[Dorothy & Reona are part of a crowd, looking at a piece of WITH PR material. Reona looks excited. Dorothy, not so much.]

Reona: A little bit.
[Exposition textbox: Dorothy & Reona are twin idols from the girls' PriPara.]

[Dorothy, with a lightbulb: Ding!]
Dorothy: [tee-hee-hee] I thought of something good! [Better contact Mahou-chan right away!]

WITH: A concert showdown?!
Meganii: Yes. A letter of challenge has arrived from someone from the girls' PriPara...
Shogo: Girls?
Koyoi: Can they come to DanPri?
Meganii: They seem to have forced their way in high-handedly....I'm worried about the system....
[Expository asterisk: DanPri forbids girls]
Koyoi: But it seems more exciting that way, doesn't it.
Asahi: Whooaa, that's the baddest! Sounds super fun!
Shogo: We'll show 'em how great WITH is!!
[Meganii, panicking to himself: But, the system~...]

Boy #2: What?! Girls?! I'm totally not interested.
Boy #3: We come here 'cuz we wanna see fired-up concerts!
[The lights go out.]
Hibiki, shadowed: Gentlemen, we've kept you waiting.
Crowd: Who's that? Such a cool voice...

Dorothy: [tee hee hee] Look, look, my plan was a big success! If it's us and Mahou-chan, we can even beat WITH!! [We're the top-class ones around here!]
Reona: Dorothy, you're all over the place.
[Arrow pointing to Hibiki: Boyish, but a girl]
Hibiki: [Sigh...] To think that I'd be caught up in something like this...
[Expository textbox: Shikyoin Hibiki, called "Mahou-chan"]
Hibiki: But - because I am, we'll triumph!!
Dorothy & Reona: Of course!
