've continued to research circlet bout this entire time… However, I've never obtained the information I truly desired. But that circlet may be the one and only clue, linking to my father… Ayumu-chan, you can't attack with a shield… You should probably worry about yourself. Huh? Using this weapon… is cheating. I knew it! You won't get away! What in the world is that!? She rewrote her weapon data! That's unfair! This isn't fair, Ayumu-chan! It's an obvious handicap! Now! Watch out! Just like I thought, she's two clocks over normal… No, she's reacting three clocks faster! An ordinary circlet shouldn't be capable of those movements! However… I'm not 100% certain yet! I'll settle this right now! What!? G-kun! Yuka! Hey! Father…! What? Hold it, are you aware of where you're standing? In front of Kurojishi's waiting room. Aren't you from Union!? I'm astonished you came here, despite knowing that! We've been awaiting your arrival. This way, if you will. Thanks. It's been a while, Ayumu. Hey. I see you're doing well. You too. It's unusual for you to visit. There's something I need to ask you. If you're referring to him, even I'm unaware. No, it's not about that. I came to ask you about Yuka Sasaki. Chikage, tell me everything that occurred in this convention center two years ago. About the overheating factor. That's why I told you! You brought this upon yourself, now you're facing a crisis! You really think you'll make it to the top like this, Yuka! Hey, are you listening to me, Yuka? Next time, Episode 8 "Revenge Match". ▶ [RyuujiTK] Circlet Princess - 08 [1080p] What? Hold it, are you aware of where you're standing? In front of Kurojishi's waiting room. Aren't you from Union!? I'm astonished you came here, despite knowing that! We've been awaiting your arrival. This way, if you will. Thanks. It's been a while, Ayumu. Hey. I see you're doing well. You too. It's unusual for you to visit. There's something I need to ask you. If you're referring to him, even I'm unaware. No, it's not about that. I came to ask you about Yuka Sasaki. Chikage, tell me everything that occurred in this convention center two years ago. About the overheating factor. Two years ago, I fought against Yuka Sasaki here. The overheating factor that occurred here... I've researched everything, from practice matches to official games. However, I've only been able to confirm the overheating factor during that moment. The circlet bout manufactures announced this overheat was due to your attack overloading the system, but that isn't correct. Yuka Sasaki… She's the key to everything. Did you realise anything when you were fighting Yuka? No matter how trivial it may seem, I want you to tell me. And why is that? I was under the assumption that you despised circlet bout. As well as me. I want to find out… What my father abandoned everything for, just to pursue… Everything about circlet bout. This is footage from my practice match against Yuka… She's fighting while exploiting a flaw in the system. Of course, she's unaware of her actions. I knew it… Now I'm certain. Yuka's strength, and where that originates. The speed of her attacks, is occurring faster than the circlet bout system can estimate. When that takes place, what occurs in MR is… That would be a shortcut. Normally, you'd be unable to dodge such a wide-range attack. However, her attacks are occurring faster than the system can process… So, in order to compensate for that processing delay taking place, the system is choosing to cut her intermediate actions. As a result, she's capable of attacking and defending at unthinkable speeds. That's the secret behind her strength. I assume you're capable of using this shortcut, as well. Yes. I had no idea what was occurring. But after battling Yuka, it all started coming together. I believe she was experiencing the exact same phenomenon. Two shortcuts taking place simultaneously, resulting in a massive system failure. That was the factor which resulted in the overheat. Yes, most likely. Yuka, and Chikage… I'm sure these two will connect me to my father's whereabouts. Ayumu. Utilizing system flaws is accompanied by risks. And now, Yuka is no longer an unknown newcomer. In order to defeat her, her opponents are viewing her games hundreds of times, and analyzing her. I'm sure you've realised it. At this rate, Yuka will lose. Onigiris and umeboshi are best partners! I did it. I-It's pointed! Weren't we making them triangles? Well, I guess that technically works, but- What are you up to? A-Ayumu-chan! We were making you dinner. What, for me? You left without having dinner, so I thought you'd be hungry. We were secretly making them to surprise you, but I guess you found out. Let's eat them together. That's a great idea! Have a seat and hold on, Ayumu-chan! Okay, thanks. I want to let Yuka and Chikage battle again… If that happens, I'm sure I'll get one step closer to my father… And… Okay, help yourself! Prijatnovo appetita. O-Our game is pretty soon… That's why we made them! You need to eat up, so we can win, Ayumu-chan! What did you put inside, Nina-chan? Beets. A delicious vegetable used in borscht, that's beets. What! Why didn't you pack it with umeboshi!? I thought it was fine since they're also red… Start over after you've at least pickled them! Don't insult beets. I ate them, to win… You'll do anything to play against Chikage Fujimura, right? Yes! Then we're going to do this! Okay! Do what…? Training! Training? Essentially, in order to compensate for the processing delay, The system is opting to cut these intermediate actio- S-Slow down, Ayumu! What? Don't "what" me, I'm completely lost! Huh… No look, Yuka's been out of it the minute you started! I've got the gist of it. How about you, Reina? Basically, Yuka's attacks are landing faster than anyone can predict, correct? Well, that's essentially what's going on. Oh, so that's what you said! I've always felt something like that was taking place. Once you understand what's occurring, you can easily prepare for it… Ah, so that's why! Yeah, there's the possibility that Takamori is ready to deal with it. What? That's why we're training! She's attacking faster than you can see, and her reaction time leads to overwhelming defense. Her fans giving her the nickname, Overclock Princess, was in many ways correct. In order to catch up to her, I'm certain the system is performing adjustments. It's not that you can't follow her movements, they're not being displayed in MR. That's possible…? Listen, don't believe what's in sight, predict her movements and intercept them. So, the semifinals are tomorrow… It feels so strange. Strange? I mean, not too long ago, the club was facing a crisis. But now, we've made it all the way to the semifinals. I'll get to pick up where I left off against Chikage… That dream is finally about to come true! Yuka. What is it, G-kun? In your next match, no matter what happens, don't depend on me. Try to figure things out with your own strength. What? I'm an AI designed for training. From the perspective of skilled players, I'm a useless device. W-What are you saying, G-kun? In any case, consider this a form of advice. I expect great things from you in tomorrow's match. Right… Takamori Academy - St. Union Academy Princess Cup Tournament Semifinals Takamori Academy vs St. Union Academy All right, this is the semifinals against Takamori we've been waiting for! Let's get our revenge from the practice game! We'll support you guys! Yeah! We're counting on you! Overclock Princess. Right! How dependable! Ouch! Oh, come on, this is nothing! She's taking damage before the game… Don't worry, there isn't much time, so I doubt it'll matter. I'll never beat Chikage-san, if I can't win here! U-Um, you're from Takamori… You can't even remember my name? Oh, no! Umm… Iida-san! There's no mistaking you're strong. Huh? That's why you don't think anything of Takamori, and simply focus on defeating Chikage Fujimura, correct? But we've continued to study Union… and more importantly, you. We'll never lose to anyone that considers our battle to be some preliminary! We're down to the Princess Cup Semifinals! St. Union Academy will face off against Takamori Academy! Reina Kuroda vs Yoshino Start the bout! Purple Lightning Flash! Reina-san! Your attacks will never reach me! I'll make sure to slic- Yuka is much faster! We have a knockout! Thank goodness! All right! Guess that's Ayana Kuroda's sister for you… No, that phrase can no longer measure her strength… Captain, please stop getting excited whenever our opponent is strong. Oh, sorry about that, I couldn't help myself. Well, guess I'll head out! Captain Sugiura is showing up now!? We did happen to lose the first round. We'll need to shut that point lead down. Are you saying you'll never lose to me? I'll make you regret that! Miyuki Kasahara vs Hiyori Sugiura Start… the bout! What!? That was a wonderful strike! However, you won't beat me with speed alone. That goes for you, and Yuka Sasaki! It's a knockout! She's strong… That's captain Sugiura, her strength is overwhelming. Yuka! Round 3 Yuka Sasaki vs Kasumi Iida Takamori has been studying Union. Even then, I wonder if you'll be able to make it… To reach me. G-kun! In your next match, no matter what happens, don't depend on me. Try to figure things out with your own strength. Start the bout! You're slow, you think you can hold back since you beat me in a practice match!? So, what sort of training will we give her? She's been using the shortcut unconsciously this entire time, so she'll learn to use it at will. I understand! So… what does that me? You don't understand at all! First, when you swing G-kun, we have to understand the speed required to activate a shortcut. You'll need to learn the difference. Your normal attacks, and those utilizing the shortcut, or "overclock attacks". You have to bring them forth interchangeably. Don't let her figure out when your overclock attacks are coming. If you can achieve that… All right! But it was shallow! It's no problem when you charge in like some one-trick pony! Just focus on learning her patterns! She managed to stop Yuka! I've caught you, Princess! She's reading her attacks… Guess it comes down to a lack of training! Yeah… Though, it's taking everything she has. We're at a stalemate. Listen, don't believe what's in sight, predict her movements and intercept them. I don't mind if you're only blocking, just wait for a gap to exploit. But! We can't win by simply blocking… Oh no, you will win! G-kun! You're finished! G-kun… The game is already over… G-kun. G-kun!? No, you couldn't be! Please say something, G-kun! G-kun! St. Union Where's Yuka? She wouldn't wake up for breakfast. I tried knocking, but no reply. Let's go wake her up. Yeah, that's right. I'm sure she was shocked, but losing is another part of learning. We've got to give it our all moving forward! We'll get a chicken dinner this time. That's right. Come on, let's go! Yuka, Yuka? Captain's orders, wake up! Let's open it with the master key. It's already open… Yuka? Where did she go? Look! I'm sorry, Yuka I'm sorry…? Did Yuka leave? Let's go! Go…? Where? Yuka's home! Yuka? Don't ya' need to attend school? Takin' it online earns credit, so it'll be fine. She suddenly comes back without a word, but now she's just lying around. Will this girl be okay… Let her be. Yuka… If you were that troubled, why didn't you consult us first! Can you talk to us? Tell us what's wrong… By the way, how do you get to Wakayama from Tokyo? Next time, Episode 9 "Home Coming". ▶ [RyuujiTK] Circlet Princess - 09 [1080p] Dear, have ya' seen Yuka? Huh? She's in the storage room again. She's doin' that strange game again. Difficulty B+ That circuit bat one. She's been absorbed in that thing ever since she came back from her Tokyo trip. Should we really leave her be? It's fine if she found somethin' she really loves. Athletic Scholarship Guide I-I can't stop… I can't lose here… Chikage-san is waiting for me up ahead! We definitely can't pass on the takoyaki! Then we've got to grab some okonomiyaki, and these meat buns… What about you, Nina? Are you after that limited cola? Yeah. Osaka's limited, Deep-fried Skewered Cola! Whoa, that's crazy… I can't imagine how that would taste, will it be good? If it's cola, all is forgiven. Listen, we didn't come here to have fun! I get it… But we're all the way out here, can't we enjoy it a little? Yuka is obviously our main priority! Have your fun after we've taken care of that! Did you hear that, hun? This is coming from the woman that was so abusive towards Yuka! Looks like someone's been tamed. Hey, you two! What have you been doing? I'm getting close to figuring this out. Huh? About Yuka, and a few other mysteries. Grandpa, can I use the storage room? Yeah, go ahead! It's been a while… OFF LINE Difficulty A+ G-kun… True Osaka Station We finally arrived… My butt hurts a bit. Wasn't Yuka in Wakayama? It should be right next to Osaka. Hang on a bit more, right, Reina- What's up? Three and a half hours… This can't be real… It's longer than everything until now… Pull it together, Nina! We still have a long way to go! L-Let's get going! Not another train… Yuka, are you going somewhere? Sasaki's Umeboshi I'm going out for a walk. It's almost time for supper, so hurry back. 'kay! Yay! This is no fun… Nekosegawa-Oji Center Lifelong Learning Computer Room Wow, that looks so fun! I found something interesting by going to Tokyo, and I was able to meet Chikage-san… But, I lost right before reaching her. I feel terrible for what I did to everyone. I'm so sorry, everyone… Isn't that something you should tell us in person? Huh!? I knew you were in the countryside, but I never expected this… G-Ghost? Huh!? What are you saying! We came here to talk to y- I know it's all my fault! But you don't need to haunt me just because I lost! Hey! Don't go killing us off! Wait! What's up with her!? She's like a wild monkey. Those unbelievable athletic abilities… and her abnormal adaptive capability. I-I get it now! So this is her- Ayumu! Save the analysis for later! Keep running! R-Right… We finally caught her… Yuka… Why did you run away from us, without saying anything? T-That's… Because you lost against Takamori? Yes… I couldn't stop thinking about how everything came to an end… So… See, it's just like I said? Yuka, you didn't understand. What? The double elimination system. Even if you lose once, there's a chance to make a comeback. Huh? Then that means I can fight against Chikage-san! Yes, you still have that opportunity. But… I really can't. Ever since that game, G-kun stopped responding… What!? Really!? Yes… That's why I assumed everything was over… Yuka, I understand you were shocked, but our battle isn't over. Reina-chan… I'm sure there's still something we can do. So, let's head back. B-But… Come on, let's go! Y-Yuka! Women's Bath I'm jealous… There's a hot spring in walking distance from your house… Nina! You can't swim here! Prosti… Um… I'm sorry about earlier. Don't worry about it, I was being careless. That's not true… All I've done was cause everyone trouble… I've been like this ever since I came home… It's made my grandmother constantly worry… I've been so focused on circlet bout, and only thought about myself… I really am helpless... And selfish… Yuka. Without mistake, you're selfish. If left alone, you rush into things recklessly, and there's nothing more troublesome than you. However, It's because of who you are, that you were able to move us all, and give us courage! That's why we've made it this far. Everyone… You're our ace! Don't say you'll disappear. Okay! You're all trusting me so much, and I need to give it my all… I can't keep acting like this. Is it because Sieg isn't here? Yes, I've been with G-kun ever since I went to Union. I don't know how I'll fight alone going forward… Yuka, you gave me courage. Nina-chan? That's why it's my turn to work hard for you. I'll teach you a sniper's thought process. I guess I'll teach you when to rush in, then. I'll think of a way to do something about your weapon. Everyone…! We all want to help you. We intend to repay you for everything you've done for us. Reina-chan… Didn't you tell me? To depend on you more. Now it's our turn to tell you. Yuka, depend on us more! Everyone… You're all supporting me this much… I'm no good, honestly… Once again, I, Yuka Sasaki… will return to Union immediately, and do my best! Wow… H-Hey! Before that, make sure you cover yourself, Yuka! It's fine! Aside from us, there are only wild animals around here! That isn't the issue! You need to have a bit more shame! Ah, the way you said that! You sound a bit like G-kun! Wow, talk about a feast! There isn't much around to offer, but please enjoy your stay. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, thank you for having us. I guess these are unavoidable. Noroto Cider Highly Carbonated! Highly Carbonated! This could work! Um, is Yuka working hard over there? She's a bit naive about the outside world, we were wondering if she was causing any trouble. Yuka-san is doing her best. Rather than causing trouble, she's our team's dependable ace. Yeah. Is that so, that's wonderful to hear. The moment the scholarship came in, I wasn't sure what to make of it, but she's managing just fine. A scholarship came in? Correct, she visited Tokyo when she was in middle school. Then, when she came back, a letter from Union arrived. It was so sudden, everyone was surprised! That's what's going on! Yuka, do you remember the person that gave you your circlet? Huh? She mentioned a strange old man, you mean that? Oh, that's right! I met a pervert! The person who gave you that is, Makoto Aizawa… My father! What!? It's no good, Sieg isn't there, after all. No way… Even the voice recognition program is missing without a trace. It's completely blank. That's odd though… Shouldn't any damaged weapon return to normal after a match? Yeah, but in actuality, the weapon data is missing. What… but that's strange. When I was training yesterday, I was able to play normally… Training? Yes, before I enrolled in Union, I used that mode to play at home. What was it again… I was told I could use offer line… Um, from your father! Offer line…? Oh! Offline mode! Yes, that's it! An off line! Yuka, could you show me that? It's here, Ayumu-chan. All right, you can get started. O-Okay… See, it's right here! She's right, her weapon was able to materialize! But there was no activity earlier. It's just a guess, but it may have been hidden. Hidden? Intentionally, though I'm not sure for what purpose… That said, I've never seen a space like this before… I'm sure you haven’t… Since this is completely custom made. Custom!? Why does Yuka have something like that? Yuka, you can start. Understood! Difficulty A+ T-This is! It's huge! What is going on, the values keep altering. It's unbelievably fast… These movements are unreal… Yuka is amazing! By progressively raising the difficulty, your body becomes familiar with the movements, until you're able to perform the actions naturally… You could call it a battle development kit. I've been analyzing Yuka's circlet this entire time, but now I finally understand it. Understand what? Circlet Bout DKX. It's something unique, that only my father possesses. Why would Yuka be given something like that? My father… Makoto Aizawa, was the engineer that developed the MR system. His desire was for the MR system to be prevalent. Then, around a decade ago, a popular VR game gave him a hint, which led him to developing a new game. And that game was circlet bout? Right. The game's development was going well. However, if it was released at that point, there was no guarantee that it would take off. So to begin, they cultivated an unrivaled player. Wait, you don't mean! Precisely, Chikage Fujimura, she was a star prepared by the management. My father's objective was successful, and she gained incomparable abilities. But the project was shelved there… Why? Wasn't it successful? I'm not sure… Shortly after, my father separated from the team… Even his whereabouts are unknown. The only thing my father left behind was this terminal. That's why I assumed all the answers would lie here. Though, it looks like the hint was in that. I've finished! Your father was after something, and chose to entrust this circlet to Yuka? That's right. It's true that Yuka has grown stronger… However, she's become shackled by that playstyle as a result. Was he also after that? Yeah, Sieg's disappearance, as well. I'm sure there's a reason behind everything. But, for what reason… Huh? U-Umm… I'm sorry, Yuka. For getting you wrapped up in all of this… Huh? This is most likely a challenge from my father. Challenge? What do you mean…? I'm not sure, but what I can say is, If she continues to fight like this, Yuka won't be able to win again. If Yuka can no longer win, our battle will also come to an end. T-Then, I can't play against Chikage-san ever again!? No, that's not it, Yuka. Don't say you can't… Work until you can. I'll make sure you're guided to the stage, Princess. Have a safe trip back. Thank you for everything. Yuka, you finally found somethin' you really love, so work hard. I will! Nekose Transportation Nekosegawa-Oji We've finally got Yuka back, let's do something to get us all fired up! Like a team huddle? What are you saying now, we don't need to do that. No! These are orders from your captain. Hmm, it'd be great if we had something to toast with… Oh! I have just the thing! A toast with umeboshi… Well, why not, it'd suit us anyway. Nekose Transportation Okay, everyone, take one! Okay! Take the lead, Yuka! You want me to? Yeah. As our ace. We're counting on you. I understand! Well… Fight, Union! Yeah! Kurojishi Sougou Academy - Takamori Academy Damn… We still can't reach them. We still have a second chance. Don't give up. The next match in the loser's bracket. Will Union win their game, and face us? They'll make it! However, they're going down. In order for us to come out on top… Yuka is finally back, so there's nothing to worry about now! Wait, why does everyone have such a serious look!? Were Yuka's umeboshi that sour? Next time, Episode 10 "Evolution Girl". ▶ [RyuujiTK] Circlet Princess - 10 [1080p] No matter how much you shoot, you'll never pierce this shield. In order to clear our previous humiliation, we've devised the perfect counter strategy. This shield, which is formed by the resources of everyone in our club, can't be measured with mere numbers! You could call this the strength of Musashino Kyuoh's bond! Now, if you think you can break this, go ahead an- Nina-chan is amazing! She fell right into Nina's plan! Yeah! You think we can still