Chapter 383: Heading to the Grand Theater, What? Did Sunday Turn Coat?!

The video continues.

【Most importantly, I now stand here before you—on a narrow path, I, Silver Branch of the Pure Beauty Knights, humbly request a duel of chivalry with both of you!】

【If I am fortunate enough to prevail, I ask you to clear the path to the crown for me, and acknowledge—】

【—the Pure Beauty Goddess Idylla~ whose beauty is unmatched in all the world!】

【Both of you, accept the trial of Pure Beauty!】

Star: "What? Are we really gonna fight?"

Star: "I'll just admit right now that the Pure Beauty Goddess Idylla's beauty is unmatched in all the world—can you just let me go?"

Silver Branch: "I'm sorry, dear friend, but that violates the principles of chivalry—I cannot let you go."

Firefly: "But we… we need to seal the Star Core… it's really urgent!"

Silver Branch: "Hmm… Miss Firefly, you're right."

Silver Branch: "Saving the world aligns more closely with the ideals of Pure Beauty than a duel of chivalry."

Star: "Then why are you still blocking our way? Just get out of the way already!"

Silver Branch: "But dear friend, you've overlooked one thing."

Silver Branch: "That is, the version of me in the video does not know your purpose."

Silver Branch: "And you never explained it."

Star: "Ah… this…"

March 7th: "Hey, Star, I think you're just itching for a fight, aren't you?"

Star: "How could that be? I'm just stretching my body!"

Star: "It helps prepare for the dangers ahead, doesn't it?"

Firefly: "Hmm… you're right."

Firefly: "A proper warm-up does help with combat readiness."

Star: "Hey, then let's see if the two of us can totally beat up Silver Branch!"

The video continues.

No sooner had Silver Branch finished speaking,

than she launched an immediate attack on the two of them,

and so,

a duel of friendship began,

right then and there!

And moments later…

【Enough!】

【I now understand your true intentions… I yield!】

【Beautiful! Beautiful!】

【What an incredible duel!】

【You've shown me that to defend Idylla's name, I still have much to refine and improve…】

【What a beautiful lesson!】

【Go now, my dear friends, fair ladies—the crown of the preliminary round belongs to you…】

【I shall watch from here as you bask in the spotlight, joined by the audience in offering you the most sincere cheers and applause.】

March 7th: "Uh… was that just letting them win?"

March 7th: "She gave up so easily?"

Firefly: "I… I didn't even transform into Sam… how could we have beaten the Pure Beauty Knight so easily?"

Star: "Oh, my dear friend, you really know how to save face for us!"

Star: "In gratitude, I declare— the Pure Beauty Goddess Idylla's beauty is unmatched in all the world!! (SUPER LOUD!!)"

Silver Branch: "Thank you for your recognition, dear friend."

Silver Branch: "But I did not hold back—your unwavering conviction moved me!"

Silver Branch: "Your conviction shines as brightly as Pure Beauty itself—and it has deeply humbled me!"

Hu Tao: "I have to say, the Pure Beauty Knight really is a refined person…"

Zhong Li: "Indeed, their spotless noble character deserves praise throughout the universe."

The video continues.

【Our time is running short… Farewell, Pure Beauty Knight, may our paths cross again.】

【Then let us press on toward the finish.】

Firefly bowed farewell to Silver Branch,

then led Star toward the entrance of the finish line.

【Punica really is brimming with talent…】

【I hope we're not too late.】

As they walked, Firefly couldn't help but sigh.

Soon after, the two of them boarded the track vehicle leading to the finish,

and rode it to the final destination.

【Congratulations to Star and Firefly for winning the championship of this year's Hot Sand Festival!】

【Let's look forward to their spectacular performance at the Harmonic Ceremony!】

【Give the loudest applause to these two young and talented guests!】

After arriving at the finish line,

a grand broadcast voice began to sound,

announcing that the two of them

had won the ultimate championship of the Sizzling Sand Spectacle.

Stelle: "Yay, we're the champions!!"

Stelle: "As expected, my combo with Yingbao is the best!!!"

Firefly: "Mm... I thought for sure I'd be dragging you down."

Firefly: "Looking at it this way... I performed pretty well, right?"

Stelle: "Well? It's more than well!"

March 7th: "Oh no, you two got the championship, so now you'll both enter the Grand Theater via the Road of the Superstar."

March 7th: "Then what about Himeko-jie and my silhouettes??"

March 7th: "Don't tell me the two of us got eliminated?!"

Himeko: "Ahem... little March, I don't think it would come to that."

Welt: "......."

Welt: "If nothing unexpected happens, you may really have been eliminated."

Welt: "Because Stelle and Young Lady Firefly have already taken the championship, which means there are no more challengers afterward."

March 7th: "Ah, well... Himeko-jie and I were just participating for the fun of it, right?"

Furina: "In that case... does that mean Miss March 7th and Miss Himeko can't enter the Grand Theater?"

Hu Tao: "This is not a good situation!"

Himeko: "No matter, although little March and I didn't win the championship, the four of us are essentially one team."

Himeko: "We should be able to enter the Grand Theater together as well."

Brother Dan Heng: "Mm, that's right, this doesn't violate the rules."

Amber: "Then next is entering the Grand Theater to seal the Stellaron, right?"

Amber: "I wonder if it'll go smoothly?"

Silver Wolf: "Then it definitely... won't!"
