Episode 5-73: Pomefiore Finale!

Coliseum – Special Stage
Vil Vil	……What? What do you mean by I should curse you…?
Rook Rook	Very well… Look.
Vil Vil	…………………… (sighs)…
Kalim Kalim	AHHHHHH!! VIL!! HANG IN THERE!!
Deuce Deuce	P-please don’t force yourself! Here, lean on my shoulder!
Ace Ace	Rook-senpai!! Why did you vote for Royal Sword Academy!?
Epel Epel	Wha—I can’t believe ya! ‘ow could ya do that to us!?
Rook Rook	I have mentioned it, haven’t I? I could not lie to my own heart. Neige-kun sang and dance on stage with full trust in himself and in his friends. The moment I saw them perform, all I could think of was how strong they were. Truly, the most beautiful in the world, you see…
Vil Vil	That’s…
Rook Rook	Vil, you should trust in your own power the most. Your strictness with yourself as you strive to defeat your rival is a beautiful sight. However… As long as you do not believe in yourself… No matter how many people in the world vote for you, you will never truly feel fulfilled. But if one day, you find yourself groveling on the ground, disheveled, old, and even emaciated… As long as you believe in your heart that you are still the most beautiful in the world, then you will be capable of magic so legendary that the world will not cease to talk about it. The strength to believe in yourself, the strength to be proud of yourself is the most beautiful power there are. King of Poisons, our beautiful Vil. Please believe in yourself more than anyone. Beauty will always be with you. As I see, you are your most beautiful now!
Vil Vil	………………
Neige (off-screen) Neige (off-screen)	Vii~!!
(footsteps)
Vil Vil	Neige…?
Neige Neige	This is my first time seeing you cry off-stage…
Vil Vil	I’m so sorry for showing you something unsightly. I really can’t win against you, can I?
Neige Neige	Win…? That might be what the numbers declared, but… Your performance was amazing, and it’s something only you are capable of. We did win the competition, but… You are the most deserving to the people who voted for you.
Vil Vil	Neige…
Neige Neige	So, you know? Give me a smile, Vii~
Rook Rook	(chuckles) It is as Snow White says. A smile suits you more, Vil. Here, please take my handkerchief.
Vil Vil	… Thank you.
Neige Neige	Oh, you’re Rook-kun, aren’t you? You called me out to the stage earlier.
Rook Rook	Indeed, I am so sorry for the sudden trouble.
Neige Neige	Rook-kun… You’re R, aren’t you? I’ve seen you attend my handshake events, and you’ve even sent me fan letters, too.
All	WHAT!?
Vil Vil	Handshake events!?
Epel Epel	Fan letters!?
Rook Rook	What…? How did you know…?
Neige Neige	There was only one person who graciously calls me “Snow White,” after all. I realized it when you called for me earlier. I didn’t expect that the person who would buy all my bromides and attend all my fan events would be a boy. I’m pleasantly surprised~
Deuce Deuce	Eh…? Hunt-senpai is a Neige’s fan…!?
Ace Ace	And buying all the bromides, too… That’s a hardcore stan, dude…!
Jamil Jamil	…! That thick album that he brought with him during the training camp was…
Flashback Sequence

Vil Vil	Lastly, Rook. I trust you the most out of these people, but what exactly were you planning by bringing such a thick album?
Rook Rook	Haha, it is but a record of my life’s work. I always carry it around with me, you see? It is very private, so I would be very embarrassed if you open it here…
Vil Vil	How rude. I have no plans on invading other people’s privacy, don’t worry.
Flashback Sequence - END

Jamil Jamil	Don’t tell me… That album was filled with Neige’s bromides?
All	WHAAAAAAATTT!?
Kalim Kalim	Heh~ I’m so glad you got to meet him in person, Rook! Go ask him for a handshake to celebrate~!
Rook Rook	Y-yes, you’re right… ………………
Epel Epel	Rook-san’s all quiet now…
Vil Vil	He might be feeling awkward.
Rook Rook	……………… (sniffs)
Vil Vil	H-he’s crying…!
Rook Rook	Snow White… This is my first time introducing myself, but… I am Rook Hunt, Member #0000002 of your fanclub, Eternal Snow.
Deuce Deuce	He’s even in the fanclub!?
Ace Ace	And number 2!?
Rook Rook	I was captivated by your beauty and it is all thanks to you that I could live my life filled with hope. I am very honored to talk with you in person today. Thank you very much!
Neige Neige	You were so different from when you attend handshake events, so I’m sorry for not recognizing you earlier. Thank you very much for always supporting me!
Rook Rook	I will send you another letter after all this is over.
Neige Neige	(chuckles) Please write your name properly instead of an initial this time~
Jamil Jamil	How interesting… I see now why Neige LeBlanche is loved by people of all ages. Not only is he talented, but he is very compassionate. That is strength indeed.
Ace Ace	Man… I feel like it’s all ‘cause of Rook-senpai’s reaction, but…
Vil Vil	…… (sighs) What a cruel man you are. That was some betrayal, I must say.
Rook Rook	(sniffs)… Me voting for Royal Sword Academy is not because I am Neige’s fan… I simply…
Vil Vil	Stop, I know full well you are not as shallow as that. Do not take me for granted. …We have been friends for two years, but I never realized you were his fan. What a deceitful man, truly. Wipe those tears away now. Here’s your handkerchief back.
Rook Rook	Thank you, King of Poisons… (sniffling)
Neige Neige	(chuckles) Vii, I’m glad to see you smiling again! Let’s sing together! I’m sure everyone will smile more if we sing together~!
Vil Vil	What?
Neige Neige	Come on, let’s go~!
Vil Vil	W-wait, Neige!
Audience A	Look! Neige and Vil are holding hands~!
Audience C	The world’s two top stars are celebrating each other’s achievements…! What a wonderful sight to behold!
(crowd cheering)
Neige Neige	Let’s sing together, too, Night Raven College~!
All	Eh…? WH-WHAT~~!!??
Neige Neige	Here we go~! Ready, and—
(Everyone starts singing~!)
Neige Neige	Thank you~!
(crowd cheering)
Neige Neige	Thank you very much, everyone~! Join me, Vii~!
Vil Vil	(chuckles) Until we meet again!
Kalim Kalim	I’m so glad they’re friends now, too!
Rook Rook	What a beautiful sight… Beautiful! 100 points…!
Epel Epel	V-Vil-san’s amazing…
Jamil Jamil	Being able to show such an award-winning smile while singing next to his rival… As expected from a professional.
Vil Vil	………… AH~~~~~~!! SOMEONE PLEASE HOLD ME BACK THIS INSTANT!!