catch it? The match between Kurojishi and Takamori? It'll decide who we face next. There's no harm in watching it. You've got that right. I won't accept… this loss… Kurojishi Sougou Academy - Takamori Academy So, Kurojishi won, after all… Chikage-san… That's right, we need to focus on our next opponent! Yeah. Well, for starters, great work everyone! Wait, what's up with you guys!? We're playing against Takamori next. A team we've already lost to… Come on, there's no point in being scared. That same Takamori just lost to Kurojishi! It'll work out somehow! I can't believe you're this terrible at cheering others up. What was that!? I'm certain Sugiura will be representing Takamori. Miyuki, what did you think, since you actually played her? Sugiura… Her entire play-style just seemed flawless. On the other hand, it was like she knew me down to my every step. It felt like an obsession for an indisputable victory. Indeed, they're completely different from last year. Rather than winning, I assumed their team focused on traditions and pride. Um! Um… Please let me play in the next game! Yuka would be our best bet against Sugiura, whose overall abilities are outstanding. Reina-chan! All right! You'll be up in the next game! Right, thank you so much! Now that it's decided, we'll do everything we can to support you! Let us know if you need anything or have a question. Oh, that's right, my weapon… It's been acting strange ever since G-kun disappeared. What? What do you mean by strange? It sort of feels floaty, or maybe really stiff... like, bam! What does that mean? I understand the cause. Really? It's time for a new weapon. Yuka, let's build a new one! A new weapon! Why not, captain!? Why won't you do it? We've already discussed this countless times. I can't accept that. Our best should decide the losers match! You should be the one playing. Union has a similar thought process, and they intend to use Yuka Sasaki as a countermeasure. H-However! This is essential for winning. She already lost to you, and she hasn't shaken off the defeat of her overclock. Simply knowing she'll face you again will put her under immense pressure. Use this. What is that? Apparently, this will drastically improve your reaction time. Similar to our plan for countering the overclock, I'm sure this will aid you. All right, get back to practice everyone! Yes ma'am! Are you really fine with that? Huh? Yuka Sasaki's growth is remarkable. We need to win while we can, and I want to give Iida confidence. So Takamori can win next year, as well. Then, Chikage Fujimura is still… That was a monster… She thoroughly understands circlet bout. No, when I played against Chikage Fujimura, the circlet bout system finally seemed complete. I couldn't help feeling that… But, Hiyori! However, no matter how strong she may be, she'll retire this year. Takamori will shatter Kurojishi next year, and claim victory. To achieve that, I need to do everything I can now. Ever since you became captain, I thought the club changed for the better. But, you don't need to shoulder everything alone. Going forward, we'll use the circlet to collect your data. My data? Why would we need that? Because Sieg isn't here. Sieg wasn't simply giving you advice. Sieg would constantly monitor your condition, and analyze your battle data, to adjust your weapon status into the most optimal condition. Basically, Sieg was altering everything for you. I see… so that's why. But that's no longer suitable for you, so we'll need a new weapon, exclusively for you. Exclusively for me? That sounds wonderful! What!? 1000 push-ups, a 20 km run, 100 hill dashes… What is all this!? Unnecessary movements decrease when you're exhausted, so it'll be easier to collect your data. What!? We'll start with this workout and push you to your limit. To my… limit? Don't worry, this should be easier than running around in the mountains! Okay, get running! As soon as you finish, we'll move to battle simulations! We don't have time! Y-Yes ma'am! I wonder how everyone else is doing… We'll need all these resources just to create a new weapon… We've got to do it! Yuka needs a replacement for Sieg! I understand that. However, even if we passed it through the student council as a special budget, I'm not sure we'll be capable of securing these resources… Use mine. Whoa! You have that much… how did you? Through games, I'll also ask my followers if they can pitch in. Then, I'll try reaching out to some other clubs! Got it. The student council will also do everything in their power. Way to go, Miss Student Delegate! Harasho! St. Union This is the student delegate, Reina Kuroda. Today, I'd like to reach out to the student body of St. Union Academy. Currently, the circlet bout club is in need of an immense amount of resources. I don't mind if it's only a small amount, I'd like to request some of your resources. Of course, I'm not forcing you. But please, lend us your strength. Pirozhki Lovers - Please, everyone Pirozhki Lovers - It's serious Wha???? It's unusual for Piro to be so serious Right Don't things seems pretty tight? I know Overclock Manju We need everyone's help, so our ace can stand up once again! Please help us. Overclock Manju Thank you so much! Harasho! This is unbelievable, I have to inform Yuka! She already knows. What? Yuka was watching, as well. She's serious! It's my job from here on out. I'll prepare the ultimate weapon for Yuka. I can't believe it… Everyone in Union, and around the city. There are so many people supporting me… When I was back home, I was always alone. Oh! This place is pretty shabby, but the bath is surprisingly nice. Miyuki-chan!? It's not just me. What? They renovated the plumbing system a few years ago. Though, with the limited budget, everything else remained untouched. Reina-chan, too! Why are you here!? Training camp apparently. Huh? We made sure to get permission. Nina, where's Ayumu? She needed to do something in her room. Ayumu told us she wanted various battle patterns, so you're playing against us, with all the time we can squeeze out tomorrow! You're not alone, Yuka. We've come this far, all that's left is to win, Yuka! Right! I have more than enough resources. All that's left is to give it my all. Training camp… it sounds a bit exciting. Now, I understand I've been fighting with everyone's support. Watch over me, Sieg. Ah… This accuracy just won't budge without Sieg… Wait, isn't this Sieg's… Autonomous agent! Today, the Princess Cup losers match will take place! Will all ticket holders please proceed to the entrance. My apologies for the wait, Miss. I never requested a guide. Indeed, I'm sure you no longer require me. Aizawa sensei!? It's been a while, Chikage-kun. Where have you been all this time… More importantly, why are you a guide? What about you? Won't you stand out in your uniform? I-I came here right after class, so I didn't have time to… Who do you think will win? In terms of ability and experience, Sugiura dominates. Furthermore, Yuka's trump card, the overclock, has been cracked. Sugiura will likely take this. However, you're not truly convinced about that. A straightforward analysis doesn't apply when considering Yuka. Witnessing her growth after a single loss, that's far more interesting. It would appear that making the arrangements were correct. Wait… Did you inform Takamori about her overclock? Things went well up to that point. What? That's… I handed this to Sugiura for today's match, but it was sent right back to me. Huh? That was quite the surprise. Now, I wonder how things will turn out. What's going on here! Why won't you play against Yuka Sasaki!? Which of you is responsible for doing this!? Hiyori Sugiura vs Yuka Sasaki I did it. Yoshino senpai!? Didn't you tell us back then, captain! That this isn't real circlet bout! Senpai! What was that previous game!? Playing a match you don't intend to win, is that how Takamori handles things!? Can you still call yourself a candita!? Hiyori! A-As long as Chikage Fujimura is around… Takamori has no chance of winning… Don't you realise that? Amongst the upperclassmen, a few have been scouted by overseas leagues. A single injury could jeopardize everything… No! That isn't real circlet bout! Ultimately, they clashed with you, and all our regulars last year resigned. I understand you feel responsible for that. However, I'm not the strongest player at Takamori. Captain Sugiura, you are. Iida… you… Ever since you became captain, I thought the club changed for the better. But, you don't need to shoulder everything alone. Please give it everything you've got, captain! Iida… I want to see things through till the end, as the last remaining third year student. The battle of Takamori's new circlet bout club! We didn't have any time to test things out, but do you think you'll manage? I'm fine, since it's the weapon everyone built together. Be cautious, you mustn't let your guard down until you see through her tactics. Right. Well, that's only a front… Don't worry about those tricks, just give it your all! Okay! All right, let's go! I'm looking forward to playing you. We haven't played since we first met. In Takamori's traditional 100-man-kumite, you were the last person remaining. Thank you very much, I really enjoyed it. As did I. I want to battle you again, a serious match next time… I couldn't get that out of my head. I'll defeat you, and challenge Kurojishi once again with my team! I won't lose, everyone's watching me! Momentarily, the losers final will commence! Hiyori Sugiura VS Yuka Sasaki Start the bout! Hmph, she shortened the blade to reduce its weight. When considering methods to draw out Yuka's abilities, it's not a bad decision. But it's stale! It's such an uninspired decision. What was she thinking with this surplus of resources. This isn't everything, right? I see, you intended to utilize your speed through that tiny weapon. However! Those light attacks aren't enough to shatter my defense! Yuka! Man, I guess that's captain Sugiura. She's matching Yuka's speed. It'd be wonderful if she could attack with her overclock, but… It'll likely be countered if she tries. If I'm correct… I knew it! It's reacting to Yuka! Hey, what's going on…? There's still something we can try! What, is that all you've got? I thought you managed to crawl your way back up, but... I'm honestly disappointed! That's the way! Desperately attack me! You'll never become stronger through fearing defeat. Once you've hit the lowest point, only those who rise again, through their own strength, can grow. You may be correct… But, there's a possibility that you're not! What? I couldn't stand back up alone! Everyone… I'm standing here because there are others I cherish! I see, so you're the same. That's even more reason I can't afford to lose! I won't lose either! If I drop my focus for even a moment, she'll take this… An opportunity is sure to emerge! I have to move faster… be even sharper! Right there! Her weapon was destroyed! Yuka! The sword that… everyone gave me! This is the end! I haven't lost yet! This is… That's what Sieg left behind! Just for you! G-kun did… I see… I was never alone… Here I go! There are two blades!? That's the conclusion derived from the prototype!? For Yuka, who evolves during battle, she needs a weapon capable of evolving, as well! Sieg left behind the key just for that! Where did this speed come from…? If one isn't enough, just make another!? How simplistic! Captain! Wow! Even Sugiura can't land a hit! Not just that, it's taking everything she has just to defend! The new weapon is drawing out Yuka's strength! Yeah, Sieg really is amazing! Now's your chance, Yuka! Yuka! Yuka! Yuka, finish it! Right! Our winner is Yuka Sasaki! St. Union Academy advances to the grand finals! Just look at that. Those are the final parts. For you, my greatest masterpiece, to advance to the next stage. We finally made it this far, Nina! Da! Even I'm starting to feel nervous now. Yuka will be fine. You're right. I'm sure she'll mess something up. You can't say that! Next time, Episode 11 "Grand Final". ▶ [RyuujiTK] Circlet Princess - 11 [1080p] If I drop my focus for even a moment, she'll take this… An opportunity is sure to emerge! I have to move faster… be even sharper! Right there! Her weapon was destroyed! Yuka! The sword that… everyone gave me! This is the end! I haven't lost yet! This is… That's what Sieg left behind! Just for you! G-kun did… I see… I was never alone… Here I go! There are two blades!? That's the conclusion derived from the prototype!? For Yuka, who evolves during battle, she needs a weapon capable of evolving, as well! Sieg left behind the key just for that! Where did this speed come from…? If one isn't enough, just make another!? How simplistic! Captain! Wow! Even Sugiura can't land a hit! Not just that, it's taking everything she has just to defend! The new weapon is drawing out Yuka's strength! Yeah, Sieg really is amazing! Now's your chance, Yuka! Yuka! Yuka! Yuka, finish it! Right! Our winner is Yuka Sasaki! St. Union Academy advances to the grand finals! Yuka! Looks like you're back, Yuka. Using two swords was pretty cool. Are you going to try two rifles? That's not a bad idea. Thank you, Yuka. No, I should thank you. Thank you so much, Ayumu-chan. Captain Sugiura… Circlet bout was finally getting interesting, but… we couldn't last to the end. Raise your head! Today's a fresh start, as we work towards winning next year! Right! So, you dragged Yuka all the way up here… Just to have her face me? No, you're mistaken. Yuka's captivation with you led her this far. But weren't you also the one who made me? I simply served as a catalyst. Evolution is a process that's witnessed, not conducted. As expected… No, you're a masterpiece beyond my expectations. That goes for Yuka-kun, as well. What stage will you elevate us to during the grand finals… I can't wait to witness it. It's still consuming resources… I assumed it reached its final form, but there's the possibility of an even further evolution? What's going to happen? G-kun, I've made it to the grand finals. Watch over me, G-kun. Wow, this is amazing! It looks so real! W-What's going on!? This is where it all started… Are you lost again? Chikage-san! No... I came here with my goal of reaching you. Did Ayumu tell you about the person who handed you that circlet? It was Ayumu's father, correct? He's attempting to take advantage of you. Even then, do you intend on fighting me? Of course! Honestly, I'm still uncertain about those complicated parts, but… It's because circlet bout is fun! Yes, that's right. I can’t wait for the grand finals. I feel the same. I'm looking forward to it! We're down to the Princess Cup's grand final! The match between Kurojishi Sougou Academy, and St. Union Academy will begin momentarily! Don't forget we came here from losers! Which means everything ends if they take two games. Miyuki and I will make sure you get your chance! Thank you! At first, I only wanted to play Chikage-san again. That was all I cared about… But things are different now! I want the five of us to beat Kurojishi! Yeah. And… All right then! Let's give it our all! Fight, Union! Yeah!! Is he here, as well? Aizawa sensei. Yes, I'm sure he's here, watching from the shadows. He simply visited to watch that Yuka girl, correct? After feigning ignorance and abandoning us second-generations. His only interests are Chikage senpai, and that girl… He truly is a selfish man… Chikage senpai! Shall we take care of Union before you even need to face Yuka Sasaki? Hmph, what would our sponsors say if we went and did that? I don't mind. What? Circlet bout is a team sport… Kurojishi's victory takes priority over everything. There isn't an ounce of truth in those words… The grand final features three rounds! We'll conduct one-on-one matches! Well, I truly adore long weapons, since they're easier to bind! Sarina Sekiguchi VS Reina Kuroda! Start the bout! She took a serious blow! All right! I'll strip you of everything, so you can taste my whip directly! That's not happening! My, how ungraceful. They're evenly matched. There's no way I could lose in strength! Did you assume Yuka was your only problem at Union!? No matter how hard I try, I'll never win against Chikage senpai… Since I was abandoned, as a failed project… My resolve buckled under those thoughts. I never once attempted to fight it. However… Yuka Sasaki… Hang in there, Reina-chan! I won't forgive you if you lose! Her existence ignited my desire! I was only making excuses, without confronting my own weakness! What about you!? Aren't you assuming Chikage Fujimura is your only problem at Kurojishi!? Never, I understand you're strong. But even then, I'll win! Our winner is Kurojishi Sougou Academy's, Sarina Sekiguchi! What was your name? Are you making fun of me? I have no intention of mocking you, I simply wasn't interested… Until recently. Indeed, Yuka Sasaki wasn't the only worthy opponent. Would you tell me your name? I'll remember it this time. Reina Kuroda. Please raise your head, Reina-chan! I'm sorry… We're up against Kurojishi. They're not a team we'd be able to beat easily. We're all aware of that. Are you okay, Miyuki? Leave it to me! Isn't this the moment where a star shines? Where does all your confidence come from… Anyway! Yuka, you can count on me to pass the baton, so take care of the last round. I will! Man… I went and said all that just to look cool… What's the matter? You seem rather frightened. I'm trembling with excitement! Oh, is that so? Then allow me to teach you true fear! Talk about creepy! Well… Looks like it's time to become a real star, Miyuki. Kurojishi Sougou Academy's, Takane Hibino VS, St. Union Academy's, Miyuki Kasahara! Start the bout! I wanted to make Chikage senpai suffer! Why did that man choose Yuka Sasaki instead!? What about Yuka!? I can't have you forgetting about me! Would you spare me the time and lose? I can't afford to stand here, humoring filth. I have no business with a loser. Chikage senpai is my sole rival. Would you be kind enough to step aside? I'll repeat myself one last time, I have no business with losers! What!? Amateur! Miyuki! Circlet bout isn't all about Chikage Fujimura! Everyone's giving their all! Our winner is St. Union Academy's, Miyuki Kasahara! T-That was underhanded… I'd never actually kick you. And don't forget… Boomerangs always return. Thank you so much, Miyuki-chan! We should be thanking you. Huh? Thank you, Yuka. You reminded me of how enjoyable circlet bout can be. I like games, but I enjoy playing circlet bout with everyone more. Nina-chan… Yuka, you're the one who'll become the Princess. The rest is up to you. Right! How tragic, Aizawa sensei… Only capable of observing us. You'll never truly understand while spectating from there. True clashes, competing against each other, the immense pleasure of improving! St. Union Academy's, Yuka Sasaki! Kurojishi Sougou Academy's, Chikage Fujimura! Let's finish what we started two years ago, Chikage-san! Let's! It's round three of the grand final! Start the bout! You're not the only one capable of activating the overclock. Yuka! Well… She can't land a hit!? Their difference in circlet bout experience is too large! Incapable of closing the skill gap… What will you do? I'll be on the offense this time. Huh!? I'm over here. Yuka! This battle is finished. That's… What is that strange light…? Sieg's autonomous mode activated on its own! I'll continue fighting till the very end! For G-kun, and my comrades, I'll never give up! Knuckles!? Is this the conclusion derived from the prototype!? Hey… Yuka's pushing her back! I get it now… That's what was going on! What? For Yuka, dual wielding was purely helping her break in this new play-style! Yuka is adapting to the circlet bout system at an unbelievable level! If you wanted to fully utilize that adaptability… You'd become one with your weapon, in that form! I'm being pushed back? I'm going to lose!? This is what I've longed for… A warrior at the same level… An opponent that could push me to the limit… And… for me to defeat them in the end! We have a reset! Our winner is St. Union Academy's, Yuka Sasaki! It's a reset from the losers side! Unbelievable… Chikage senpai lost… All right! Wait, we can't celebrate yet. If anything, we're just getting started… Hold on, something's off. What? Through the endeavor of adapting to one's environment, we trigger evolution. Chikage-kun... to achieve even greater heights, an existence capable of pushing you was necessary. The moment has arrived, when humanity elevates to the next stage. Now… let's begin. The ultimate circlet bout. Next time, the final episode, "Circlet Princess". ▶ [RyuujiTK] Circlet Princess - 12 [1080p] Now… let's begin. The ultimate circlet bout. Something unbelievable has just occurred! Our greatest player, Chikage Fujimura, has met defeat! With this reset, we advance to the final bout! I never expected her to experience a similar change. She seems unbelievably strong. Y-Yuka… Whoever controls this round will take home the victory! They'll earn the title of Princess! Now then… Start… the bout! Here I come! I can't land a hit!? Why… I've longed for this moment… This is the circlet bout I desired! I'm only getting started, Yuka. Ch… Chikage-san? I can hardly contain this elation. I'm finally able to pick up where we left off. Casting everything aside, being absorbed only in the battle… Just like back then. Picking up where we left off… You felt the same! Right now, it's just the two of us. Forget everything, including your team… and face me! T-This is her… Chikage Fujimura's true strength. She's amazing. I guess it would come to this. In the end, surpassing Chikage senpai was impossible. Indeed… I wonder what that Union girl intends to do. Chikage senpai acknowledged her, this won't end so easily. You're right. You really are amazing… I'm starting to think reaching you may be impossible… But… I really can't fight on my own… I wouldn't be capable of challenging you, if it wasn't for everyone's efforts. That's why! I'll definitely catch up to you! Wow... Was this also included in your plan, Ayumu? It was a weapon that could be altered based on the situation, but… That's… Yeah! It looks like there's nothing left for me to do for the princess! Yuka is so cool! I'm not really following this, but they look even now! Go for it, Yuka! For you to lose, after defeating me… I'd never allow that. You came this far to beat Chikage Fujimura, right? Give it all you've got! Don't worry, we're all here with you! As long as I have these bonds, I'll keep erupting with strength! I… won't lose! Yuka is amazing! She was on the verge of defeat… I can't believe her