- Kid A: Go for it, Kamen Blossom~!
- Kid B: You can't lose to KariKalin~!
- Yuna: Thanks kids! Now I'm full of power!
- Karin: Don't be impudent! Kamen Blossom! Let's end this right here!
- Yuna: My thoughts exactly! Monster KariKalin!
- Yuna: Rohhhhh!!
- Yuna: (...It'll be fine. We practiced so much. I can do this!)
- Togo: Now, good boys and girls! Let's join Kamen Blossom and yell out "FULL BLOOM KICK" together! ...Ready!
- Yuna&Kids: FULL BLOOM... KIIIIICK!!
- One Week Earlier...
- Yuna: A shopping district hero show?
- Fu: YES! You've heard of the local hero "Kamen Blossom!" that the guys at the shopping district came up with, right?
- Yuna: Yeah! I saw it so many times since I was little!
- Togo: So it's still going on, huh.
- Karin: Does that have something to do with our latest request?
- Fu: Actually, the suit actors had some schedule flubs, so they can't make a show.
- Itsuki: Onee-chan, it can't be...
- Fu: Oh yes it can! It'd be a waste to cancel an event, so we're gonna stand in for them!
- Yuna: Ehhh!! That's amazing, isn't it!?
- Fu: Right!? It's a hero show, so it's perfect for us as the hero club, right!? I gave them the YES WE'LL DO IT on the spot!
- Yuna: Way to go, Fu-sempai!
- Karin: You always take the crazy requests, don't you...
- Togo: That's the reason Fu-sempai's the president of the Hero Club.
- Itsuki: Are we going to become heroes to do the hero show?
- Fu: Eh? Ah! Wow, I never even thought about that!
- Karin: What are you saying!? If it's just the clothes, sure it might pass of as just cosplay, but there's no way we can show off any motions! The Taisha wouldn't keep quiet about it!
- Fu: Yeah, yeah, no need to get all burnt up about it, Karin-san. It was obviously just a joke, okay?
- Karin: Wha...! ...You never sound like you're joking.
- Yuna: So that means we're gonna wear the hero suit and act in front of children, right!?
- Fu: Exactly! And of course, it's not just a hero suit, but we've gotta wear a villain suit.
- Togo: Are the suits already prepared?
- Fu: Yeah. The shopping district people say they'll handle the size adjustments. But...
- Itsuki: But...?
- Fu: They haven't decided on a story. They said anything will be fine as long as it uses the theme of "our hero fights to protect the shopping district".
- Karin: What's up with that? The left the most important part ambiguous.
- Itsuki: I heard that they've been doing it improv all this time...
- Togo: That could be one of the defining traits of "Kamen Blossom".
- Yuna: Now that you mention it, I feel like Kamen Blossom's backstory got changed last time around...
- Karin: Th-that's kinda bad...
- Togo: But that means we're free to make up our own original story.
- Fu: Well, when you put it like that, I guess you're right. So that said, let's all think of a story together!
- Itsuki: Onee-chan, when is the hero show?
- Fu: Hm? Sunday next week.
- Yuna&Togo&Itsuki&Karin: Next week!?
- Fu: So at the very least, we need to decide the story and staffing today. Tomorrow we start practicing for the real deal!
- Karin: This president's so willy-nilly...
- Fu: Let's start with the story. Anyone with ideas, feel free to begin.
- Karin: Kamen Blossom's a hero, it's not like all heroes become that way so suddenly like we did. So why don't we go with an origin story?
- Fu: "Kamen Blossom Begins" huh... Sounds like you could make an entire trilogy off of that.
- Karin: The lone knight who doesn't mind playing the villain if it means protecting the shopping district: Kamen Blossom... Sounds great!
- Yuna: A dark hero, huh?
- Fu: Hmm... sounds interesting, but the target audience is primarily neighborhood kids, so... Itsuki, you got anything?
- Itsuki: Eh? U-umm... I think I'd like to see a romance between Kamen Blossom and the heroine...
- Yuna: Oh! A hero who has to ponder over protecting their lover or their shopping district, huh?
