Shirabe POV
Hayami: "They're changing goalkeeprs."
Shinsuke: "I wonder if the one on reserve is even stronger."
Kakuma: The match resumes!
Tenma used the bumper to steal the ball from Gen'ei and passed it to Shindou.
Shindou: "Here's our chance."
Hakono: "Come! Gambler Diceman!"
Shindou: "Instrumentalist Maestro! Harmonics!"
Hakono: "Lucky Dice!"
Kakuma: Goalkeeper Hakono blocks the shoot!
Hakono kicked the ball to a bumper and it did a back spin to Mahoro.
Kakuma: Mahoro charges for Raimon's goal! Is he after Amagi?
Amagi: "Viva! The Great Wall of China!"
But it passed through again.
Sangoku: "This time...! Fence of Gaia! ...!"
Kakuma: It's in! Gen'ei Academy takes the lead! The Raimon Eleven show strong determination even with their one-point loss! Will they be able to catch up?
Tenma: "Captain!"
Shindou: "Kageyama!"
Hakono: "His shoot can get past the flippers! Stop him!"
Kakuma: Oh! That was a miskick!
But when the flipper moved...
Nishiki: "Thanks, Kageyama! Here it comes! Denrai Houtou!"
Hakono: "What? Ugh!"
Kakuma: Goal! Nishiki's Denrai Houtou makes it in! Raimon ties the score!
Sangoku: "Coach!"
Hm?
Kidou: "Nishizono, enter as goalkeeper."
Nishizono: "...Eh?! Me?!"
Miria: "Ah... was it because of what he did during our match Kidokawa?"
I see...
Kakuma: Raimon has changed their goalkeeper! They've turned the position over to defender Nishizono!
Immediately Gen'ei started attacking but Nishizono was able to block every shot.
Kobato: "I've got it! Huh?"
Kakuma: Kariya makes a last-second trap!
Kariya: "You're a goalkeeper! You can use your hands, you know!"
Shinsuke: "Ah, right...!"
"Hehe..."
Miria: "Shinsuke-kun and Tenma-kun are two peas in a pod..."
Shindou: "Aoyama! Tenma!"
Tenma: "Okay!"
Shindou: "Over here!"
Tenma: "Captain!"
Shindou: "Tsurugi!"
Tsurugi: "Sword Saint Lancelot!"
Hakono: "Come out! Gambler Diceman!"
Tsurugi: "Lost Angel!"
Hakono: "Lucky Dice! ...Ugh!"
Kakuma: Goal! Tsurugi makes it in! Raimon finally takes the lead! Time's running out!
When Mahoro had the ball...
"Amagi-senpai and Mahoro-san... what are they fighting about?"
Miria: "I'm not sure..."
We watched as the two fought against each other then...
Mahoro: "Phantom Shot!"
"Oh no..."
Miria: "That shot again...!"
Amagi: "It's because we have accepted reality that we can do it! Atlantis Wall!"
Everyone: !
Tenma: "That's a..."
Hikaru: "A new hissatsu technique!"
Kakuma: Amagi has managed to block the supposedly impossible-to-defend Phantom Shot! The match is over! Raimon wins!
Miria: "Shirabe-chan...!"
"Yeah..."
*Later at home*
Kirara: "So you guys won again."
*sigh* "Yeah... and now I have to deal with that upcoming school festival too..."
Kirara: "School festival?"
"Yeah, did I forget to tell you about..."
Kirara: "I'm coming!"
"...Kiri-chan. No."
Kirara: "Why not?!"
"What if you blow your cover? And mine too?"
Kirara: "That's why...! I'll wear this!"
Kirara took out a pair of green glasses.
"...Kiri-chan that's not going to work."
Kirara: "You never know, Shirabe! Come on please!"
*sigh* "Fine but under one condition."
Kirara: "And that is...?"
"I'm wearing them too."
*Silence*
Kirara: "Shirabe you're the best!!"
*Timeskip to the school festival*
Kirara: "Hm... for a school festival, the food they have here is good."
"Why are you eating so much?"
Kirara: "I can't help it if I'm hungry!"
"Well I'm glad no one's noticed us yet."
Kirara: "So, why are you dealing with the school festival anyway?"
"Well... the music club promised they'd stop bothering me if I participate in the Karaoke Contest."
Kirara: "What~ that's even better Shirabe! We finally get a chance to sing together!"
"Wha- together?! That'll definitely-"
Kirara: "Get us caught yeah yeah. Hey but as long as the Raimon team doesn't see us it's fine, right?"
"But..."
Kirara: "Oh, what's that?!"
"Huh? Wait Kiri-chan."
But when I turn she was no where in sight.
Crap.
"What on earth..."
???: "Shirabe-chan?"
"Ah!"
I quickly turned around to see Miria.
"M-Miria-san..."
Miria: "Hi... why are you wearing glasses?"