tenacity! Yuka's become even stronger, Ayumu. Yeah. So, this really wasn't over. I can hardly wait for next year. Not bad. Thank you, we've all worked hard to reach this stage! I see… so that's the path you've discovered. Very well, then try to reach me! You've truly become strong. Man, she's still on the losing side! If we don't have something else, turning things around won't be easy… Something else? Let's go, Yuka! We've got your victory umeboshi ready! Is this all according to my father's plan? You've learned to act on your own, Chikage-kun. That's the way. It's imperative that you make your own choices, rather than following instructions. Two warriors refining themselves. Using your brain, utilizing your tools, while striking with your emotions. The results born through that perseverance, will lead humanity to the future. That exists, far beyond anything I can begin to fathom. Giving shape to your emotions… This may have only been possible because of those two. Wow! Are they uniting with all the supporters spectating!? Maybe the change in Yuka's battle suit was in response to everyone's feelings. Everyone's emotions are coming together. Yeah… Right now, in this moment, we're all fighting alongside Yuka! Maybe this was the true meaning behind MR. Geez… For an engineering prodigy, you sure can be awkward. Indeed, that goes for both of us. You still had that much strength… Now, I'll turn this around! They truly are evenly matched! This last bout may be one for the books, as their brawl enters the final stretch! I expected nothing less. Not bad! No, it's too early to celebrate. All right! Don't we have a shot at winning now!? This doesn't look good… What? Yuka has already reached her limit. She needed to settle everything with that last attack… Everyone's strength, huh… I'll admit that it's a tremendous force. But in the end, victory goes to the one capable of improving themselves! I couldn't see it through till the very end. Even though everyone was supporting me… I'm sorry, G-kun… Come on! This isn't the time for apologies! W-What!? How spineless can you get! You're always like this when it matters most! G-G… G-kun!? Weren't you broken!? I already told you! I wanted you to fight on your own! That's why I decided to sit back for a while! But I can't even retire in peace with the way you're performing! Y-You don't have to say it like that! You know, I… I tried my best! Hmph, I wonder about that! You still lost yourself when it matters most! What makes you say that? Try thinking back! Why did you begin playing circlet bout!? Because it was fun? Why did you desire to play against Chikage Fujimura? Because it was… fun! You finally remembered, you imbecile! Honestly, you're truly a handful! G-kun… What is it? Thank you so much! Your gratitude is unnecessary. Look ahead, Yuka. You're accompanied by pleasure, and brimming with optimism. That's precisely why everyone chose to follow you. You mustn't forget that. I understand! All right, get back out there! Give it your all, so you'll have no regrets! I will! Yuka… you're the Princess. There's nothing to do… Nina, is anything interesting going on? I passed one million followers on my streaming channel. One million!? No way, you're pretty much set with that! I can drink cola for the rest of my life. Man, lucky you… I wonder if I'll ever get anything like that… But you received a sponsorship from your dad. That wasn't because I asked, he just called me out of the blue… I didn’t have a reason to turn him down… But that's not important! When are we getting that new club room, Reina! Two weeks from now! It's taking forever! What's the point of just getting a new sign… Can you hurry it up? Just bear with it! For starters, haven't you been slacking too much! Why can't I!? Don't I deserve a break after winning? That was three months ago. Here you go. Huh? St. Union faces a losing streak… With difficulty adapting to the new rules, Union is struck with three straight losses. They're back on path to being the weakest school. They can't be serious, who wrote this! However, it's undeniable that we're struggling with these new rules. Why did they change the rules! The overheat was problematic. Well, a lot happened during that match… Thanks to that, even weapons are faced with regulations… Well, we're not even playing one-on-one matches now. Implementing a system for teams to face off in a battle royale… That ended up being a difficult revision for us. Next year, from what we eat to everything we wear, we'll form a team with a mastery of red! No opponent will escape our crimson reach! I may have been defeated this year, but things won't be the same next year, Miyuki Kasahara! You'll witness how fierce my elegant team can be! Listen up! We're claiming the top next year. We won't let them call us a runner-up again! Yes ma'am! We're set for team battles. Indeed, we need to demonstrate how the top wins. A simple victory isn't enough. We need a team that lives up to Chikage senpai's name. Compared to everyone else, we haven't even formed a proper strategy. We can't blame the media for feeling uneasy about us. That's why we need to grab a coach, like other teams, and practice group battles! Oh yeah, what did Ayana-san say? She politely declined. Apparently, she's busy with individual battles over there. So we're stuck with fundamentals and stamina training… Don't worry, I called a replacement. Really? Yeah, I managed to pull a few strings, and found someone who participated in the overseas league. They plan on arriving today, so we'll get to meet them later. Thanks for helping with the coach So, did you ever get to meet your dad? Nope, not even once. Wha… Why not!? You said you knew where he was, and how to contact him. Well, seeing him was never my goal. And… What? MR System Design Specifications This is… Well, some interesting events happened, so I'm fine now. Really? Well, all right. More importantly, let's start practicing! Our coach is coming, too! Wait hold on, where's Yuka? The same place, as usual. It's only been three months… I wonder how Chikage-san is doing. Well, I should get going. Chikage-san! Overseas, single battles are still popular. I intend to give it my all there. I'll make sure to watch! Oh, I'll also cheer for you! I can't travel, so it'll only be from streams, but I'll leave comments! Yuka. Y-Yes! I'll become even stronger, but I learned that there's another player, capable of becoming just as powerful. Huh? That's why even now, I have a single rival… You're the only one, Yuka Sasaki. What!? Yuka, I'll be waiting. Right! Well, see you later. Have a safe trip! Chikage-san said… You really were here! What are you fantasizing about, Yuka!? Miyuki-chan! You sure do love this place, Yuka. B-Because! Well, this is where everything changed, so it makes sense. The holy pilgrimage. Oh, that's it! This is a special place! I don't know about all that holy visiting stuff, but we need to practice for our upcoming games. Are you aware of that, Miss Ace? I'm sorry. This is coming from the person who lays around the club room? Shut it, my rest is important! Even umeboshi need time to rest and pickle! See how essential resting is? Did you remember something? Yes, a little bit. We never figured out what happened, about why Sieg no longer responds. But in that final round, you said he came back? Geez, he just does whatever he wants. I may have been imagining everything… And… And? If Sieg came back, I'd just end up depending on him. I think that's why G-kun chose to leave. To help you mature... That sounds like something Sieg would do. That's why I'll become even stronger and responsible, then I'll try calling him again! Good idea! I don't know... you may become stronger, but I'm not sure about that responsible part. What, how come!? You've got a point. Yeah. Reina-chan, even Nina-chan! Our coach is at the school! We shouldn’t keep them waiting. You're right, let's head back. G-kun, please continue to watch over me! Yuka! Accepting new participants! Visit the official tournament homepage for details.

"RyuujiTK" Unofficial BD Batch ▶ [RyuujiTK] Circlet Princess - 01 (BD 1920x1080 x.265-10Bit Flac) This is amazing! I'm glad I took the plunge, and came out here! I'll definitely find something more interesting here! Oh, do I just need to follow this? Now then, on to our hit sport sweeping the nation! Circlet Bout! Today, we'll be conducting a pre-league match against Kurojishi Academy's prized ace, with an undefeated 50 match win-streak! Chikage Fujimura will be our guest! I've had enough. How long will I have to put up with these scripted matches? What would I gain from this? Our sponsors want to push your image as, "Kurojishi's ultimate player". But, this is basically— You're free to let loose in your final match against Union. I'm facing a rookie, correct? You could hardly call that practice. While I understand you're displeased, consider this your role, and try to bear with it. You've got some time before you begin, so try to cool off a bit. This is ridiculous… Did I take a wrong turn? What is this? Let's see… Is this the place? Wow, this is amazing! It looks so real! W-What's going on!? I'm so sorry! It's all right. I truly apologise for bumping into you! Why did you activate that? Ah, well umm… I just touched it out of curiosity, but things got a bit out of hand… Got you… So, what exactly is this? It's just an advertisement. Oh, I wasn't referring to that… Umm… Circlet Bout. C-Circuit Bat…? What's that? Circlet Bout. It's a new sport that's recently been the center of attention. Wow, a brand-new sport? Everything's unbelievable in the city! That said, it's leaning more towards being a show right now. I get it now, that's why she's so pretty? Is she some sort of idol? It's not like that! She's considered to be the strongest player… Being so pretty and strong must be wonderful. It's not all about appearances, your fitness is equally essential. Really? I'd love to give it a try! Do you think I'd be able to play? Are you interested in seeing it live? There's a match taking place soon. You should watch it if you're interested. Yes! Wait here for a moment. Got it, a girl in uniform. Uniform… uniform… I found her! Me? Sorry for making you wait so long. Are you here for the match? Yes! I'm here for the Circlet Bout match! Okay, I've got all the details, so follow me. Huh? Let's hurry, we're running short on time. C-Coming! That's odd… I was told someone would meet me here. What? She's gone… It's the moment you've all been waiting for! In this afternoon's Exhibition match, Chikage Fujimura, Kurojishi's ace, will be facing off against a rival school, St. Union Academy's rookie for a heated battle! I'm really sorry, so much was going on! Right. I tried to talk Kurojishi out of making this such a huge event… I'm sure this is a bit more than you expected… Will you be okay? Ah… Yes! Well, it'll all work out somehow! Yeah! By the way, what was your name? I'm Yuka Sasaki! The opposing member has completed their preparations! Here we go! Wow! The girl from the ad! Y-You're… Good luck, Yuka! Who is that? Union's secret weapon? The time is set for 10 minutes! The side that deals a K.O., or holds more overall points at the end, will secure the victory. What are you doing here, after suddenly vanishing? Well um... I guess things just ended up like this. I may have been mistaken for someone else… You pretended not to know? So, you tricked me… Unfortunately, I don't intend on holding back against an opponent. Huh…? Well… Umm… Our exhibition is moments away! W-What!? W-We're suddenly in outer space! I-I need to find oxygen…! Yuka-chan! It's just a texture, you can breathe normally! Oh, you're right. Now, please prepare your weapons! Hold on, I'll get you changed now! Wow! T-This is amazing! My clothes suddenly changed! Let's move on to your weapon! It's so light and easy to move! However… Doesn't her weapon seem… overwhelmingly better? Well, you're up against a champion. No way! Both sides are ready, now then… Start the bout! You're not getting away! Is that girl a complete beginner? We really don't stand a chance! And she's fighting Chikage Fujimura, of all people… I told you I wouldn't hold back. I can't dodge anything…! This will… finish it! Yuka-chan, watch out for her follow-up attack! She did it again… Could she really be their secret weapon? I see… I can defend like this… You've got this! Go on the offense, Yuka-chan! Ah… Right! She had me for a moment, but it looks like this is her best… Chikage! Got it! Keep it up, you're doing great! It's starting to make sense, I should be fine if I pay attention! Then… How about this! A perfect block? She couldn't have… A technique that allows you to punish your opponent by flawlessly guarding at a specific moment… I've heard rumors about it, but for that girl to be able to… That caught me off guard… It's been a while since I got excited. Yeah, this is really exciting! All right… This time, I'll show you something new. Huh…? Okay…! Let's continue this someday. What is she planning to do!? Chikage! You can't use that yet! I need to see things through! Umm… I-I-I'm sorry! I'll finally be able to attend. I transferred all the way here… All right, let's do this! One point! That's far enough! Thanks, Miyuki! You really saved us! Don't sweat it, this works as great publicity for me, as well. Ayumu-san, you get all that? Ayumu-san! could you upload that last match video. One step ahead of you. That said, who decided on these textures? Oh that, it's all about old fashioned scenery now. That's the new trend apparently. I never understood that retro obsession. But you're still rocking a keyboard. Because programming is easier with this… Programming? Generally, it's easier to just rely on an optimizing compiler, and it rarely crosses anyone's mind. However, manually optimizing code is faster for me. I'm not really sure what you're talking about… Basically, I just feel like it. That's it… Man, I'm exhausted… I may have overdone it this week. We've been to the judo, soccer, tennis, and futsal club. But, we've got to push through this to revive our club! Yeah... Well, that doesn't look too obtainable right now. Don't worry! We're steadily gaining views, too! If we keep this up, we'll eventually generate as much as that cheap video. Cheap video, huh… I just don't get it... It was such a good match, but then they suddenly vanished… It doesn't make sense. Well, I don't know what they're up to now, But I'm challenging them straight away if we ever meet! Please let go! My grandmother in Wakayama gave this to me! These umeboshi have been fermented for 20 years! Loitering on school grounds. Suspicion. Acquiring unidentified object. Please present your student ID. I told you! I don't have one yet! Unable to verify ID. Advancing case to security level "yellow". Please state campus visit intention within 60 seconds. All right, hold on a second. She's in the same year as us. I've never seen her around before… T-Thank you so much! You really saved me back there! You registered here… Recently. Oh, about that, it took some time to finally convince my parents… Really, so that's why. You haven't joined any clubs since it's your first day, huh? Y-Yes! Then, just hop in our club! Lucky for you, we're recruiting new members! I-I can't do that! I can't join your club right now! What's the big deal? We just saved you! Those are two completely different matters! I can't join! You're a stubborn girl… All right, I get it! I'll invite you again tomorrow, so you better be ready to join! Okay! I can't join your club, but I'll prepare for your invitation! You two really get along… Wait, what did you just say? There is no Circlet Bout club at this school. U-Umm… Could I get that one more time? Enough! My response isn't changing. There is currently no Circlet Bout club at St. Union Academy! But! I'm certain this school was famous for its Circlet Bout club! That was in the past, you may head home now. No, that can't be right! Just two years ago, this school was unbelievable! The club doesn't exist! It's about time you accepted that. W-What are you doing!? I don't understand! Why you…! It's time for you to leave! I can't go yet! We're not finished talking! Leave! Excuse me! You moving in here? Ah, thank you for earlier! So you'll be in this dorm, as well. Yes, I'm looking forward to staying here! Hold on… Is she…! If that's true... This could turn into something big! We encountered a system error. Letting that move loose in this current system isn't possible. But, there weren't any issues during the test. Chikage. We'll postpone our match. Right! The battle has just begun, and these maidens have risen to the stage. Now is the time to awaken from my slumber, and once again ta— W-Wait, hold on…! What's with this noisy place! Next time, Episode 2 "Starting Mind". ▶ [RyuujiTK] Circlet Princess - 02 (BD 1920x1080 x.265-10Bit Flac) We'll postpone our match. Right! We're currently restarting our system. We ask that you remain seated until then. Umm… How far are we walking? How old are you? Huh!? Huh… Y-Your voice!? Time is of the essence, spit it out! I'm 14! I see… You're 14… I'd prefer if you were a bit younger… However, your reaction time is impeccable… If only you were a bit younger… Just a little younger… Slightly younger… I ran into a pervert… So, it's true that they're all around Tokyo…! Ah, what should I do with her…? I need to get out of here! Hold it! We're not finished! Unfortunately, I have some business to attend to… Just cast that aside! You've been chosen as a superb test subject, that will reach a new stage for humanity! The thing is, I need to head back to Wakayama before the evening… I'm really sorry, but I can't! Don't you wish to battle her once again? Huh? You should have experienced it during your previous match. The world that lies beyond your limits. Beyond my limits… My whole body was on fire, but I felt so light, like I was flying around the sky. My body would react before I could even think… I could experience that again… That's right! A level that has yet to be attained! Expanding the possibilities of one's potential! That's circlet bout, and the power of MR Technology! Circlet bout… Take this. That will eventually reunite you with Chikage Fujimura. Oh, there you are, Yuka-chan! Listen, don’t give up simply because you can’t do something! If you can't achieve something, work until you can! Now then, farewell! Are you all right, Yuka-chan? Yuka-chan? If I can't achieve something, I'll work until I can! So I can meet her again! What business do you have here? I want to play Circlet Bout! Have you forgotten about our previous discussion? The club's closure has already been decided! I'll just remake it then! Rejected. Why not? A Circlet Bout Club is unnecessary at Union! There's your answer. You're such a stingy delegate! You're heartless! You big meanie! Regardless of what you say, I can't approve it! It's fine! I'll just make one anyway! M-My legs went numb…! I already told you! It's rejected! There isn't a club… And I can't get the approval to make a new one… How am I going to start circlet bout… Is something up? That. So, she's in our class, as well. Where is she? No clue. More importantly, can we talk? What!? That transfer student!? You're being too loud. Sorry… But, are you sure? Two years ago, at the convention center. She could be our mysterious newcomer. No way! If someone that famous joins our team, it'll definitely stir up some discussions! We haven't confirmed it yet… Just drag her to our club room! Make something up that sounds convincing. Where are you going? To see Reina-san. With more members, she'll have to officially approve our club. But class is starting… How am I supposed to convince her into coming… Aizawa-san! Let's play Circlet Bout together! Huh? Have a seat wherever you'd like. Wow, this is so cool! Is this all for Circlet Bout? Our club? Who told you about it? I saw the poster! Oh, that… Jeez, if you were in the Circlet Bout Club, you should have said something! Well, at least I don't have to worry about bringing you here… I can finally start playing Circlet Bout! Though, it took me two years… There's something I'd like you to watch. Come on, isn't it okay now? Retract the closure! Throw in a club budget while you're at it, and we're set! How far do you plan on following me? You see, we're on the verge of gaining two new members. If you come back too, we can participate in the Princess Cup again… That doesn't concern me. Why not? Didn't you come here to play Circlet Bout!? The same school as her…! That's none of my concern! Stingy Reina! You're heartless! You and your lewd body! What!? Stupid Reina-san! She's always so full of it, just because she's got a nice rack… I doubt those are related. Oh, you're showing it to her. Yeah, that video. I-I had no idea this existed… What, there was a mix-up? I'm really sorry! No, it's my fault for not properly confirming anything… But, sending out an unregistered athlete may be problematic… Anyway, this little secret is between us! So, isn't that you? Y-Y-You're mistaken… Is she trying to play it off like that? I guess she wants to keep it a secret. Let's just leave it at that? T-That aside! A Circlet Bout Club actually existed! The delegate I spoke with said it shut down! Don't listen to anything Reina-san says! Huh? Don’t worry. Allow us to formally welcome you into the Circlet Bout Club. I'm Aizawa Ayumu. Feel free to call me Ayumu. And this is, Kasahara Miyuki. I'm Yuka Sasaki! Have some, to celebrate our meeting! What's that? Umeboshi from my grandmother! Why not? Yeah… I thought I was a goner… My cheeks are still tingling... I'm glad you enjoyed them! That Circlet you're wearing… Oh, you mean this? A perver- No, wait! I received it from a strange person! A strange person… They said I'd be reunited with her if I had this… Hmm... Ayumu-san? Huh, oh no, it's nothing. More importantly, we need to get her registered. Which means we're headed there, huh! For the closure of a club with insufficient members, and relinquishing a sports related scholarship. I've mostly completed the groundwork. However, I'm still in the process of convincing a few students… My apologies for putting you through all of this, Reina-kun. It's fine. Things were wonderful while your sister was around… The school was so lively. Good thing we nabbed the key from Reina-san's place. This is a bit restrictive… Stop complaining, that's all we have. You and your fat ass. It's a normal size! Everything's set. Wow, what is this? What are you saying, it's MR. Really? MR is capable of all this! Mixed Reality, a hybrid world. The technology merges real world