Cone 5: Roselia's Competition

Cone 5: Roselia's Competition

Today was the day of Roselia's competition that the girls had prepared for.

"Alright everyone, we need to perform to the best of our ability in order to have the perfect performance!" Yukina instructed, and look out towards the crowd from behind the curtain.

As the girls went out on stage, Yukina smiled.

"I am Yukina Minato, vocalist for Roselia, and we will be performing three songs. The first one will be. . . Legendary."

"Sendōsha to natte maiagare
Kirameki no Legendary

Osoi kuru kensō ni me wo fuseru hi mo aru wa

Sendōsha to natte watare sekai
Anata to tomo ni tobitatsu yo
Kokorozashi ga yami wo saite
Shōri e no michi wo terasu wa
Kizuna iro ga tsukuru musubi de kagayaita Legendary."

As the lights went up, Yukina began to announce the next song for the band to perform.

"LOUDER"

"Uragiri wa kurai mama fall down
Kuzure yuku sekai wa
Kokoro hiki hagashite netsu wo ushinatta
Imada ni yowasa nijimu on mind
Mijukusa wo kakaete
Utau shikaku nante nai to se wo mukete

Iroaseta hitomi hi wo tsuketa
Anata no kotoba

Louder...!
You're my everything (You're my everything)
Kagayaki afure yuku anata no oto wa
Watashi no oto de try to... tsutaetai no
I'm movin' on with you (movin' on with you)
Todoketai yo subete
Anata ga ita kara watashi ga ita ndayo
No more need to cry kitto

Morosa wa kudakeba ī so long
Setsuna ni osanasa wo tsurete
Kanaete miseru kara
[All] I don't look back
Erabu no wa hitsuzen de all time
Hiritsuita suhada mo misete?
Hajiru koto wa nai no
Itsumademo

Ā... mayoi nante nai wa
Okusanai yo

Kotoba no hitotsu mo
To listen...

Umareochita basho de unmei wo togeru made
Kono mama zutto keep on running
Nothing's gonna change my world (gonna change my world)
Seijaku ni wa so good-bye
Motto hageshiku yurase, okose namikaze
Hajimete no koe de

Only one... uta wo hodokeba
Anogoro no watashi ga ite
Anogoro no anata ga warau yo
I renew one's hopes tada
Tsuyoku (tsuyoku)

Sing for...

Louder...!

Todoketai yo subete
Anata ga ita kara watashi ga ita ndayo
No more need to cry kitto

Feel alive..."

And finally, it was the show stopper. . .

"Neo-Aspect!"

"Utsukushiki inochi no enrei
Tsumugareta shirabe umare yuku michi
Believe me this is the right way.

Akari wa doko e kieta? Taguri yoseru yō ni

Wo wo wow... "

After that, the lights went dim, and the Roselia girls went into the dressing room in order to wait for their result. 

"Congratulations! Every single one of you did well!" Yukina said with a smile. Ako looked over to Rinko and she was smiling happily.

Ako loved to see Rinko smile.

At the end of the competition, the girls found out that they had gotten first place.

I know this isn't the greatest chapter, but once you see the next one, you'd understand why I did this.