"Ah, I'm helping out in one of the booths ahaha... oh, Tsurugi-san you're here too?"
Tsurugi: "Hmph."
Miria: "Come on don't say that Tsurugi. Festivals are fun like when we went to the Tanabata one remember?"
Tsurugi shrugged. That's when I thought for a moment.
"...Are you two on a date?"
Tsurugi and Miria: !
Miria: "N-No we're not!"
Tsurugi: "W-What makes you think that?!"
The two of them spoke at the same time and they looked at each other then quickly looked away.
Hehe. These two...
"Well okay, if you say so. I have to go though... see you later Miria-san."
Miria: "O-Okay..."
I quickly look around.
"Well somehow I got to avoid Miria-san and Tsurugi-san... now then. Kiri-chan where did you go?"
Currently I was on the top of the hill and that's when I spotted her.
"Kiri-chan!"
Kirara: "Oh? There you are, Shirabe."
"Don't there you are me! I was looking for you!"
Kirara: "Sorry sorry, I got distracted by the food. I think I saw Ten-Ten and a few others coming so I hid here. So about that Karaoke Contest. I was thinking we could both enter it together!"
"Like I said... we'll both reveal ourselves."
Kirara: "Hey, have you ever heard of soccer players going to a Karaoke Contest? I haven't! So why not? Plus I've gotten tired of all this "spy" mission."
"But still..."
Kirara: "Come on! I'll treat you to some more food."
"You know that won't help." *pout*
Kirara took my hand and started dragging me somewhere.
"Kiri-chan...!"
Shindou POV
I was with Tenma, Shinsuke, Aoi, Midori, Akane, Kirino, and Kurama at the festival. We were trying out all the foods.
Shinsuke: "This is good too!"
Aoi: "It really is! Mm!"
As I smiled I heard some footsteps then I turned around.
"...Shirabe-san?"
I thought I saw Shirabe pass by because I saw her going somewhere.
"Ah wait, didn't she said she was going to do the Karaoke Contest because of the Music Club?"
Kirino: "Shindou? What's wrong?"
"Well..."
???: "Shindou-san!"
"Hm? Ah you're..."
Music Club Member: "Thank you so much!"
"Huh? For what?"
Music Club Member: "For changing Saegusa-san's mind of course!"
Music Club Member: "We thought she wasn't going to enter the karaoke contest but luckily she changed her mind! It's because of you isn't it? Thank you so much!"
"Shirabe-san...?"
Music Club Member: "Anyway we got to go, we don't want to miss it!"
Kirino: "Shindou..."
I look down.
"I never changed her mind...?"
Akane: "Shin-sama what's wrong?"
"Hey everyone."
Everyone turned to me.
"Do you mind if we check something out?"
3rd POV
As Shindou and the others entered the dark contest hall they ran into someone...
Miria: "Everyone...!"
Tenma: "Miria! Tsurugi!"
Shinsuke: "Why are you guys here?"
Miria: "Well I thought it'd be nice to listen to the singers so I came... Tsurugi came along with me so..."
Tsurugi: "Why are you guys here?"
Tenma: "Well..."
Everyone looked to Shindou.
Shindou: "...Let's just sit down for now."
As everyone sat down soon enough the show was about to start.
Announcer: Well then everyone, thank you for your patience! The Karaoke Contest will begin! Now let's have our first contestants!
Then when the black curtains moved away.
Everyone: !
Kurama: "That's...!"
Tenma: "Kirara-san...?"
Everyone went silent.
Miria: "Shirabe-chan... what are you..."
While on stage Shirabe look towards Kirara.
Shirabe: "Kiri-chan, are you sure this was a good idea? I know our glasses wouldn't have done much but..."
Kirara: "It's fine... I didn't tell you this but I actually wanted to do this for another reason."
Shirabe: "Another reason?"
The two whispered as the announcer started saying random things.
Kirara: "If Raimon is here, I want to test them. Test if they'll stay by your side."
Shirabe: "But why would you..."
Kirara: "If push comes to shove... I want to trust them a little. I've seen how you've looked at them."
Shirabe: "Kiri-chan..."
Announcer: "Now then why don't you tell us your names?"
Kirara: "Shirogane Kirara! Call me Kirara 'kay?"
Shirabe: "Saegusa Shirabe. 2nd year, nice to meet you."
Announcer: "Well then go ahead and give it a go! Sing your hearts out girls!"
(Now, now. I'm really sad. This is author speaking. There is no video for this song on Youtube and I was really sad... so the least I can do is write the lyrics on here. However you can listen to the song on Symphogear Wiki or Soundcloud. I recommend to listen to it on Soundcloud cause it's easier. The song is called "ORBITAL BEAT（Ver.ZABABA）" there are two versions so remember the Ver.ZABABA part pls. Also translated lyrics are from Symphogear Wiki)