elements with virtual ones, for processing information. By utilizing a Circlet, a mixed environment is created, to enhance one's surroundings. Through biometric verification, it also serves as a secure authentication method. Really, that's unbelievable! Why are you so oblivious? Aren't you using that Circlet? I guess it was obvious, your Circlet is still offline. I can't even access it, due to its protection. What!? I'm surprised you managed to get by like that! There's never been much use for it back home. How far out were you… For starters, let's disable that protection, so we can get you online and registered. You can do that? Absolutely. Well, I'm already done. Wow! All right, let's get started then! Materialize your weapon. If you don’t have one, we can load up some practice data and- I have one! I have a weapon! Come out, please! It's huge! Which brand is that? I've never seen this! And there's no logo… There isn't a custom base either… It's completely original… I've never seen any of this before… That circlet really is… strange! Well, once we get started, everything will make sense! Come on, what's wrong? You can't reflect something that simple? Okay, let's pick things up a bit! Really? Here I come! Seriously? You can't just throw out swings like that... If you leave yourself open, you'll be stuck on the receiving end! You'll hit harder with a weapon that big, but it's easier to take advantage of! Is that weapon really a good fit for you? I knew this was fun… This is a real Circlet Bout match! Looks like you're fired up! She's fast! No way!? You three! What are you doing? Unexcused absences, in addition to the unauthorized use of a school facility. As a result, the three of you are hereby placed under house arrest! Use this following day to reflect on your actions! Ahh! I can’t focus! Hello? Ayumu-san, I've got a small request. All right, got it. I'll handle it, talk to you later. Are you taking a bath, too? Nope, just finished. Have a good night. U-Um… Could we talk for a moment? Huh? Sorry, I haven't finished unpacking. Would you like one? I'm fine, I just brushed my teeth… Okay. Delicious! I feel super energized! You mind if I ask you something? Hm? What is it? Why are you so fixed on playing Circlet Bout? That's because there's someone I want to battle against again! Is that… Back home, I couldn't play Circlet Bout, let alone use this… Before I knew it, two years went by! You never considered giving up? If I can't achieve something, I'll work until I can! That's why I'll never give up! We're currently searching for new Circlet Bout members! If you're interested, feel free to chat with me! What is that idiot up to? I'm from the Circlet Bout Club! She's really got some old-fashioned methods… We'd love to have you! Here, please have this! Did you already finish that? Thank you so much! Yeah, but now I'm about to pass out… We're currently recruiting new members! Oh, are you interested in the club? Secure her! Ah! Save me! Unauthorized recruitment is forbidden. Please give me permission then! No, I can only permit clubs that have been officially recognized. Please officially approve our club then! I can only recognize your club after you've gathered five members, and it's approved during a council meeting. Unbelievable, you're back to causing trouble the moment your house arrest ends… Kuroda-kun, we have a problem! Executive Director, what happened? A-About that… What!? So, what business could you possibly have with us today? Miss Delegate! Your Circlet Bout Club has received a request for a practice match. I got that last video up! Way to go, Ayumu-san! Pay attention when others are speaking! That's correct, apparently the other party witnessed footage. Nice going, Ayumu-san! Under normal circumstances, we would have declined… Our club is basically back in business! I told you to pay attention! Where is the request coming from? That's right! Which school? Takamori Academy. Takamori!? That's not where she attended… Is Takamori a strong school? You're really that clueless? While Takamori Academy's display last year wasn’t remarkable, they've created quite the reputation after their generational shift. They'd be placed second in Tokyo. You seem to know your stuff, Reina-san. I-It's just common knowledge! Oh please, aren't you really just dying to play with us? In Circlet Bout. After all, your sister was— Enough! You never admit anything… number two… second… So, if we beat that Morimori place, we'll get to battle the strongest school! Why would you assume that? Huh? Doesn't beating the second strongest, mean we get to face the top school? What gave you that idea… You're unbelievable… What… huh!? Practice matches don't qualify as official games. Furthermore, it isn't Morimori Academy. We've received a response from Union Academy. They intend to accept our practice invitation. That's great. Why would you request a practice match right before the Princess Cup? Especially against Union Academy… That's precisely why. We'll use this to keep our regulars motivated. Take a look at their member list. Kuroda Reina… Wait, Kuroda? You don't mean! Kuroda Ayana's younger sister. The player that steered Union to victory… I never knew she had a sister. This all makes sense now, it'll serve as a great incentive for our regulars. A great incentive... You've got that right. Facing Takamori, straight out the gate… Well, it's a practice match, it'll just be a learning experience… That reminds me, do you have enough resources? Just barely… We burned through a bunch just trying to materialize Yuka's weapon. You greedy little black hole! Hurry up and toss that circlet out, so we can get you something normal! Hey, cut it out! It's unladylike to cause a commotion during meals! Have some shame! It talked!? Simply disgraceful… Woken up by a bunch of school girls, then treating a noble, such as myself, like mere trash! What? You wish to become stronger? Enough with your nonsense, young girl! Next time, Episode 3 "Surprise Player". ▶ [RyuujiTK] Circlet Princess - 03 (BD 1920x1080 x.265-10Bit Flac) Hey, cut it out! It's unladylike to cause a commotion during meals! Have some shame! I-It talked!? I-I had no idea this little thing could talk! Voice recognition has been obsolete for a while. Oh, really? Doesn't that thing seem dangerous? You really should toss it out… I couldn't! I'll admit it's somewhat creepy, but I can't just completely abandon it! How rude! Do you know what I am!? That's why we're so confused… Ah, a fine question! I'm a top-class battle AI, that dwells within this Circlet. You've got some outdated functions for something top-class… Wha—? That thing is definitely bad news… You fools! P-Please calm down, I don't plan on throwing you away! Of course you won't! Without fail, everyone of my previous users have become unrivaled forces! R-Right… Honestly, now I'm stuck with some little brat like you. Calling me outdated and considering throwing me out! You lack even an ounce of decency! U-Umm… What is it?! Y-You don't need to get so upset… I'm not upset. What do you need? If you've got something to say, speak up. Well, Mr. Weapon, you can make any of your users stronger, right? That's impossible. What!? B-But I want to become stronger! What do you wish to train, then? Huh? Reaction time? Offensive strength? Or possibly, strategic decisions? Hm… I'll take everything! You think these are some ramen toppings!? This isn't even worth discussing! B-But, I'll never see her again unless I improve everything… I don't care, we're done here! Please wait! I'll really be in trouble! Whoa, hey! I honestly won't know what to do! Let go of me! I have to get stronger! Unhand me! Unhand me! The level of security is amazing… Oh well, I'll just save it for later. Are you looking into Yuka-san's Circlet? It's an unusual model. I can't help being curious. Is it that crazy? Well, they normally function through neural activity now. Voice recognition today is just bizarre. I don't really get it, but who cares? It looks like she's having a great time, too. Shouldn't our top priority be this upcoming game? Yeah. Takamori is pretty popular… I'm sure they'll attract a crowd, too. I just hope we don't screw up, and hurt our reputation further… You've got a point… Amazing contributions, are you even paying attention? What? Go ahead, I'm all ears… Hey, that's my— Don't mind if I do! Have a wonderful day! We've got their top players, Sugiura and Iida, then all those crazy new juniors, to make things worse. Yeah… We're packing a girl who's behind the times, and talks to her weapon! Plus, Miss cold-blooded! Not to mention, we're still down a member! Seriously, can't we catch a break anywhere! I think we've at least got the members part down. What? Probably. Probably? What!? Allow me to introduce our newest member. This is Nina Averin. Her father's Russian. So, this was the girl you were talking about? You read one of the fliers I handed out! Sorry, I never read that. Wha… Oh… you didn't… Well, I guess we're set to compete now. While we're at it, how about approving the club? Rejected. Don't include me in your count. Don't be so stingy. The three possible actions a Candita can perform are, attacking, guarding, or moving. However, the system doesn't allow you to execute all three at once. You're guaranteed to incur a delay between each action. Exploiting the period of recovery between your opponents' actions, while making it difficult for them to capitalize on yours. That should cover the Circlet Bout Basics. Also, pertaining that delay… The time between movements may seem fixed, But it's said that a skilled Candita can reduce that as much as possible. Come on, we can't perform like some super-humans. You imbecile! Union is in this losing streak, because you give up before even trying! Listen up! You all need to be mo— Please stay quiet! Well, you basically watch your opponent, and win through a series of rock, paper, scissors-like situations. Does that make sense? Pretty much. Well, we'll be here if you ever get hung up on something. Got it. You're starting to look like a player! Truly disgraceful… You should be capable of more nimble movements. I-I can't help it! Your weapon is upset with you! M-Miyuki-chan! I couldn't even touch you… Guess you're still no match for me. No way! That said, even if it's a practice match, I hope Takamori doesn't get mad at us… Based off today, I'm not sure what to think. I'll do better during the actual match! That's what most slackers end up saying. What!? H-Hey, Mr. Weapon! What's wrong, Reina? I-It's nothing… Captain, I'm sending the information on tomorrow's match. Thank you. So, her sister is registered to play. All that's left is her… It's settled… Iida! Everything's going as planned. Iida... This is your time to shine. Let's go! Y-Yeah! What's up with this place! Talk about high-class! L-Look at this! Everything's free! You're already drinking them!? If only we had popularity and money… Let's get changed, we don't have much time. Right, we're coming… Let's kick back a bit more… What was that? I-I didn't say anything! Most of the support is directed towards Takamori… They have around a 30% advantage. 30 percent!? Talk about rough… We'll need to try our best. Well, you can't do much at away games. We essentially came here to lose. No percentages will affect that. Umm… Don't you want to win, Reina-san? I'm saying it's difficult at our current level. B-But! We'll just do what we can! Then, why are we even… We're starting. Momentarily, the battle between Takamori and Union will commence! Will both sides announce their selection! Guess we wouldn't be worth a full team of regulars… That's obvious, consider the difference in our abilities. Both players, advance to the stage! Who's up first? I've got this! I'll be up first! All right, time to see what Takamori's made of. Start the bout! Man, this 30% increase is rough! You can do it, Miyuki-chan! Miyuki-chan! Takamori Academy receives one point! The first hit decided everything… You'd be finished if you took one of those. Miyuki-chan! Damn, I didn't stand a chance… We already knew it, but this gap is still unbelievable. We're commencing the next round, advance to the stage! R-Reina-san, good luck out ther— Encouragement is unnecessary. Start the bout! U-Um… is this considered a good game!? Yeah, I'd say she's putting up a fight. With everything considered, she's our most experienced player. What, she has experience!? Nice going! I'd expect nothing less from Kuroda's sister. Guess it's in her blood. She's amazing! She's in a different league than you. You didn't need to go that far! However, her run ends here. This is the difference in skill. That girl understood this reality, which is why she accepted losing. No way... Takamori Academy, two points! Okay, I'll go last! What are you saying, the match is over. What!? We conducted a BO3, which means a best of three. Basically, the first to take two games. You didn't hear the rules? Wait, what… No way! I want to play, too! We can't do anything, those were the rules. It's not fair, I didn't get to play! Are you a kid…? My apologies… Perhaps we should start wrapping things up? Oh… Sorry, thank you for today's game. You did come all the way here, it'd be a shame to leave after two games. It's a practice match anyway, think you've got time for another round? I wouldn't mind seeing it myself. Yes! Me, me! I'll do it! I want to play! We will now begin the third match. She's facing Iida!? You can't be serious… You know her? One of Takamori's first-string players. While she's had her share of ups and downs, her offensive strength is outstanding, and her other abilities aren't far behind. If I had to sum her up, I'd say… She's ridiculously good! Meaning she's not a player we should be facing? Yeah… Why would they put her against Yuka… You're so tall, Iida-san! Have you done anything before? I-I used to play basketball. Ah! I knew it was that! My friend, Hina-chan, also played basketball! Why do I have to play against someone like Union… She was so tall! I mean super tall, like whoosh! Captain… Start the bout! Here I come! P-Please wait! Just hurry up and lose! W-What should I do!? There's nothing you can do, this is your limit. I-I know that, but! She's not half bad! She's holding her own better than I thought! I won't be able to win like this! I'm sure you won't. But, I still really want to win! Well, Union rookie, do you understand the difference between us? Why is your desire to win so strong? Because there's someone I want to play against. What? To achieve that, I can't afford to stop here. I have to keep winning, and reach the top! Really? You have impeccable defense, but your offense is beyond saving. Create an opportunity to counter her. I'll give you the signal, but you'll need to fend off her attacks first. You've been paying attention to me this entire time? Thank you so much! Don't get the wrong idea! I haven't acknowledged you yet! However, I admire that desire to reach the top. Let's go! Right! She's really hanging in there! You're right, I'm a bit surprised she's defending this well. That's all she can manage. It won't change the outcome. No… She's properly blocking them. Are you serious… way to go, Yuka! She may end up winning! What's up with her!? I can't believe she's keeping up with me…! Try to buy a bit more time! Right! Pressure her into panicking! It's the same… This match is unfolding the same way… Hurry up and fall, you amateur! Not bad! All right, let's move in! Thank you! But, there's something I'd like to try… What? Can you handle swift movements? Who do you think I am!? I was once known as the gale wi— Thank goodness! Hey! Let me finish! Please follow my lead! Are you mocking me!? Union receives one point! Yay! You're amazing! She really won! Thank you so much, Sieg! No need to thank me. More importantly, where did that "Sieg" thing come from? I thought it'd be weird if I kept calling you Mr. Weapon, so I gave you a name! I've played a game before with this super strong hero, and he had a bunch of stars on him! Siegfried, Sieg for short! What an uncultured name! Can't you come up with anything better than that? But it's a nice name! Oh, would you prefer something cuter? G-kun! What!? You're spiraling down the wrong path! Give me something… With a little more mea— I'm looking forward to playing with you, G-kun! What!? H-Hey! G-Kun! G-Kun! What are you doing! Don't baby me! Cut it out! Hey! I'm sorry for such a disgraceful display… I expected as much. Luck's on your side. What? You got to witness what could be the birth of the strongest player. Union receives one point! We'll meet again… Welcome back, Yuka Sasaki. That girl named Reina appears to be concerned about something. Though, I do understand that feeling of having something you can’t overcome! However, the concerns of a young girl are meaningless, to someone of my caliber! Next time, Episode 4 "Complex Sister". ▶ [RyuujiTK] Circlet Princess - 04 (BD 1920x1080 x.265-10Bit Flac) In our third match, Takamori Academy's, Osawa Rika will face St. Union Academy's, Kuroda Ayana! Start the bout! It's a Knockout! Our winner is St. Union Academy! Onee-chan! I'll attend Union, too! I'm going to join the Circlet Bout Club, and be just like you! Man, I'm exhausted. I wasn't ready to face everyone at that practice game. How about it? You up for a 100-man kumite? Huh? We'd love to play you! That's apparently Takamori's style of welcoming others they acknowledge. That was so much fun! Well, you played the most games. And against nothing but regulars… Pervert… Hm.... What's up? Are you tired? N-No… You were right after Yuka in terms of games played. In the end, Sasaki was the only one that could win. Well, that's true… St. Union I'll report the results to the Director. Right. Miyuki! We saw your game! You were so cool out there! We're rooting for you! Yuka-chan! I wonder if Union felt like this back then? W-Why are they...? That's Circlet Bout. Everyone will watch if we have great games. Look, you've even made some fans. What? Yuka-chan! E-Eh?! They're cheering for you, respond to them. Whoa! Everyone's rooting for us. So, this is Circlet Bout! The Princess Cup! Cup? Pudding? Ayumu. Explaination! It's the largest event held for High School Female Circlet Bout Players. We had an event like that? I can't believe you! Only one school has continued to hold the throne in the Princess Cup. Kurojishi Sougou Academy. Similar to Union, they have a lot of history. However, being the first to implement the MR system, they're the strongest academy, holding traditions and the latest technology. And, Kurojishi's ultimate player is… Chikage Fujimura! Chikage-san! It's from the director's office. What do you think it is? Maybe we did such a great job in yesterday's match!? So, he's going to congratulate us!? It may be the opposite. Because Yuka won… What!? Takamori is Union's sister-academy… They've supported us for so long. And yet, you went and beat them yesterday… It's your fault. What!? Yuka! That's our only option! Wha-? Yeah, option! We're deeply sorry for the trouble we've caused! We're sorry! Everything that took place yesterday was due to her selfish decision! She's to blame for everything! She's correct, I'm to blame for everyt— Wait, what!? Come on, apologise! This is our only hope for forgiveness! B-But! But, but! What are you doing…? You're an interesting group. You're that cocky person from Takamori! You idiot! I'm grateful for your participation in the match, despite our sudden invitation. It was a wonderful opportunity for our first-year students. The pleasure was ours, we've been in your Academy's care for so long. This isn't much of a thank you, but we'd love to offer you our left-over equipment. What!? We're beyond excited that Union's circlet bout club has returned! We're looking forward to being great rivals as we were in the past! Please wait. You appear to be mistaken on the matter. Reina! The closure for our Circlet Bout Club has already been decided. Hey, Reina! Yesterday's practice was an exception. I may have overstepped my bounds. Reina. Takamori even offered to help for free! She's really trying to shut us down! She's been saying that from the start… But this is the club that Ayana built! Who is this Ayana? You really came to Union without knowing…? Kuroda Ayana. She's the legend that led Union to the Princess Cup finals. That's right, I chose to attend here because of her. Wow, she sounds amazing. Kuroda? That's what I've been saying, she's Reina's sister! What!? Do you understand why it's so frustrating now? Of all people, Ayana's little sister is trying to shut the club down! I'm getting upset just thinking about it! What's wrong? I've got this fuzzy feeling… Fuzzy? Yes, there's this weird feeling in my chest… Maybe it's more of a prickly feeling… What? How do you expect me to understand that…? Oh, I've got it. It's not your chest, it's your stomach! Let's all go eat! It's time for food! All right… Her stomach isn't her chest. Shut up. You still can't get over it? It's making me feel fuzzy… You must've eaten too much! T-That's not it! The cocky person! Sorry, I'm asking for so much. No, it's fine. Things have really changed around here… Have you visited before? Indeed, countless times during practice games. Takamori and Union were great rivals. We'd always compete over which of us would win the Princess Cup. Union must have been really strong. Yeah, they were amazing. I guess the void she left behind was too large. What is it? Umm… Will Union really lose its club…? That's what I heard. I want to play against Kurojishi Academy! But… It doesn't seem right if I do it alone… We need to get stronger together, but… I don't want the club to close. Come to Takamori. Huh? At Takamori, you can challenge Kurojishi. The only team capable of standing against Kurojishi, who sits at the top, is Takamori Academy. What do you say? Give it some thought. Ayumu-chan! She is in America. Huh? You wanted to know why things are like this? After Ayana was scouted, she went off to America. What? Circlet bout is a sport that utilizes the latest MR technology. The tools, facilities, and resources for development. Everything costs a fortune. Of course, she'd desire an environment fit for her abilities. Wouldn't you do the same? At Takamori, you can challenge Kurojishi. Well, as a result, we instantly became the weakest school. But, we shouldn't blame her. That's exactly why we need to produce some results. Wouldn't you agree? Here, take this. What is that? A DVD, there's footage inside. Oh please, you're so silly! There were a bunch of those hanging in my neighborhood's field! Fie… That