- Fu: No, like I said our audience is children, so... how about you, Togo?
- Togo: Let's see... A hero who puts the fate of the country on the line in a preemptive strike against the beastmen menace...
- Fu: Mm... we still can't come up with anything... You got anything, Yuna?
- Togo: I'll pretend she just didn't hear me...
- Yuna: Why don't we just go with a normal hero story? A hero of justice shows up and defeats a bad guy.
- Fu: Yeah, that's it! There was no need to brood over it in the first place!
- Togo: We just need to show the kids the same sort of things we've already been doing, huh?
- Itsuki: I-I think that might be what the children actually do want to see.
- Karin: Though obviously we can't show them a real live Vertex.
- Yuna: Looks like we've got an idea!
- Togo: Next we need to get the casting down.
- Fu: Yeah. Actually they've only got a Kamen Blossom suit and a villain monster suit. So only two people need to be suit actors.
- Itsuki: Then that leaves is backstage staff, right?
- Fu: I'll do all the supervising. So can you take care of the sound and stuff, Itsuki?
- Itsuki: Sound... okay, I'll try!
- Fu: Can you do the narration, Togo?
- Togo: So I... get to tell a hero's ballad...? I'm not sure if I can set the right tone for that, though...
- Fu: It's okay. I'll write the script. So I'll make sure it's easy for you to read.
- Togo: Then that's a relief.
- Fu: I guess the story should be about 30 minutes long. So that leaves...
- Karin: W-wait... you don't mean you want me to play the hero, do you? I don't want to! ...But... if you insist...
- Fu: Yuna will be Kamen Blossom and Karin will be the evil monster KariKalin.
- Karin: ...wait, the monster!?
- Yuna: Eh... Me? Kamen Blossom...?
- Fu: I was planning on casting you from the start.I'm sure you'll be a perfect Kamen Blossom!
- Yuna: Understood... I'll do my best! You too, Karin-chan!
- Karin: Monster... KariKalin...
- Fu: Don't look so down. There's a deliberate reason I casted you as the monster, Karin.
- Karin: Eh...?
- Fu: The monster suit is heavier and less mobile suit than Blossom's. So it needs a more athletic suit actor.
- Karin: And... that's why you chose me...?
- Fu: Yup! It just had to be you, the most athletic in the hero club! I couldn't do it, but I'm sure you can...!
- Karin: ...w-well I guess there's no helping it if that's the case! I'll play a perfect villain role then!
- Togo: I'll do other backstage work besides narration. I'll help you guys out in practice too.
- Itsuki: I'll help too!
- Yuna: Okay, let's do a good job, Togo-san! Itsuki-chan!
- Fu: Okay! So let's begin preparations for the big performance!
- Yuna&Togo&Itsuki: Okay!
- Karin: ...Does it have to be the monster KariKalin...
- Yuna: FULL BLOOM... KIIICK... wawah!
- Togo: Yuna-chan! Are you okay?
- Yuna: Hahah... Yeah, I'm fine. But man... this finisher's hard to pull off.
- Karin: A cartwheel into a backflip... into a dropkick. That's a pretty hard finisher there. That would seriously defeat anything if it landed properly.
- Itsuki: This finisher is apparently the only long-held tradition that we mustn't change.
- Togo: Yuna-chan, want to take a little break?
- Yuna: No, I want to pull it off at least once first.
- Togo: Yuna-chan...
- Karin: If it seems to hard, I can trade with you.
- Yuna: Thanks, Karin-chan. But I'm fine. I'll definitely make it before the big performance.
- Fu: Hey!
- Itsuki: Ah, Onee-chan.
- Fu: I finished the script. Togo's narration is in there too, so give it a read.
- Togo: F-Fu-sempai... this... this tone of narration...
- Fu: Mmm, sorry, Togo! But I think this is what hero show narration sounds like!
- Itsuki: Umm... "Hi! How are you kids doing?" "I can't heaaar you? Hi kids! How are you doing!" Y-you want Togo-sempai to say these things...?
- Yuna: Ah... Yeah, I do think that's what it's supposed to sound like...
