(We don't have much time left until the Sports Festival. Today will be my only chance to tell them about my idea.)
Rui
(Hehe...
I made my decision to tell them, but I keep looking for reasons to postpone this discussion.)

(I never thought that I'd be this apprehensive. This thing really has an annoying hold over me...)
Mizuki
Alright, the Sports Festival's just around the corner! Time to get in another good practice for the cheering competition... Huh?

And what's with the face?
Does what you wanted to say yesterday have anything to do with it...?

I'm afraid that saying what I want to do will drive everyone over to the other side again.
Mizuki
During the School Festival, you made me believe that you aren't stuck on the rooftop anymore. You can go to the other side...

Alright, we're doing full runs from the top pretty well now! All that's left is to keep practicing and polishing it up!
Blue Squad Members
The part where we stand and turn is still giving me some trouble, so I'd like to work on that.
Blue Squad Members
Same. Particularly when the captain and I have to cross swords...

Ah, Kamishiro, you're here.
Is there something you'd like to say?

Rui
Currently, the blue fire is our central motif where it starts by burning quietly and ends up becoming a roaring flame. The “calm” before the “storm” if you will...
Rui
However, the “calm” takes up far too much time as it stands. I fear that our audience will quickly lose interest if we're not careful.
Rui
My new idea would help make our opening scene much more explosive. By including it, I'm sure our audience will stay immersed in the world of the cheering competition until the end.

Blue Squad Members
K-Kamishiro, we get what you want to do, but we'd need a lot of time to practice it...
Rui
To get it down perfectly, we'd be cutting it very close... Just in time for the day of, I suspect.
Blue Squad Members
But...
It's already just around the corner...

Blue Squad Members
And this plan... You seriously think we can do this?
Rui
Naturally, I'll do everything I can to ensure your safety. I promise that none of you will get hurt.
Blue Squad Members
If we do somehow manage to pull off Kamishiro's idea, we'd look so awesome. We should be fine as long as we use some of those bungee cords as lifelines.
Blue Squad Members
Still, do we really have to go that far...?
Blue Squad Members
Right. On top of the Sports Festival being right around the corner, we should probably avoid doing anything dangerous. Things the way they are seem fine, you know?
Blue Squad Captain
Wait.
Blue Squad Captain
Kamishiro, you're certain that your idea will make our performance for the cheering competition just that much better?
Blue Squad Captain
As our trusted director, even if we do end up cutting it extremely close, you believe this will lead us to putting on the best performance we possibly can?
Blue Squad Captain
Understood.
Then, there's no reason not to.
Am I right...?

B-But...
Blue Squad Members
This is gonna take some courage to pull off, but I agree that this is probably gonna make the crowd go absolutely wild.
Blue Squad Members
Our current ideas are pretty good too. Throwing in something like this is bound to make us look that much better, you know...?
Blue Squad Members
This could be cheering competition history in the making...
Blue Squad Members
Let's do it, you guys!
Everything we have until the day of!

Right. We don't have much time left.
Buck up, Kamishiro! We can't do this without your directions...!