isn't how you use these… What, really!? Put this in here, and watch! Umm… B-But, watch what? Kuroda Ayana! Huh? It's footage of her games! It's no use… It was an obtainable victory… Onee-chan... What do you need? We're one member away from five. You promised to officially approve our club after that. I'll consider the proposal. Let's enter the Princess Cup, and reclaim the old Union! Back when Ayana-san was here! Didn't you tell me? That you wanted to be like her… That you wanted to be number one! We'll have five members with you! Why won't you join!? I have important student council duties. Reina! Five members! We'll be approved once we manage to clear that. And with a club budget, we can kiss storage rooms goodbye! Hey, Yuka! What are you doing? Oh… I'm watching Ayana-san's matches! The one's from around the Princess Cup. I thought they'd be a good reference. Their playstyles are really similar… That's right! Reina's style is just like Ayana's. However… However? She's lacking something crucial. Something crucial? What is she missing? If we knew that, things wouldn't be so tough. But the evidence of that showed in her loss. I've asked her countless times, but she always refuses. That's why we have to find one more person anyway we ca— We can't! Our final member has to be the delegate! Look… Why does it have to be Reina? Because I have a fuzzy feeling! Huh? It won't go away unless it's her! Miss Delegate! Oh, Sasaki. Perfect timing, I need to discuss something with you privately. Ah, hey! Why are we in the bathroom? You said you needed to speak with me privately, I do, too! What do you need to discuss? You may go first! A-All right… We were contacted by Sugiura from Takamori Academy. It appears that she scouted you. T-That's right… Is that what you wished to discuss? T-There's that too… You want to play against Kurojishi, correct? It's a wonderful opportunity. You can hand in the paperwo— E-Enough about me! Why won't you play Circlet Bout? You're so amazing! Even your sister was unbelievable! I saw her on a DVD, so why…! That's why, she went to America… Union couldn't continue to hold her back. That's why everyone chose to see her off. However, after she left, Union was unable to win. By the time I enrolled at Union, there were no longer any members. If you wish to play Kurojishi, you mustn't stay here. Takamori is the greatest environment for you. You should head there and play to your heart's content. And you… What? Why won't you play Circlet Bout? You're so amazing, you're better than any of us! So, why? Why won't you play, despite being so good!? I couldn't stop thinking after watching that DVD. You look just like your sister! Miss Delegate, let's play Circlet Bout together! I'm nothing like my sister! You're going to Takamori! Understood? I feel so fuzzy! Again with that? You need to focus on yourself! No! I want to play with everyone! Why!? What would drive you to work with that uncooperative girl! Listen! Circlet Bout requires the utmost m— I want to play together! That's obviously impossible. In today's exhibition match, You have a duty of fully utilizing an outstanding circlet such as me. Chikage Fujimura from Kurojishi Academy, will make a final appearance! You shouldn't be sitting around wasting your time! Hurry up and go to Takamori Aca— That's it! Hey, hold on, Yuka! What in the world are you planning!? H-Hey… Wait! S-Stop! What are you doing…? Oh, well, good morning! Grandpa said it'd be fine to greet industry people like that… In what industry!? More importantly, why are we here? I wanted to see Chikage-san… What? I thought I'd be able to figure something out if I met her. What a ridiculous plan… In just 10 seconds! Chikage Fujimura decides the battle with a single decisive blow! Congratulations, Fujimura-sama! Wow! You were unaware of your opponent before the match, yet you handled this wonderfully! What's the secret behind your victory? There isn't any. Then, how do you pull it off? You can understand each other through clashing… That's Circlet Bout. That's it! St. Union Reina! We really can't do this without you! Think it over again, don't you want to pl— Stop making me repeat myself! I could have the club shut down immediately! Reina… Enough! Miss Delegate! What? Yuka! Miss Delegate, please play against me! Please! Y-You guys! Very well. I'll accept your challenge… However, If I win, you're going to Takamori Academy, understood? Yes! Takamori? What is she talking about!? I never heard about this! She used a Naginata!? The DVD. Huh? Kuroda Ayana's DVD! Start the bout! It's the same! It's just like my sister… I get it! She's trying to make her remember! Remember what? What else? Ayana! Why!? How should I know… What have you been doing this entire time? Huh? What do you mean? Why are you mimicking Ayana Kuroda's movements? What, I was? Stop running around! You mustn't panic. Huh? You're constantly panicking. Try to relax, you're a strong girl. It's all right, trust your big sister, Okay? Reina caught her! Onee-chan... There you go! You can do it once you calm down! But, if you think you can beat your big sister, you're 100 years too early. Stop making fun of me! Onee-chan... Reina. Onee-chan... Then, I'm leaving now… Reina, take care of Union for me. You love Circlet Bout, right? Don't worry, I know you can do it. Onee-chan... Do what you really want, don't worry about me. You're you, after all. Not yet! You're late. I was busy. Have some, as a celebration! What's this? All new applicants need to try one before joining. What? I'll win next time, understood? A-Are you okay, Reina-san? W-What is this?! That rowdy girl named Miyuki, looks like she's bottling up something, as well. Honestly, the battles are just starting, how long are you going to stay huddled up! Hurry up and go back to being that rowdy girl! Next time, Episode 5 "Breaking Down". ▶ [RyuujiTK] Circlet Princess - 05 (BD 1920x1080 x.265-10Bit Flac) Well, I guess that's settled… As a result of the votes, I've become the club captain. With only one candidate, you'd win by default, so there's nothing to celebrate… Honestly… Hold it right there! I'm trying to liven things up, don't ruin the mood! New captain, can we hear your ambitions? Oh, that's right. Now that I've become captain, I'll turn us into a team that can win the Princess Cup! Wow! Let's be somewhat realistic. Having a goal is wonderful, but what about discussing our starting line-up, or strategic planning? Right, that's it! Our starting order is important, so I gave it some thought! Essentially, I'll go first, followed by Reina. Yuka will go last since she stands out. What do you think? You're already sounding like a captain. That handwriting is beautiful, did you ask someone to write it for you? Be quiet! Let's try to focus on the topic! I think it sounds wonderful! Everyone can show off their strengths with this order! You're amazing, Miyuki-chan! A-Aren't I? So, I'm thinking Ayumu can call the shots. And, Nina can… Be in charge of drinking cola! You just call it like you see it… Well, Nina and I will serve as backup. We'll do our best with preparations and support. I don't need to do anything? Think of yourself as a supportive, mascot-like role. Oh… All right! Our roles have been decided! Once again, our goal is to win the Princess Cup! Yeah! I guess that's the Princess Cup for you… They go all out even when drawing lots. You wouldn't want to feel out of place here. It's finally time! Such a fuss over deciding opponents. What's wrong with it? It's like a festival. If you like festivals, then you should go to one. Battles are meant to have a serious presence! Come on, you're always so serious, G-kun. Hey! It's been a while. Oh! You're that Takamori... Um… Important person! Hey, Yuka, you're being rude. Don't worry, it's fine. I'll just have to work hard enough to be remembered. I-I'm really sorry! Well, if we're matched against each other, we'll see you then. T-That scary person is really scary! I'm sure she still holds a grudge over that loss. What!? This is unsettling… I'm the one who has to go up there soon… It's the strong people. Look, it's Kurojishi. They're last year's winners! Their ace, Chikage Fujimura, is doing well! I guess they're favored to win this year. Chikage-san is amazing! It's awfully noisy. This collection of filth is only capable of running their mouths. Hm… Now then, the lot drawing for the Princess Cup metropolitan area tournament will begin! We're really using an old-fashioned method to select our opponents. It's fine, it'll make things more exciting! You think so? More importantly, who we're matched against in this selection is crucial. Takamori Academy Kurojishi, Takamori, Musashino Kyuoh and Hoshinoumi. Those are the four Tokyo area schools you'd want to avoid. Even in double elimination, you'd want to make your way up without any trouble. Aloe blue Emily nee-san… who? Huh? What are you saying? If we're trying to win, facing the stronger schools later on would b— In our first game on day 3, St. Union Academy will face Hoshinoumi Academy! Now she's done it… Hoshinoumi was one of those strong schools you mentioned? We're already facing a crisis… Sounds rough. My, well if it isn't Kasahara-san. I knew it… I haven't seen you since the athletic tournament. More importantly… I believe you intended to enroll in Hoshinoumi, so why are you at Union? A lot happened… My… Have you given up on running? I'm focusing on Circlet Bout right now. That must have been a heavy decision. After leaving behind such results, I wonder if you have any regrets. Of course I would. I wonder... Is Union truly satisfied, receiving guidance from a desultory captain? Please don't be too hard on us in our first match. Well then, good day. What's with her? Welcome back. Our first game is going to be difficult. Hey, are you listening? Huh… Yeah, I'm listening! Anyway, let's head back and practice! Okay! Let's practice! Miyuki! Take this seriously! I'm being serious! You're not! You should be more capable than this! What sort of attack was that!? H-Hold on! I'm not waiting! We don't have any more time! Miyuki looks a bit strange today. She isn't going after her at all, and her defense is terrible. I wonder if her stomach hurts? I don't know about her stomach, but there's no mistake that something's troubling her. You can tell, G-kun? Indeed, if one's troubles could take shape, I'm certain they'd appear like that. Come on… What's going on with you? You normally be able to dodge something like th— Okay... Let's wrap things up today. Hey, Miyuki! Huh, we're not going out today? Sorry, I'll pass. I really think something's strange! Speak after you've finished chewing! Your manners are unbelievable! Something is definitely wrong, right? Yeah… It's strange. With the way Miyuki is acting now, beating Hoshinoumi is out of the question. N-No way! I thought she'd never be affected by anything. But Miyuki won't talk to us… Maybe she's really worried about this... I never took her for that type, though. Do you know anything, Ayumu? No… All right! I've made up my mind! At this point, I'm going to execute the, "Miyuki all or nothing plan!" The what…? Yuka looks like a beast glaring at her prey. Hiss! Miyuki-chan! Y-Yuka-san? Um! I'm sorry! What are you doing!? I've been depending on you too much. Huh!? It must have been stressful, captain! Right… I understand! I didn't think we'd play against a powerhouse right away, either! But… Please don't worry. We'll do our best covering for you! And I'll make sure to gather your ashes! Wait, hold on! I'm not worried about the match, and I'm not feeling pressured. You don't need to go that far either! Oh… That wasn't it? Was your entire stock of cola replaced with milk? Or was your favorite sprite-based game remade in 3D!? You guys, if you're going to worry, at least consider me a bit more! That Hoshinoumi player said something to you. Correct? What? T-This is your house? Yeah, follow me. I've seen this sort of place in a drama before! The final boss may show up. You can sit anywhere. Hey, don't go around touching things. Ah. Ah... Wow, they're so cool! There are a bunch of shoes. Is this what's bothering you? My family designs shoes. Because of that, and my interest in running, I naturally ended up joining track. I was fast, I'd always place first. I was confident that running was my strength… That I was a star… However, that was only in my mind. Kasahara is at the top again? I'm sure she'll just be the rep this time, too. How nice, being born into a rich family... She's basically blessed by her environment. It's like she's running through the power of money. Then, I decided to quit track. While I was lost in that depression after quitting, I witnessed Ayana playing circlet bout. She was always shining, and looked so cool! That's when I decided I wanted to play. However, I never thought starting Circlet Bout would lead to playing against Hoshinoumi. Even in track, Hoshinoumi is one of the top schools. So, is that where you're headed with this… Yeah, if I continued track, I would have ended up there. I honestly didn't think I'd ever be involved with them again. Well, it's pretty ridiculous to think I'd ever become a star, when I'm getting hung up on something like this. Yuka is probably more— That's not true! You'll become a star! With your optimism, I really feel like it could happen! I think Miyuki was really frustrated. She's always been straightforward. I wonder if she can do it? It'll be fine! She'll keep pushing, and become a star! Right, Reina-chan! I have something to discuss, could I have a minute? All right! It's finally time for the Princess Cup! The main event attracts an unreal number of spectators. Huh… Where is Miyuki-chan? She went to the restroom. She was nervous. Well, I see someone decided not to run. There's no way I could run away! Everyone's giving it their all! But you were so wonderful at running before… I see you've matured. I wanted to keep running! But… no matter how much I won, no one would acknowledge me… You're beyond pathetic. In sports, athletes needs to acquire their self-confidence. Yet you avert your eyes from your own outcome, and simply worry about how others evaluate you. You don't deserve to even step foot on stage. And now, you're presumptuous enough to think you'll reach the top in circlet bout? You're not even worth laughing at. Hey! Don't you dare think you're getting out of this. I'm dying to see the moment you're completely humiliated. Okay! Let's do this! Well, just like last time, it's basically an away game. Wait, so that means they're 30% stronger? It's tough being poor… All right! Just like we decided, I'll start things off. Objection! W-Why not? This is the order we initially decided on. If you were in top form perhaps. That’s… Yuka will go first, followed by me. You can handle the third round. Y-You want me as the anchor? Amazing! You want to make Miyuki's star plan a reality, too! I don't care about stars, but going last means there's the possibility she won't need to play. I see. You're saying I should try to avoid playing, because I'm useless…? That's right. All right, we'll go with this. My, she decided to enter without running. I'll make sure you'll never recover from this. Momentarily, the circlet bout Princess Cup, metropolitan area tournament will begin! Now then, we'll have Hoshinoumi Academy and St. Union Academy's first players step forward! Start the bout! Great, that's the way, push forward! That was a wonderful attack. Yeah! Wow… I'm impressed… However, the battle has just begun. Yuka should have gone last, after all… I won! Well done. I got data on our opponent as well, let's make full use of it next round! If we win the next game it's over. That's right! We'll win with a 2-0! All right, I'll settle this! Yeah! Good luck, Reina-chan! I'm counting on you, Yuka. Start the bout! You've got this, Reina-chan! She appears to be confident in her speed, but she's still no match for us. Hey, Reina! Oh no! If Reina-chan loses here, it'll all depend on Miyuki-chan! No way… I can't… Sorry Miyuki… The rest is up to you. Reina, I can't… Try to remember your usual self, If you do that, you'll win. Did I do a good job? Your acting is terrible, I thought she would find out. Well, I doubt she has time to worry about that. You're appearing in the final round? I'll at least commend that confidence. N-No… That's… Please try to do your best, with that half-hearted resolve. Start the bout! Oh my! Could something possibly be wrong? You'll keep getting hurt, if you don't defend properly. Miyuki-chan! This doesn't look good… She's being swept up in her opponent's pace. What should she do? She has to turn things in her favor! Rather than defending, she needs to fall back and keep running, to wear her opponent down! Miyuki-chan! You have to run away more! How humiliating, after determining you have no hope, your own teammates are suggesting you run away. T-They wouldn't… If you're frustrated, perhaps you should attempt defending everything I throw at you. Since your only chance of victory lies within that! Damn! I'll make sure I stop you! You were my goal, and I intended to defeat you! Then, without any explanation, you suddenly vanished… However, I've finally cornered you now! It's time to display your disgraceful loss to the entire nation, Kasahara Miyuki! Miyuki-chan, why…? Her opponent... While her tactics are rather foul, she's remarkable at swaying a match. She has Miyuki completely under control. Miyuki, run! R-Reina!? Your defense is bad enough, what are you trying to accomplish!? You can't possibly be that stupid! W-What was that! As a result, you just wore yourself down without achieving anything! You're a complete joke! An idiot! An unbelievable fool! Reina! You think I'll sit back and let you— Overwhelming physical abilities, isn't that your greatest asset? Have you already forgotten! Making your opponent run, exhausting them, that's where you're at your best! You're the only one capable of pulling your opponent around like that! So... Run, Miyuki! Y-You coward! You can't simply run around! I'm not falling for that anymore! S-Stop this instant! That's unfair… That's the trouble with rich girls and their sheltered upbringing, You're naïve when it comes to training. You're the naïve one! You can't focus on a single objective, and continue to run away! N-No… I won't accept… Just like you said, I ran away before. That's why I promised, I won't ever look back. Man, I'm wiped… Miyuki-chan, you pulled it off! You were a wonderful star! Congratulations, Miyuki. I bet we'll gain quite a few new supporters from this. I can’t wait to see the results. My abilities as a star are scary! But, you! Where do you get off calling me an idiot! You can just return the favor. Call me cold-blooded or frigid, if it motivates you, then go ahead. What? Aren't we going for the Princess Cup? If we are, then let's give it everything! We get done with Miyuki, but now it's Nina… One after another, these girls lack resolve. For starters, you probably ended up like this, because you're drinking all that sugary liquid! If you're a warrior, drink water! Water! Next time, Episode 6 "Extreme Game". ▶ [RyuujiTK] Circlet Princess - 06 (BD 1920x1080 x.265-10Bit Flac) I expected nothing less from Shark Curry… Okay! Come on, what are you doing, Nina? Nina-chan! Hang in there! Too slow! Our winner is Yoshimura Kaoru! Eidai Academy takes the first point! Our winner is Sasaki Yuka! With a score of 2-1, St. Union Academy takes the victory! I was on the edge of my seat at the end… That was a close call. Sorry, I'm late! How did the game go? We managed to take it. Thank goodness… I had some urgent student council work, and couldn't pull away from it. Don't worry about it. So, who filled in for me? Oh… Hey, don't sweat it! We still pulled through it in the end! There will always be a next time! Yeah… It's easy when it's a game… Thanks… Yeah, a bit... Okay, let's get started! Our next opponent is Musashino Kyuoh Academy. They were in the top 4 during the Princess Cup. For some reason, they're obsessed with the color red. Wait, that's it!? Apparently, they love sending red items to their opponent. Oh, this? This was delivered today. What, tomatoes!? And? And…? No one cares about that! Don't we have some info on how to beat them!? To win! No! For starters, it's not my job to look this stuff up. It's true that we've been pushing too many tasks on Ayumu. We should use another method to gather information. Oh, I have a great idea! Let's hire a spy! What? I saw one in a movie! We'll hire a skilled spy, and have them uncover Musashino Kyuoh's secrets! Okay… so where will we get the money to hire them!? What? That costs money? There's no one like that around anyway! What! There aren't any spies!? Didn't we tell you Circlet Bout costs a fortune? We'll have to handle everything on our own! Miyuki… Let's leave it to me. Basically, the five of us will just have to take on more tasks. Nina! I want you to be an attacker! Huh? We barely managed to get five members. With someone down, it could easily cost us a round, so we're at a disadvantage. But, I lost last time… That's exactly why! We'll be in a pinch if we can't make you stronger! Last time, we put you in the game without suitable preparations. That's why we want you to be ready next time. On that note, let's go shopping for weapons! A… W-Weapon!? Thank you for visiting! Welcome to the Circlet Bout fitting room! What sort of weapon are you searching for today? W-What is this place? You can find a weapon to match your style, and customize it here. Okay, I'll look for one t— You fool! What are you thinking, when you already have me! Wha… B-But, but! Even without visiting this shop, I'll continue to gather your data, and optimize to match it! What…! That sounds kind of creepy! Ah… Hold it! Let me finish everything! Optimization? Even then, it's gross! A circlet performing that on its own… What!? You're gross! Wait, hold on! It'd obviously be creepy! All right, try picking something! But our budget's tight, so stay within it. B-Budget? B-But I don't see anything… Go ahead and choose one! A rifle… Ah, sorry… Sorry, Nina. That's out of our budget. Circlet Bout weapons utilize MR resources to materialize. Since we're the weakest team, we have to make do with the few resources we have. Essentially, the number of bullets we could use in a game would be heavily limited. And when it comes to projectiles, the advantage they have over swords and spears is too large. That's why they're purposely difficult to handle. You'd need a massive number of bullets to hit your mark… But, Miyuki… We just can't handle that at