- Karin: Are you telling Togo... to die of indignation!?
- Togo: ...
- Yuna: Togo-san...
- Togo: ...(Yuna-chan's doing her best... so I will too...!)
- Yuna: ...Togo-san?
- Togo: ...Understood. Please let me do this.
- Fu: Yeah! Thank you, Togo!
- Itsuki: Togo-sempai... you're amazing...
- Karin: Togo... you'd go that far...
- Togo: It's okay. I'll do my best. U-until I can pull it off for the big performance...!
- Togo-san... Yeah! Let's do our best together!
- Karin: I'll support you for the backflip part. So try it once more.
- Yuna: Thank you too, Karin-chan! Okay, let's get to practice again!
- Fu: How beautiful... This! This is what I wanted to see...!
- Itsuki: Onee-chan... don't tell me you deliberately made such a crazy script to build club unity...?
- Fu: Eh? ...Ah, y-yeah, exactly! My heart was bursting in pain as I wrote it... but it looks like it paid off!
- Itsuki: Way to go, Onee-chan...!
- Fu: (I can't say it... I can't say I had a blast writing it...)
- And finally came the day of the big performance...
- Karin: Fuhaha! What's wrong, Kamen Blossom!? Is that all you've got!?
- Yuna: Ghh....! I-if things keep up like this...!
- Kid A: Stop it! KariKalin!
- Kid B: No bullying Kamen Blossom~!
- Togo: Kamen Blossom will be in danger at this rate! Are you ready, good boys and girls!? Cheer for Kamen Blossom! For victory! And...
- Togo: For our nation!!
- Fu: T-Togo... she's so excited she started ad libbing...
- Itsuki: But it's amazing how even Togo-sempai got all her parts right...
- Fu: Oh! Itsuki, time for the comeback music, stat!
- Itsuki: Ah! Yeah!
- Togo: Go for it! Kamen Blossom! Now, boys and girls! All together now!
- Kid A: Go for it, Kamen Blossom~!
- Kid B: You can't lose to KariKalin~!
- Yuna: Thanks kids! Now I'm full of power!
- Karin: Don't be impudent! Kamen Blossom! Let's end this right here!
- Yuna: My thoughts exactly! Monster KariKalin!
- Yuna: Rohhhhh!!
- Togo: Now, good boys and girls! Let's join Kamen Blossom and yell out "FULL BLOOM KICK" together! ...Ready!
- Yuna&Kids: FULL BLOOM... KIIIIICK!!
- Karin: Gyahhh! Now I'm Kari-careening to destruction!!
- Yuna: Thanks! Thanks everyone!
- Kid A: Yay! Kamen Blossom!
- Fu: Woaah! Kamen Blossom!
- Itsuki: Y-you too, Onee-chan...?
- A few days later...
- Fu: Good work, guys!
- Itsuki: O-Onee-chan... wait, what's with that cardboard box!?
- Fu: Heheh! It's from the guys at the shopping district. Looks like our hero show was super popular with the kids. Look how many fan letters we got!
- Togo: Are all of these addressed to Kamen Blossom...? That's amazing, Yuna-chan.
- Yuna: No, we all worked hard together, so it's thanks to everyone's work!
- Itsuki: Ah, there are some addressed to you too, Togo-sempai!
- Togo: Eh...
- Yuna: Way to go, Togo-san!
- Karin: A-are there any addressed to me?
- Fu: No, who would write to a monster...?
- Karin: Y-you're right...
- Itsuki: ...Ah, there is! There is one!
- Karin: For real!? Heheh... I see... I guess some people out there appreciate the wonder of the monster's action parts!
- Itsuki: Huh? Isn't this handwriting... Yuna-sa...
- Togo: Shh. Itsuki-chan. It's not good to let out a truth like that.
- ItsukI: Ah... y-yeah!
- Karin: Alright, Yuna, time for a Blossom-Monster review meeting!
- Yuna: Okay! Let's do it, Karin-chan!
- Togo: ...Heheh... That's just like you, Yuna-chan.