our club… Sorry, Nina. Can you pick anything other than a gun? I'm really sorry… Here I come, Nina-chan! An attacker needs a spear! With the difference in length, it'll take a single strike! Start the bout! Yeah... I won't be on here for a while… W-What should I do…? W-What? It's nothing, I'm looking. Huh…? I'm just looking! What are you doing? Oh, don't worry about me… Please don't worry! What are you doing? How did you know I was here!? What have you been doing this entire time? What have y— Is… Is there something troubling you? Is there something troubling you? If you're fine with me, you can… Nothing really… Ah, hey! Wait! Is something troubling you? Is something—? Is something troubling you? Nothing's wrong! I see… Do you have enough? Yes! I couldn't find out what was bothering Nina-chan… That's why I told you sneaking around to find out wouldn't work! You've got to challenge everything head-on! That's the only option! B-But! Wasn't that your approach in the end? Ayumu-chan? Do you have a minute? All right everyone, we're cleaning the pool today! Let's give it our all! Yeah! Great response! As a present, I'll let you handle that! Lucky you, you've got the best spot. What!? Okay, let's get started! Yeah! Why are we doing this…? Are you okay? Let's wrap this up quickly, and grab something to eat! How is this related to Circlet Bout… What's the harm? We're always locked up indoors, isn't some fresh air nice occasionally? Our budget will increase, as well! Huh, budget? Nina! Nina! Could you grab that hose and spray some water here? Oh, okay… What? The water stopped… Come on, we're waiting! T-The water- Ah! Yuka! H-Hey, what now? This wasn't the plan… It's too late now, Nina will just have to replace Yuka. Huh!? Ayumu… It'll be fine, Nina can handle it. We decided on cleaning the pool, because you trusted me, right? Y-Yeah, but… I was supposed to be the one sitting out… I get it, but having her replace Yuka… You mind? You should be more confident in yourself. Like when we're gaming. Huh? Pirozhki Lovers? Shark Curry. W-What!? In-game, you're the strongest! Have some more confidence. I'm sure you can do the same thing in Circlet Bout. I guarantee it. But… Today's pool cleaning… Huh? We were cleaning the pool for you. What do you mean? If it's funds, we have some! What!? We'll take on the pool cleaning that's normally handled by a vendor. So that's it! Then, it'll be added to our budget! Correct! But, how is that for me… Well, after we're finished here, want to sneak off to the training room? I-Isn't this? Yep, we did all this to buy your weapon. Okay, let's get started! Yeah! We're counting on you in the next game. Right! We managed to work things out for now, but will it really be okay? I'm sure it'll be fine, Ayumu went this far. But… I caught a cold… You fool! Blame your lack of training! What? Can't you have some sympathy for me… Not happening! Whoa… Their entire facility is deep red… I feel like I'm suffocating… Yeah… That's incorrect! Red symbolizes our passion! And overflowing strength! Isn't that right, Arisa-san? Indeed, Akira! I'll be kind enough to fill you in. You've already been captured by red! Momentarily, the game between Musashino Kyuoh Academy, and St. Union Academy, will commence! I'll start things off! I'll string them along, use that time to learn their movements! Got it! We're counting on you! Yeah! From Musashino Kyuoh Academy, Tsunemi Akira! Followed by St. Union Academy's, Kasahara Miyuki! How is it? Well, like always, we're starting with a 30% handicap. Really…? But, with these numbers, our shots will really be limited. Start the bout! No way! Musashino Kyuoh Academy receives one point! What's going on? She'd normally be able to dodge something like that. Are you okay, Miyuki? I couldn't see it. I couldn't see her weapon! I get it now! A negative afterimage! With overstimulation to a single color, the moment you view a white surface, you'll end up seeing the complementary color. Since we were exposed to red, we end up seeing cyan. And the color of her weapon was… Cyan! Mixing it with those bright walls makes it difficult to see! They're dirty! No, since it's a different from the stage, it doesn't exactly break the rules. You finally understand what I meant! Though, it's far too late. Let me handle this. Nina? Let me handle this! Nina… From Musashino Kyuoh Academy, Arisa Hara! Followed by St. Union Academy's, Nina Averin! A rifle? With all these obstacles around? You've only got two shots! Sorry, that's the most we could manage to get. If it wasn't for that 30% handicap, we'd at least have one more shot… It's fine. That's more than enough. Start the bout! Will she be okay? Leave it to me! She'll wait until the last possible moment to appear. At 10 o'clock, distance 120 meters! Roger. Distance, 100 meters! You have a five second interval! If you miss the first shot, you won't get another chance! If we had more bullets, you could shoot from a farther distance… Regardless, the map is covered with blind spots… She's there! Guide me! What? Become my eyes. At 11 o'clock, distance 60 meters! She missed! She won't make it in time! Four… three… two… Too slow! Crouch down! One! St. Union Academy receives one point! Yuka!? Thank goodness, she won… R-Reina-san! I'll let you handle the rest… I've got this. Ayumu! Back me up! Got it! St. Union Academy receives one point! Our winner is St. Union Academy! Thank you, Yuka. N-No, I should thank you! Thanks everyone, you did all this for me… It wasn't just for you. Huh? It was for all of us. We'll be counting on you, Nina! Right! Pirozhki Lovers: I started playing circlet bout! Shark Curry: The big announcement is here!! Looks like these girls have finally gotten serious! At this point, you'd choose to further refine yourself! However, they decide to enjoy sweets on a break! Don't blame me when someone pulls the rug from under your feet! Next time, Episode 7 "Sweet Dreams". ▶ [RyuujiTK] Circlet Princess - 07 (BD 1920x1080 x.265-10Bit Flac) This is no good, either… If I overdo it, the Circlet won't be useable… I never thought I'd be playing the role of a hacker. With the revival of their Circlet Bout Club, St. Union Academy surprises everyone, as they continue to advance. The driving force behind their team, appears to be a 1st year student, Yuka Sasaki. With that bursting popularity over social networks, her unbelievable reaction time has led fans to deem her the, "Overclock Princess", as she quickly becomes the center of attention. There's no mistake that Yuka's secret lies within her reaction time… But where that comes from is the real question. A circlet specializing in training, which is also equipped with offline practice functions. It doesn't display any status data, and it's running an AI using outdated voice functions… She's not wearing Siegfried… Oh, you mean this? A perver— No, wait! I received it from a strange person! A strange person… She received it… But, who gave it to her? I see, so you're aiming to operate independently. We're truly grateful for the ongoing support Takamori Academy has provided. Thank you, Captain Sugiura. No, my only wish was to battle against a powerful Union once again. However, this revival happened faster than I expected. Sasaki-kun. Yuka! Oh, Y-Yes? Thanks to you, Union's academy force has really shot up, Overclock Princess. O-Order Korokke Pudding? Overclock Princess. What? You haven't heard about it? They're calling you that all over the internet. What!? I'm an order korokke pudding? We just said it's not that! Now, now… I believe it's only a matter of time before you're all the center of attention. All of us? A former track elite, and one of the fastest players in High School Circlet Bout, Kasahara Miyuki. O-Oh, please… Wielding near identical swordsmanship to Kuroda Ayana, with the ability to achieve even greater heights, Kuroda Reina. You're going too far! The surprise newcomer that won with a gun, one of the most difficult weapons to handle, Nina Averin. Yeah! And lastly, I presume you're Union's trump card? No, I only provide support. I won't participate in games. That's unfortunate to hear… In any case, your team's potential is beyond expectations! Let's meet again during the semifinals. We're looking forward to it, Sugiura-san! The semifinals! Which means I'll get to face Chikage-san next! Umm… When they come from the right, I intercept from below? Then I need to counter… Wait, hold on, should I swing like that, G-kun? Enough already! Try thinking for yourself a bit! But! I only managed to make it this far, thanks to your advice! You fool! I gave you advice so you could learn to win on your own! But, but! Ouch! Focus on the match! Rather, if you want to know something, consult me! Oh… That's right! Um, what are your hobbies? Tea and flower arran— Wait, why are you asking me about that? What!? I asked because you said I could! Yuka is pretty fired up. Idiot! Well, if we beat Takamori, we'll face Kurojishi next. Isn't it fine if I ask you anything!? I was referring to your questions towards G-kun earlier. Those two years of effort will have finally paid off. Oh… you meant that. It's obvious that she'd be excited about this. I see… Before she came here, she spent the last two years practicing offline, right? Yeah, when she barely even knew the rules of Circlet Bout. Now that I think about it, we really don't know much about Yuka… It's not just Yuka, we're clueless about her circlet, as well… Okay, so… When they come from the left, I swing from behind? Who gave you that circlet, Yuka? That'll make things more difficult! What!? It's not just limited to Yuka, right? We've all met recently, and much time hasn't passed. I mean, even with Nina. I like cola. We know that… I like games, more or less. More or less? More or less? Somewhat. Somewhat!? Somewhat!? See? Wasn't that new? Guess you're right… Okay! In order to clear the upcoming semifinals, let's train to improve our teamwork! What sort of training? We're all going out! Wow! That's right! You don't leave the dorm often, so you haven't seen all this. Well, isn't it crazy? It's amazing, I can't believe it! Overclock manju. What!? No way! Oh, it's Union! I'm rooting for you! Feel free to take this! Please take ours, as well! Please try some! Thank you. P-Please take these! Y-Yeah… We ended up receiving a bunch. We really did, I'd love to repay them with a victory… It's hot! Here, drink this! This is carbonated! Oh, you can't handle carbonated drinks? What is this? Xiaolongbao. What? Oh, you're right. 480 kcal. What!? 480 kcal. Which means, with all of this… Don't worry. Huh? You'll be fine if you work off the amount you eat. Okay, I'll eat some, too! That's not very convincing coming from Nina… Yeah… Looks great on you, Yuka! Furthermore, this is our latest outfit. Oh! You look wonderful. Does it fit me? What is this? Tanuki! Hey, Nina! Why did you pick a tanuki!? Tanuki… Excuse me, Miss… Could you please refrain from adjusting anything! I'm asking why! Tanuki! Okay, next… What? It's not fair that you get to sing again! Hey, shut up! Didn't you just power through three songs!? But, but! Number 23! The Ruler of the Universe, great Miyuki! Number 24! Grassland Beauty! Lovely Yuka-cha— What!? I'm singing! What are you saying? That's not fair! Hey, let go! I'm going up next! Then, how about this? Okay, the stage is yours! M-Me? Captain's orders! Hurry up, it's starting! Ah… Well, umm… Guiding this sea of words, with a steady swing… I recall that gaze that felt embedded in time... Despite these powerful emotions, they're unable to reach… Yuka! Sing with me! I can't help but let out a sigh… Oh, okay! The one thing I'm truly certain of, is my love for this dazzling world… I want to keep fighting! Yeah! Tightening this grasp, I'll confront the depths of solitude. Continuing to change, ever so slightly, I'll reach that desired view. Those overflowing feelings are enough to make anything resound. That earnest will and passionate warmth, continues to move my heart... Deepening this bond! Yay! This is definitely the most relaxing spot. It really is… I'll admit, this was a great escape before our match… My total is 2,000 kcal. A-Aren't you eating too much… Actually, I've been wondering about this for a while... What is that? Circlet Bout. What? MR is a byproduct of the Circlet Bout System. Wow, that's amazing! Including that… And that. As well as that! Without Circlet Bout, MR wouldn't have this much influence. That reminds me, why did you decide to join this club? I was interested in the concept of Circlet Bout. Really, so that's why? You didn't know either, Miyuki-chan? Yeah. Hey, come on, fill us in a little more! It'll be long. Aren't we in the middle of teamwork training? Everyone wants to learn more about you. Okay… To begin, when discussing the initial goal circlet bout aims to achieve… That lies within the progressing evolution of MR technology. Essentially, further developing one's possibilities. On the other hand, factors pertaining to MR space rendering, and reproducing sensations, are essential elements that have yet to be officially revealed… Okay, hold on! Y-You're really getting into a big one… I told you it would be long. I-I think it's wonderful to research a field you're fascinated by! Fascinated… I'm willing to do anything to learn more about Circlet Bout. S-Sorry, I couldn't follow any of that… That phrasing makes it sound like you'd even become a spy… Ayumu would never do something like that! Yeah, that's true! Wow! Isn't she stunning? However, this princess isn't just about looks. She's unbelievably strong. Really…? Father, can you make a white dress for me, too! How about making one on your own? I'll teach you everything. What, on my own? Yep, I'm sure you'll love it. Watching, and actually trying, are on different levels. But, I can't do things like you… Don't say you can't, just work until you can. My body is aching… It's been a while since I've had a dream about father… I need to organize the Takamori research data. Oh, Ayumu-chan? You're practicing this early in the morning? I sort of woke up early. G-kun is still asleep, though. Cut it out… Don't you dare cover me in that umeboshi color… Why is a AI sleeping…? This morning air feels wonderful! Hey, Yuka. Before you came to Union, have you ever met the person that gave you your Circlet? No, I haven't… I see… But, they said I'd be reunited with Chikage-san if I had this. That's why I trusted those words, and continued to practice. I'm surprised you believed them so easily. Huh? I'd toss that thing the moment I received it! It's way too suspicious! What, really!? Why are you getting scared of it now? I guess you're right. If… I was able to turn back time, I still think I'd choose to accept this Circlet. I want to stand on the same stage as her again. I'm willing to do anything to make that happen! Yuka… It's the same as you, willing to do anything to learn about Circlet Bout! What, me? For that… I'm hungry, but something like that! Let's wake Nina up, and have breakfast! Willing to do anything… If that's really true, There's still something I haven't done… Yuka. Yes? Battle against me. What? Do svidaniya… What are you thinking!? I mean, I get it… My stress levels would be through the roof if she made me eat those umeboshi everyday… But that doesn't mean— Yuka said she's willing to do anything. What? That's why I'll do anything, as well. Ayumu… Is it possible for us to fight in place of you? I won't be able to gather data that way. Move. Yuka is waiting. Are you really sure about this? Feel free to start. I've continued to research Circlet Bout this entire time… However, I've never obtained the information I truly desired. But that circlet may be the one and only clue, linking to my father… Ayumu-chan, you can't attack with a shield… You should probably worry about yourself. Huh? Using this weapon… is cheating. I knew it! You won't get away! What in the world is that!? She rewrote her weapon data! That's unfair! This isn't fair, Ayumu-chan! It's an obvious handicap! Now! Watch out! Just like I thought, she's two clocks over normal… No, she's reacting three clocks faster! An ordinary circlet shouldn't be capable of those movements! However… I'm not 100% certain yet! I'll settle this right now! What!? G-kun! Yuka! Hey! Father…! What? Hold it, are you aware of where you're standing? In front of Kurojishi's waiting room. Aren't you from Union!? I'm astonished you came here, despite knowing that! We've been awaiting your arrival. This way, if you will. Thanks. It's been a while, Ayumu. Hey. I see you're doing well. You too. It's unusual for you to visit. There's something I need to ask you. If you're referring to him, even I'm unaware. No, it's not about that. I came to ask you about Yuka Sasaki. Chikage, tell me everything that occurred in this convention center two years ago. About the overheating factor. That's why I told you! You brought this upon yourself, now you're facing a crisis! You really think you'll make it to the top like this, Yuka! Hey, are you listening to me, Yuka? Next time, Episode 8 "Revenge Match". ▶ [RyuujiTK] Circlet Princess - 08 (BD 1920x1080 x.265-10Bit Flac) What? Hold it, are you aware of where you're standing? In front of Kurojishi's waiting room. Aren't you from Union? I'm astonished you came here, despite knowing that! We've been awaiting your arrival. This way, if you will. Thanks. It's been a while, Ayumu-san. Hey. I see you're doing well. You too. It's unusual for you to visit. There's something I need to ask you. If you're referring to him, even I'm unaware. No, it's not about that. I came to ask you about Sasaki Yuka. Chikage, tell me everything that occurred in this convention center two years ago. About the overheating factor. Two years ago, I fought against Yuka Sasaki here. The overheating factor that occurred here... I've researched everything, from practice matches to official games. However, I've only been able to confirm the overheating factor during that moment. The circlet bout manufactures announced this overheat was due to your attack overloading the system, but that isn't correct. Sasaki Yuka. She's the key to everything. Did you realise anything when you were fighting Yuka? No matter how trivial it may seem, I want you to tell me. And why is that? I was under the assumption that you despised Circlet Bout. As well as I. I want to find out… What my father everything for, just to pursue… Everything about Circlet Bout. This is footage from my practice match against Yuka. She's fighting while exploiting a flaw in the system. Of course, she's unaware of her actions. I knew it… Now I'm certain. Yuka's strength, and where that originates. The speed of her attacks, is occurring faster than the Circlet Bout system can estimate. When that takes place, what occurs in MR is… That would be a shortcut. Normally, you'd be unable to dodge such a wide-range attack. However, her attacks are occurring faster than the system can process… So, in order to compensate for that processing delay taking place, the system is choosing to cut her intermediate actions. As a result, she's capable of attacking and defending at unthinkable speeds. That's the secret behind her strength. I assume you're capable of using this shortcut, as well. Yes. I had no idea what was occurring. But after battling Yuka, it all started coming together. I believe she was experiencing the exact same phenomenon. Two shortcuts taking place simultaneously, resulting in a massive system failure. That was the factor which resulted in the overheat. Yes, most likely. Yuka, and Chikage… I'm sure these two will connect me to my father's whereabouts. Ayumu. Utilizing system flaws is accompanied by risks. And now, Yuka is no longer an unknown newcomer. In order to defeat her, her opponents are viewing her games hundreds of times, and analyzing her. I'm sure you've realised it. At this rate, Yuka will lose. Onigiris and umeboshi are best partners! I did it. I-It's pointed! Weren't we making them triangles? Well, I guess that technically works, but— What are you up to? A-Ayumu-chan! We were making you dinner. What, for me? You left without having dinner, so I thought you'd be hungry. We were secretly making them to surprise you, but I guess you found out. Let's eat them together. That's a great idea! Have a seat and hold on, Ayumu-chan! Okay, thanks. I want to let Yuka and Chikage battle again… If that happens, I'm sure I'll get one step closer to my father… And… Okay, help yourself! Prijatnovo appetita. O-Our game is pretty soon… That's why we made them! You need to eat up, so we can win, Ayumu-chan! What did you put inside, Nina-chan? Beets. A delicious vegetable used in borscht, that's beets. What! Why didn't you pack it with umeboshi!? I thought it was fine since they're also red… Start over after you've at least pickled them! Don't insult beets. I ate them, to win… You'll do anything to play against Chikage Fujimura, right? Yes! Then we're going to do this! Okay! Do what…? Training! Training? Essentially, in order to compensate for the processing delay, The system is opting to cut these intermediate actio— S-Slow down, Ayumu! What? Don't "what" me, I'm completely lost! Huh… No look, Yuka's been out of it the minute you started! I've got the gist of it. How about you, Reina? Basically, Yuka's attacks are landing faster than anyone can predict, correct? Well, that's essentially what's going on. Oh, so that's what you said! I've always felt something like that was taking place. Once you understand what's occurring, you can easily prepare for it… Ah, so that's why! Yeah, there's the possibility that Takamori is ready to deal with it. What? That's why we're training! She's attacking faster than you can see, and her reaction time leads to overwhelming defense. Her fans giving her the nickname, Overclock Princess, was in many ways correct. In order to catch up to her, I'm certain the system is performing adjustments. It's not that you can't follow her movements, they're not being displayed in MR. That's possible…? Listen, don't believe what's in sight, predict her movements and intercept them. So, the semifinals are tomorrow… It feels so strange. Strange? I mean, not too long ago, the club was facing a crisis. But now, we've made it all the way to the semifinals. I'll get to pick up where I left off against Chikage… That dream is finally about to come true! Yuka. What is it, G-kun? In your next match, no matter what happens, don't depend on me. Try to figure things out with your own strength. What? I'm an AI designed for training. From the perspective of skilled players, I'm a useless device. W-What are you saying, G-kun? In any case, consider this a form of advice. I expect great things from you in tomorrow's match. Right… All right, this is the semifinals against Takamori we've been waiting for! Let's get our revenge from the practice game! We'll support you guys! Yeah! We're counting on you! Overclock Princess. Right! How dependable! Ouch! Oh, come on, this is nothing! She's taking damage before the game… Don't worry, there isn't much time, so I doubt it'll matter. I'll never beat Chikage-san, if I can't win here! U-Um, you're from Takamori… You can't even remember my name? Oh, no! Umm… Iida-san! There's no mistaking you're strong. Huh? That's why you don't think anything of Takamori, and simply focus on defeating Chikage Fujimura, correct? But we've continued to study Union… and more importantly, you. We'll never lose to anyone that considers our battle to be some preliminary! We're down to the Princess Cup Semifinals! St. Union Academy will face off against Takamori Academy! Start the bout! Purple Lightning Flash! Reina-san! Your attacks will never reach me! I'll make sure to slic— Yuka is much faster! We have a knockout! Thank goodness! All right! Guess that's Kuroda Ayana's sister for you… No, that phrase can no longer measure her strength… Captain, please stop getting excited whenever our opponent is strong. Oh, sorry about that, I couldn't help myself. Well, guess I'll head out! Captain Sugiura is showing up now!? We did happen to lose the first round. We'll need to shut that point lead down. Are you saying you'll never lose to me? I'll make you regret that! Start… the bout! What!? That was a wonderful strike! However, you won't beat me with speed alone. That goes for you, and Yuka Sasaki! It's a knockout! She's strong… That's captain Sugiura, her strength is overwhelming. Yuka! Takamori has been studying Union. Even then, I wonder if you'll be able to make it… To reach me. G-kun! In your next match, no matter what happens, don't depend on me. Try to figure things out with your own strength. Start the bout! You're slow, you think you can hold back since you beat me in a practice match!? So, what sort of training will we give her? She's been using the shortcut unconsciously this entire time, so she'll learn to use it at will. I understand! So… what does that me? You don't understand at all! First, when you swing G-kun, we have to understand the speed required to activate a shortcut. You'll need to learn the difference. Your normal attacks, and those utilizing the shortcut, or "overclock attacks". You have to bring them forth interchangeably. Don't let her figure out when your overclock attacks are coming. If you can achieve that… All right! But it was shallow! It's no problem when you charge in like some one-trick pony! Just focus on learning her patterns! She managed to stop Yuka! I've caught you, Princess! She's reading her attacks… Guess it comes down to a lack of training! Yeah… Though, it's taking everything she has. We're at a stalemate. Listen, don't believe what's in sight, predict her movements and intercept them. I don't mind if you're only blocking, just wait for a gap to exploit. But! We can't win by simply blocking… Oh no, you will win! G-kun! You're finished! G-kun… The game is already over… G-kun. G-kun!? No, you couldn't be! Please say something, G-kun! G-kun! Where's Yuka? She wouldn't wake up for breakfast. I tried knocking, but no reply. Let's go wake her up. Yeah, that's right. I'm sure she was shocked, but losing is another part of learning. We've got to give it our all moving forward! We'll get a chicken dinner this time. That's right. Come on, let's go! Yuka, Yuka? Captain's orders, wake up! Let's open it with the master key. It's already open… Yuka? Where did she go? Look! I'm sorry…? Did Yuka leave? Let's go! Go…? Where? Yuka's home! Yuka? Don't you need to attend school? Taking it online earns credit, so it'll be fine. She suddenly comes back without a word, but now she's just lying around. Will this girl be okay...? Let her be. Yuka… If you were that troubled, why didn't you consult us first! Can you talk to us? Tell us what's wrong…? By the way, how do you get to Wakayama from Tokyo? Next time, Episode 9 "Home Coming". ▶ [RyuujiTK] Circlet Princess - 09 (BD 1920x1080 x.265-10Bit Flac) Dear, have you seen Yuka? Huh? She's in the storage room again. She's doing that strange game again. That circuit bat one. She's been absorbed in that thing ever since she came back from her Tokyo trip. Should we really leave her be? It's fine if she found somethin' she really loves. I-I can't stop… I can't lose here… Chikage-san is waiting for me up ahead! We definitely can't pass on the takoyaki! Then we've got to grab some okonomiyaki, and these meat buns… What about you, Nina? Are you after that limited cola? Yeah. Osaka's limited, Deep-fried Skewered Cola! Whoa, that's crazy… I can't imagine how that would taste, will it be good? If it's cola, all is forgiven. Listen, we didn't come here to have fun! I get it… But we're all the way out here, can't we enjoy it a little? Yuka is obviously our main priority! Have your fun after we've taken care of that! Did you hear that, huh? This is coming from the woman that was so abusive towards Yuka! Looks like someone's been tamed. Hey, you two! What have you been doing? I'm getting close to figuring this out. Huh? About Yuka, and a few other mysteries. Grandpa, can I use the storage room? Yeah, go ahead! It's been a while… G-kun… We finally arrived… My butt hurts a bit. Wasn't Yuka in Wakayama? It should be right next to Osaka. Hang on a bit more, right, Reina— What's wrong? Three and a half hours… This can't be real… It's longer than everything until now… Pull it together, Nina! We still have a long way to go! L-Let's get going! Not another train… Yuka, are you going somewhere? I'm going out for a walk. It's almost time for supper, so hurry back. Okay! Yay! This is no fun… Wow, that looks so fun! I found something interesting by going to Tokyo, and I was able to meet Chikage-san… But, I lost right before reaching her. I feel terrible for what I did to everyone. I'm so sorry, everyone… Isn't that something you should tell us in person? Huh!? I knew you were in the countryside, but I never expected this… G-Ghost? Huh!? What are you saying! We came here to talk to y— I know it's all my fault! But you don't need to haunt me just because I lost! Hey! Don't go killing us off! Wait! What's up with her!? She's like a wild monkey. Those unbelievable athletic abilities… and her abnormal adaptive capability. I-I get it now! So this is her- Ayumu! Save the analysis for later! Keep running! R-Right… We finally caught her… Yuka… Why did you run away from us, without saying anything? T-That's… Because you lost against Takamori? Yes… I couldn't stop thinking about how everything came to an end… So… See, it's just like I said? Yuka, you didn't understand. What? The double elimination system. Even if you lose once, there's a chance to make a comeback. Huh? Then that means I can fight against Chikage-san! Yes, you still have that opportunity. But… I really can't. Ever since that game, G-kun stopped responding… What!? Really!? Yes… That's why I assumed everything was over… Yuka, I understand you were shocked, but our battle isn't over. Reina-chan… I'm sure there's still something we can do. So, let's head back. B-But… Come on, let's go! Y-Yuka! I'm jealous… There's a hot spring in walking distance from your house… Nina! You can't swim here! Prosti… Um… I'm sorry about earlier. Don't worry about it, I was being careless. That's not true… All I've done was cause everyone trouble… I've been like this ever since I came home… It's made my grandmother constantly worry… I've been so focused on Circlet Bout, and only thought about myself… I really am helpless... And selfish… Yuka. Without mistake, you're selfish. If left alone, you rush into things recklessly, and there's nothing more troublesome than you. However, It's because of who you are, that you were able to move us all, and give us courage! That's why we've made it this far. Everyone… You're our ace! Don't say you'll disappear. Okay! You're all trusting me so much, and I need to give it my all… I can't keep acting like this. Is it because Sieg isn't here? Yes, I've been with G-kun ever since I went to Union. I don't know how I'll fight alone going forward… Yuka, you gave me courage. Nina-chan? That's why it's my turn to work hard for you. I'll teach you a sniper's thought process. I guess I'll teach you when to rush in, then. I'll think of a way to do something about your weapon. Everyone…! We all want to help you. We intend to repay you for everything you've done for us. Reina-chan… Didn't you tell me? To depend on you more. Now it's our turn to tell you. Yuka, depend on us more! Everyone… You're all supporting me this much… I'm no good, honestly… Once again, I, Yuka Sasaki… will return to Union immediately, and do my best! Wow… H-Hey! Before that, make sure you cover yourself, Yuka! It's fine! Aside from us, there are only wild animals around here! That isn't the issue! You need to have a bit more shame! Ah, the way you said that! You sound a bit like G-kun! Wow, talk about a feast! There isn't much around to offer, but please enjoy your stay. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, thank you for having us. I guess these are unavoidable. This could work! Um, is Yuka working hard over there? She's a bit naive about the outside world, we were wondering if she was causing any trouble. Yuka-san is doing her best. Rather than causing trouble, she's our team's dependable ace. Yeah. Is that so, that's wonderful to hear. The moment the scholarship came in, I wasn't sure what to make of it, but she's managing just fine. A scholarship came in? Indeed, she visited Tokyo when she was in middle school. Then, when she came back, a letter from Union arrived. It was so sudden, everyone was surprised! That's what's going on! Yuka, do you remember the person that gave you your circlet? Huh? She mentioned a strange old man, you mean that? Oh, that's right! I met a pervert! The person who gave you that is, Makoto Aizawa… My father! What!? It's no good, Sieg isn't there, after all. No way… Even the voice recognition program is missing without a trace. It's completely blank. That's odd though… Shouldn't any damaged weapon return to normal after a match? Yeah, but in actuality, the weapon data is missing. What…? But that's strange. When I was training yesterday, I was able to play normally… Training? Yes, before I enrolled in Union, I used that mode to play at home. What was it again… I was told I could use offer line… Um, from your father! Offer line…? Oh! Offline mode! Yes, that's it! An offline! Yuka, could you show me that? It's here, Ayumu-chan. All right, you can get started. O-Okay… See, it's right here! She's right, her weapon was able to materialize! But there was no activity earlier. It's just a guess, but it may have been hidden. Hidden? Intentionally, though I'm not sure for what purpose… That said, I've never seen a space like this before… I'm sure you haven’t… Since this is completely custom made. Custom!? Why does Yuka have something like that? Yuka, you can start. Roger that! T-This is! It's huge! What is going on, the values keep altering. It's unbelievably fast… These movements are unreal… Yuka is amazing! By progressively raising the difficulty, your body becomes familiar with the movements, until you're able to perform the actions naturally… You could call it a battle development kit. I've been analyzing Yuka's circlet this entire time, but now I finally understand it. Understand what? Circlet Bout DKX. It's something unique, that only my father possesses. Why would Yuka be given something like that? My father… Makoto Aizawa, was the engineer that developed the MR system. My father desire was for the MR system to be prevalent. Then, around a decade ago, a popular VR game gave him a hint, which led him to developing a new game. And that game was Circlet Bout? Right. The game's development was going well. However, if it was released at that point, there was no guarantee that it would take off. So to begin, they cultivated an unrivaled player. Wait, you don't mean! Precisely, Chikage Fujimura, she was a star prepared by the management. My father's objective was successful, and she gained incomparable abilities. But the project was shelved there… Why? Wasn't it successful? I'm not sure… Shortly after, my father separated from the team… Even his whereabouts are unknown. The only thing my father left behind was this terminal. That's why I assumed all the answers would lie here. Though, it looks like the hint was in that. I've finished! Your father was after something, and chose to entrust this circlet to Yuka? That's right. It's true that Yuka has grown stronger… However, she's become shackled by that play style as a result. Was he also after that? Yeah, Sieg's disappearance, as well. I'm sure there's a reason behind everything. But, for what reason… Huh? U-Umm… I'm sorry, Yuka. For getting you wrapped up in all of this… Huh? This is most likely a challenge from my father. Challenge? What do you mean…? I'm not sure, but what I can say is, If she continues to fight like this, Yuka won't be able to win again. If Yuka can no longer win, our battle will also come to an end. T-Then, I can't play against Chikage-san ever again!? No, that's not it, Yuka. Don't say you can't… Work until you can. I'll make sure you're guided to the stage, Princess. Have a safe trip back. Thank you for everything. Yuka, you finally found something you really love, so work hard. I will! We've finally got Yuka back, let's do something to get us all fired up! Like a team huddle? What are you saying now, we don't need to do that. No! These are orders from your captain. Hmm, it'd be great if we had something to toast with… Oh! I have just the thing! A toast with umeboshi… Well, why not, it'd suit us anyway. Okay, everyone, take one! Okay! Take the lead, Yuka! You want me to? Yeah. As our ace. We're counting on you. I understand! Well… Fight, Union! Yeah! Damn… We still can't reach them. We still have a second chance. Don't give up. The next match in the loser's bracket. Will Union win their game, and face us? They'll make it! However, they're going down. In order for us to come out on top… Yuka is finally back, so there's nothing to worry about now! Wait, why does everyone have such a serious look!? Were Yuka's umeboshi that sour? Next time, Episode 10 "Evolution Girl". ▶ [RyuujiTK] Circlet Princess - 10 (BD 1920x1080 x.265-10Bit Flac) No matter how much you shoot, you'll never pierce this shield. In order to clear our previous humiliation, we've devised the perfect counter strategy. This shield, which is formed by the resources of everyone in our club, can't be measured with mere numbers! You could call this the strength of Musashino Kyuoh's bond! Now, if you think you can break this, go ahead an— Nina-chan is amazing! She fell right into Nina's plan! Yeah! You think we can still catch it? The match between Kurojishi and Takamori? It'll decide who we face next. There's no harm in watching it. You've got that right. I won't accept… this loss… So, Kurojishi won, after all… Chikage-san… That's right! We need to focus on our next opponent! Yeah. Well, for starters, great work everyone! Wait, what's up with you guys!? We're playing against Takamori next. A team we've already lost to… Come on, there's no point in being scared. That same Takamori just lost to Kurojishi! It'll work out somehow! I can't believe you're this terrible at cheering others up. What was that? I'm sure Sugiura will be representing Takamori. Miyuki, what did you think, since you actually played her? Sugiura… Her entire play-style just seemed flawless. On the other hand, it was like she knew me down to my every step. It felt like an obsession for an indisputable victory. Indeed, they're completely different from last year. Rather than winning, I assumed their team focused on traditions and pride. Um! Um… Please let me play in the next game! Yuka would be our best bet against Sugiura, whose overall abilities are outstanding. Reina-chan! All right! You'll be up in the next game! Right! Thank you so much! Now that it's decided, we'll do everything we can to support you! Let us know if you need anything or have a question. Oh, that's right, my weapon… It's been acting strange ever since G-kun disappeared. What? What do you mean by strange? It sort of feels floaty, or maybe really stiff... like, bam! What does that mean? I understand the cause. Really? It's time for a new weapon. Yuka, let's build a new one! A new weapon! Why not, captain!? Why won't you do it? We've already discussed this countless times. I can't accept that. Our best should decide the losers match! You should be the one playing. Union has a similar thought process, and they intend to use Yuka Sasaki as a countermeasure. H-However! This is essential for winning. She already lost to you, and she hasn't shaken off the defeat of her overclock. Simply knowing she'll face you again will put her under immense pressure. Use this. What is that? Apparently, this will drastically improve your reaction time. Similar to our plan for countering the overclock, I'm sure this will aid you. All right, get back to practice everyone! Yes ma'am! Are you really fine with that? Huh? Yuka Sasaki's growth is remarkable. We need to win while we can, and I want to give Iida confidence. So Takamori can win next year, as well. Then, Chikage Fujimura is still… That was a monster… She thoroughly understands Circlet Bout. No, when I played against Chikage Fujimura, the Circlet Bout System finally seemed complete. I couldn't help feeling that… But, Hiyori! However, no matter how strong she may be, she'll retire this year. Takamori will shatter Kurojishi next year, and claim victory. To achieve that, I need to do everything I can now. Ever since you became captain, I thought the club changed for the better. But, you don't need to shoulder everything alone. Going forward, we'll use the circlet to collect your data. My data? Why would we need that? Because Sieg isn't here. Sieg wasn't simply giving you advice. Sieg would constantly monitor your condition, and analyze your battle data, to adjust your weapon status into the most optimal condition. Basically, Sieg was altering everything for you. I see… so that's why. But that's no longer suitable for you, so we'll need a new weapon, exclusively for you. Exclusively for me? That sounds wonderful! What!? 1000 push-ups, a 20 km run, 100 hill dashes… What is this!? Unnecessary movements decrease when you're exhausted, so it'll be easier to collect your data. What!? We'll start with this workout and push you to your limit. To my… limit? Don't worry, this should be easier than running around in the mountains! Okay, get running! As soon as you finish, we'll move to battle simulations! We don't have time! Y-Yes ma'am! I wonder how everyone else is doing… We'll need all these resources just to create a new weapon… We've got to do it! Yuka needs a replacement for Sieg! I understand that. However, even if we passed it through the student council as a special budget, I'm not sure we'll be capable of securing these resources… Use mine. Whoa! You have that much… how did you? Through games, I'll also ask my followers if they can pitch in. Then, I'll try reaching out to some other clubs! Got it. The student council will also do everything in their power. Way to go, Miss Student Delegate! Harasho! This is the student delegate, Reina Kuroda. Today, I'd like to reach out to the student body of St. Union Academy. Currently, the Circlet Bout Club is in need of an immense amount of resources. I don't mind if it's only a small amount, I'd like to request some of your resources. Of course, I'm not forcing you. But please, lend us your strength. Overclock Manju We need everyone's help, so our ace can stand up once again! Please help us. Thank you so much! Harasho! This is unbelievable, I have to inform Yuka! She already knows. What? Yuka was watching, as well. She's serious! It's my job from here on out. I'll prepare the ultimate weapon for Yuka. I can't believe it… Everyone in Union, and around the city. There are so many people supporting me… When I was back home, I was always alone. Oh! This place is pretty shabby, but the bath is surprisingly nice. Miyuki-chan!? It's not just me. What? They renovated the plumbing system a few years ago. Though, with the limited budget, everything else remained untouched. Reina-chan, too! Why are you here? Training camp apparently. Huh? We made sure to get permission. Nina, where's Ayumu? She needed to do something in her room. Ayumu told us she wanted various battle patterns, so you're playing against us, with all the time we can squeeze out tomorrow! You're not alone, Yuka. We've come this far, all that's left is to win, Yuka! Right! I have more than enough resources. All that's left is to give it my all. Training camp… it sounds a bit exciting. Now, I understand I've been fighting with everyone's support. Watch over me, Sieg. Ah… This accuracy just won't budge without Sieg… Wait, isn't this Sieg's… Autonomous agent! Today, the Princess Cup losers match will take place! Will all ticket holders please proceed to the entrance. My apologies for the wait, Miss. I never requested a guide. Indeed, I'm sure you no longer require me. Aizawa-sensei!? It's been a while, Chikage-kun. Where have you been all this time… More importantly, why are you a guide? What about you? Won't you stand out in your uniform? I-I came here right after class, so I didn't have time to… Who do you think will win? In terms of ability and experience, Sugiura dominates. Furthermore, Yuka's trump card, the overclock, has been cracked. Sugiura will likely take this. However, you're not truly convinced about that. A straightforward analysis doesn't apply when considering Yuka. Witnessing her growth after a single loss, that's far more interesting. It would appear that making the arrangements were correct. Wait… Did you inform Takamori about her overclock? Things went well up to that point. What? That's… I handed this to Sugiura for today's match, but it was sent right back to me. Huh? That was quite the surprise. Now, I wonder how things will turn out. What's going on here? Why won't you play against Yuka Sasaki? Which of you is responsible for doing this!? I did it. Yoshino-senpai!? Didn't you tell us back then, captain! That this isn't real Circlet Bout! Senpai! What was that previous game? Playing a match you don't intend to win, is that how Takamori handles things? Can you still call yourself a candita? Hiyori! A-As long as Chikage Fujimura is around… Takamori has no chance of winning… Don't you realise that? Amongst the upperclassmen, a few have been scouted by overseas leagues. A single injury could jeopardize everything… No! That isn't real Circlet Bout! Ultimately, they clashed with you, and all our regulars last year resigned. I understand you feel responsible for that. However, I'm not the strongest player at Takamori. Captain Sugiura, you are. Iida… you… Ever since you became captain, I thought the club changed for the better. But, you don't need to shoulder everything alone. Please give it everything you've got, captain! Iida… I want to see things through till the end, as the last remaining third year student. The battle of Takamori's new Circlet Bout Club! We didn't have any time to test things out, but do you think you'll manage? I'm fine, since it's the weapon everyone built together. Be cautious, you mustn't let your guard down until you see through her tactics. Yes. Well, that's only a front… Don't worry about those tricks, just give it your all! Yes. All right, let's go! I'm looking forward to playing you. We haven't played since we first met. In Takamori's traditional 100-man-kumite, you were the last person remaining. Thank you very much, I really enjoyed it. As did I. I want to battle you again, a serious match next time… I couldn't get that out of my head. I'll defeat you, and challenge Kurojishi once again with my team! I won't lose, everyone's watching me! Momentarily, the losers final will commence! Start the bout! Hmph, she shortened the blade to reduce its weight. When considering methods to draw out Yuka's abilities, it's not a bad decision. But it's stale! It's such an uninspired decision. What was she thinking with this surplus of resources. This isn't everything, right? I see, you intended to utilize your speed through that tiny weapon. However! Those light attacks aren't enough to shatter my defense! Yuka! Man, I guess that's captain Sugiura. She's matching Yuka's speed. It'd be wonderful if she attack with her overclock, but… It'll likely be countered if she tries. If I'm correct… I knew it! It's reacting to Yuka! Hey, what's going on…? There's still something we can try! What? Is that all you've got? I thought you managed to crawl your way back up, but... I'm honestly disappointed! That's the way! Desperately attack me! You'll never become stronger through fearing defeat. Once you've hit the lowest point, only those who rise again, through their own strength, can grow. You may be correct… But, there's a possibility that you're not! What? I couldn't stand back up alone! Everyone… I'm standing here because there are others I cherish! I see, so you're the same. That's even more reason I can't afford to lose! I won't lose either! If I drop my focus for even a moment, she'll take this… An opportunity is sure to emerge! I have to move faster… be even sharper! Right there! Her weapon was destroyed! Yuka! The sword that… everyone gave me! This is the end! I haven't lost yet! This is… That's what Sieg left behind! Just for you! G-kun did… I see… I was never alone… Here I go! There are two blades!? That's the conclusion derived from the prototype!? For Yuka, who evolves during battle, she needs a weapon capable of evolving, as well! Sieg left behind the key just for that! Where did this speed come from…? If one isn't enough, just make another!? How simplistic! Captain! Wow! Even Sugiura can't land a hit! Not just that, it's taking everything she has just to defend! The new weapon is drawing out Yuka's strength! Yeah, Sieg really is amazing! Now's your chance, Yuka! Yuka! Yuka! Yuka, finish it! Right! Our winner is Yuka Sasaki! St. Union Academy advances to the grand finals! Just look at that. Those are the final parts. For you, my greatest masterpiece, to advance to the next stage. We finally made it this far, Nina! Da! Even I'm starting to feel nervous now. Yuka will be fine. You're right. I'm sure she'll mess something up. You can't say that! Next time, Episode 11 "Grand Final". ▶ [RyuujiTK] Circlet Princess - 11 (BD 1920x1080 x.265-10Bit Flac) If I drop my focus for even a moment, she'll take this… An opportunity is sure to emerge! I have to move faster… be even sharper! Right there! Her weapon was destroyed! Yuka! The sword that… everyone gave me! This is the end! I haven't lost yet! This is… That's what Sieg left behind! Just for you! G-kun did… I see… I was never alone… Here I go! There are two blades!? That's the conclusion derived from the prototype!?

How simplistic! Captain! Wow! Even Sugiura can't land a hit! Not just that, it's taking everything she has just to defend! The new weapon is drawing out Yuka's strength! Yeah, Sieg really is amazing! Now's your chance, Yuka! Yuka! Yuka! Yuka! Finish it! Right! Our winner is Yuka Sasaki! St. Union Academy advances to the grand finals! Yuka! Looks like you're back, Yuka. Using two swords was pretty cool. Are you going to try two rifles? That's not a bad idea. Thank you, Yuka. No, I should thank you. Thank you so much, Ayumu-chan. Captain Sugiura… Circlet Bout was finally getting interesting, but… we couldn't last to the end. Raise your head! Today's a fresh start, as we work towards winning next year! Right! So, you dragged Yuka all the way up here… Just to have her face me? No, you're wrong. Yuka's captivation with you led her this far. But weren't you also the one who made me? I simply served as a catalyst. Evolution is a process that's witnessed, not conducted. As expected… No, you're a masterpiece beyond my expectations. That goes for Yuka-kun, as well. What stage will you elevate us to during the grand finals… I can't wait to witness it. It's still consuming resources… I assumed it reached its final form, but there's the possibility of an even further evolution? What's going to happen? G-kun, I've made it to the grand finals. Watch over me, G-kun. Wow, this is amazing! It looks so real! W-What's going on? This is where it all started… Are you lost again? Chikage-san! No... I came here with my goal of reaching you. Did Ayumu tell you about the person who handed you that circlet? It was Ayumu's father, right? He's attempting to take advantage of you. Even then, do you intend on fighting me? Of course! Honestly, I'm still uncertain about those complicated parts, but… It's because Circlet Bout is fun! Yes, that's right. I can’t wait for the grand finals. I feel the same. I'm looking forward to it! We're down to the Princess Cup's grand final! The match between Kurojishi Sougou Academy, and St. Union Academy will begin momentarily! Don't forget we came here from losers! Which means everything ends if they take two games. Miyuki and I will make sure you get your chance! Thank you! At first, I only wanted to play Chikage-san again. That was all I cared about… But things are different now! I want the five of us to beat Kurojishi! Yeah. And… All right then! Let's give it our all! Fight, Union! Yeah!! Is he here, as well? Aizawa-sensei. Yes, I'm sure he's here, watching from the shadows. He simply visited to watch that Yuka girl, correct? After feigning ignorance and abandoning us second-generations. His only interests are Chikage-senpai, and that girl… He truly is a selfish man… Chikage-senpai! Shall we take care of Union before you even need to face Yuka Sasaki? Hmph... what would our sponsors say if we went and did that? I don't mind. What? Circlet Bout is a team sport… Kurojishi's victory takes priority over everything. There isn't an ounce of truth in those words… The grand final features three rounds! We'll conduct one-on-one matches! Well, I truly adore long weapons, since they're easier to bind! Sarina Sekiguchi VS Reina Kuroda! Start the bout! She took a serious blow! All right! I'll strip you of everything, so you can taste my whip directly! That's not happening! My, how ungraceful. They're evenly matched. There's no way I could lose in strength! Did you assume Yuka was your only problem at Union!? No matter how hard I try, I'll never win against Chikage-senpai… Since I was abandoned, as a failed project… My resolve buckled under those thoughts. I never once attempted to fight it. However… Yuka Sasaki… Hang in there, Reina-chan! Her existence ignited my desire! I won't forgive you if you lose! I was only making excuses, without confronting my own weakness! What about you? Aren't you assuming Chikage Fujimura is your only problem at Kurojishi? Never, I understand you're strong. But even then, I'll win! Our winner is Kurojishi Sougou Academy's, Sarina Sekiguchi! What was your name? Are you making fun of me? I have no intention of mocking you, I simply wasn't interested… Until recently. Indeed, Yuka Sasaki wasn't the only worthy opponent. Would you tell me your name? I'll remember it this time. Reina Kuroda. Please raise your head, Reina-chan! I'm sorry… We're up against Kurojishi. They're not a team we'd be able to beat easily. We're all aware of that. Are you okay, Miyuki? Leave it to me! Isn't this the moment where a star shines? Where does all your confidence come from…? Anyway! Yuka, you can count on me to pass the baton, so take care of the last round. I will! Man… I went and said all that just to look cool… What's the matter? You seem rather frightened. I'm trembling with excitement! Oh, is that so? Then allow me to teach you true fear! Talk about creepy! Well… Looks like it's time to become a real star, Miyuki. Kurojishi Sougou Academy's, Takane Hibino VS, St. Union Academy's, Miyuki Kasahara! Start the bout! I wanted to make Chikage-senpai suffer! Why did that man choose Yuka Sasaki instead? What about Yuka? I can't have you forgetting about me! Would you spare me the time and lose? I can't afford to stand here, humoring filth. I have no business with a loser. Chikage-senpai is my sole rival. Would you be kind enough to step aside? I'll repeat myself one last time, I have no business with losers! What? Amateur! Miyuki! Circlet Bout isn't all about Chikage Fujimura! Everyone's giving their all! Our winner is St. Union Academy's, Miyuki Kasahara! T-That was underhanded… I'd never actually kick you. And don't forget… Boomerangs always return. Thank you so much, Miyuki-chan! We should be thanking you. Huh? Thank you, Yuka. You reminded me of how enjoyable Circlet Bout can be. I like games, but I enjoy playing Circlet Bout with everyone more. Nina-chan… Yuka, you're the one who'll become the Princess. The rest is up to you. Right! How tragic, Aizawa-sensei… Only capable of observing us. You'll never truly understand while spectating from there. True clashes, competing against each other, the immense pleasure of improving! St. Union Academy's, Yuka Sasaki! Kurojishi Sougou Academy's, Chikage Fujimura! Let's finish what we started two years ago, Chikage-san! Let's. It's round three of the grand final! Start the bout! You're not the only one capable of activating the overclock. Yuka! Well… She can't land a hit!? Their difference in Circlet Bout experience is too large! Incapable of closing the skill gap… What will you do? I'll be on the offense this time. Huh? I'm over here. Yuka! This battle is finished. That's… What is that strange light…? Sieg's autonomous mode activated on its own! I'll continue fighting till the very end! For G-kun, and my comrades, I'll never give up! Knuckles!? Is this the conclusion derived from the prototype!? Hey… Yuka's pushing her back! I get it now… That's what was going on! What? For Yuka, dual wielding was purely helping her break in this new play-style! Yuka is adapting to the Circlet Bout system at an unbelievable level! If you wanted to fully utilize that adaptability… You'd become one with your weapon, in that form! I'm being pushed back? I'm going to lose!? This is what I've longed for… A warrior at the same level… An opponent that could push me to the limit… And… for me to defeat them in the end! We have a reset! Our winner is St. Union Academy's, Yuka Sasaki! It's a reset from the losers side! Unbelievable… Chikage-senpai lost… All right! Wait, we can't celebrate yet. If anything, we're just getting started… Hold on, something's off. What? Through the endeavor of adapting to one's environment, we trigger evolution. Chikage-kun... to achieve even greater heights, an existence capable of pushing you was necessary. The moment has arrived, when humanity elevates to the next stage. Now… Let's begin. The Ultimate Circlet Bout. Next time, the final episode, "Circlet Princess". ▶ [RyuujiTK] Circlet Princess - 12 END (BD 1920x1080 x.265-10Bit Flac) Now… let's begin. The Ultimate Circlet Bout. Something unbelievable has just occurred! Our greatest player, Chikage Fujimura, has met defeat! With this reset, we advance to the final bout! I never expected her to experience a similar change. She seems unbelievably strong. Y-Yuka… Whoever controls this round will take home the victory! They'll earn the title of Princess! Now then… Start… the bout! Here I come! I can't land a hit!? Why…? I've longed for this moment… This is the Circlet Bout I desired! I'm only getting started, Yuka. Ch… Chikage-san? I can hardly contain this elation. I'm finally able to pick up where we left off. Casting everything aside, being absorbed only in the battle… Just like back then. Picking up where we left off… You felt the same! Right now, it's just the two of us. Forget everything, including your team… and face me! T-This is her… Chikage Fujimura's true strength. She's amazing. I guess it would come to this. In the end, surpassing Chikage-senpai was impossible. Indeed… I wonder what that Union girl intends to do. Chikage-senpai acknowledged her, this won't end so easily. You're right. You... really are... amazing… I'm starting to think reaching you may be impossible… But… I really can't fight on my own… I wouldn't be capable of challenging you, if it wasn't for everyone's efforts. That's why! I'll definitely catch up to you! Wow... Was this also included in your plan, Ayumu? It was a weapon that could be altered based on the situation, but… That's… Yeah! It looks like there's nothing left for me to do for the princess! Yuka is so cool! I'm not really following this, but they look even now! Go for it, Yuka! For you to lose, after defeating me… I'd never allow that. You came this far to beat Chikage Fujimura, right? Give it all you've got! Don't worry, we're all here with you! As long as I have these bonds, I'll keep erupting with strength! I… won't lose! Yuka is amazing! She was on the verge of defeat… I can't believe her tenacity! Yuka's become even stronger, Ayumu. Yeah. So, this really wasn't over. I can hardly wait for next year. Not bad. Thank you, we've all worked hard to reach this stage! I see… so that's the path you've discovered. Very well, then try to reach me! You've truly become strong. Man, she's still on the losing side! If we don't have something else, turning things around won't be easy… Something else? Let's go, Yuka! We've got your victory umeboshi ready! Is this all according to my father's plan? You've learned to act on your own, Chikage-kun. That's the way. It's imperative that you make your own choices, rather than following instructions. Two warriors refining themselves. Using your brain, utilizing your tools, while striking with your emotions. The results born through that perseverance, will lead humanity to the future. That exists, far beyond anything I can begin to fathom. Giving shape to your emotions… This may have only been possible because of those two. Wow! Are they uniting with all the supporters spectating!? Maybe the change in Yuka's battle suit was in response to everyone's feelings. Everyone's emotions are coming together. Yeah… Right now, in this moment, we're all fighting alongside Yuka! Maybe this was the true meaning behind MR. Geez… For an engineering prodigy, you sure can be awkward. Indeed, that goes for both of us. You still had that much strength… Now, I'll turn this around! They truly are evenly matched! This last bout may be one for the books, as their brawl enters the final stretch! I expected nothing less. Not bad! No, it's too early to celebrate. All right! Don't we have a shot at winning now!? This doesn't look good… What? Yuka has already reached her limit. She needed to settle everything with that last attack… Everyone's strength, huh… I'll admit that it's a tremendous force. But in the end, victory goes to the one capable of improving themselves! I couldn't see it through till the very end. Even though everyone was supporting me… I'm sorry, G-kun… Come on! This isn't the time for apologies! W-What!? How spineless can you get! You're always like this when it matters most! G-G… G-kun!? Weren't you broken? I already told you! I wanted you to fight on your own! That's why I decided to sit back for a while! But I can't even retire in peace with the way you're performing! Y-You don't have to say it like that! You know, I… I tried my best! Hmph, I wonder about that! You still lost yourself when it matters most! What makes you say that? Try thinking back! Why did you begin playing Circlet Bout? Because it was fun? Why did you desire to play against Chikage Fujimura? Because it was… fun! You finally remembered, you imbecile! Honestly, you're truly a handful! G-kun… What is it? Thank you so much! Your gratitude is unnecessary. Look ahead, Yuka. You're accompanied by pleasure, and brimming with optimism. That's precisely why everyone chose to follow you. You mustn't forget that. I understand! All right, get back out there! Give it your all, so you'll have no regrets! I will! Yuka… You're the Princess. There's nothing to do… Nina, is anything interesting going on? I passed one million followers on my streaming channel. One million!? No way, you're pretty much set with that! I can drink cola for the rest of my life. Man, lucky you… I wonder if I'll ever get anything like that… But you received a sponsorship from your dad. That wasn't because I asked, he just called me out of the blue… I didn’t have a reason to turn him down… But that's not important! When are we getting that new club room, Reina? Two weeks from now! It's taking forever! What's the point of just getting a new sign… Can you hurry it up? Just bear with it! For starters, haven't you been slacking too much! Why can't I? Don't I deserve a break after winning? That was three months ago. Here you go. Huh? ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- St. Union faces a losing streak… ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- With difficulty adapting to the new rules, Union is struck with three straight losses. They're back on path to being the weakest school. They can't be serious, who wrote this! However, it's undeniable that we're struggling with these new rules. Why did they change the rules? The overheat was problematic. Well, a lot happened during that match… Thanks to that, even weapons are faced with regulations… Well, we're not even playing one-on-one matches now. Implementing a system for teams to face off in a battle royale… That ended up being a difficult revision for us. Next year, from what we eat to everything we wear, we'll form a team with a mastery of red! No opponent will escape our crimson reach! I may have been defeated this year, but things won't be the same next year, Miyuki Kasahara! You'll witness how fierce my elegant team can be! Listen up! We're claiming the top next year. We won't let them call us a runner-up again! Yes ma'am! We're set for team battles. Indeed, we need to demonstrate how the top wins. A simple victory isn't enough. We need a team that lives up to Chikage-senpai's name. Compared to everyone else, we haven't even formed a proper strategy. We can't blame the media for feeling uneasy about us. That's why we need to grab a coach, like other teams, and practice group battles! Oh yeah, what did Ayana-san say? She politely declined. Apparently, she's busy with individual battles over there. So we're stuck with fundamentals and stamina training… Don't worry, I called a replacement. Really? Yeah, I managed to pull a few strings, and found someone who participated in the overseas league. They plan on arriving today, so we'll get to meet them later. So, did you ever get to meet your dad? Nope, not even once. Wha…? Why not? You said you knew where he was, and how to contact him. Well, seeing him was never my goal. And… What? MR System Design Specifications This is… Well, some interesting events happened, so I'm fine now. Really? Well, all right. More importantly, let's start practicing! Our coach is coming, too! Wait hold on, where's Yuka? The same place, as usual. It's only been three months… I wonder how Chikage-san is doing. Well, I should get going. Chikage-san! Overseas, single battles are still popular. I intend to give it my all there. I'll make sure to watch! Oh, I'll also cheer for you! I can't travel, so it'll only be from streams, but I'll leave comments! Yuka. Y-Yes? I'll become even stronger, but I learned that there's another player, capable of becoming just as powerful. Huh? That's why even now, I have a single rival… You're the only one, Yuka Sasaki. What? Yuka, I'll be waiting. Right! Well, see you later. Have a safe trip! Chikage-san said… You really were here! What are you fantasizing about, Yuka? Miyuki-chan! You sure do love this place, Yuka. B-Because— Well, this is where everything changed, so it makes sense. The holy pilgrimage. Oh, that's it! This is a special place! I don't know about all that holy visiting stuff, but we need to practice for our upcoming games. Are you aware of that, Miss Ace? I'm sorry. This is coming from the person who lays around the club room? Shut up! My rest is important! Even umeboshi need time to rest and pickle! See how essential resting is? Did you remember something? Yes, a little bit. We never figured out what happened, about why Sieg no longer responds. But in that final round, you said he came back? Geez, he just does whatever he wants. I may have been imagining everything… And… And? If Sieg came back, I'd just end up depending on him. I think that's why G-kun chose to leave. To help you mature... That sounds like something Sieg would do. That's why I'll become even stronger and responsible, then I'll try calling him again! Good idea! Yuka... I don't know you may become stronger, but I'm not sure about that responsible part. What, how come!? You've got a point. Yeah. Reina-chan, even Nina-chan! Our coach is at the school! We shouldn’t keep them waiting. You're right, let's head back. G-kun, please continue to watch over me! Yuka!
