The Hoshinomori Summer Festival ended as a huge success.
However, they didn't want it to end like this.
Seeking new activities, the members of the Hoshi Festival executive committee
formed a new organization known as the Hoshigei event committee.
Hoshigei Event Committee
Their battle had just begun.
Ah, glory to the young artistas drawn by the Light of Arte.
Suminomiya.
I can't read this committee log at all.
What?
Halloween Party
I'd like to suggest a Halloween party for the Hoshigei event committee's first job.
I'm glad we decided on something.
We sure did have a lot of ideas, though.
Fruit Picking Maze? Game of Tag—standard rules Shops Lantern Making Pumpkin Roll Haunted House Costume Parade Play
I wanted to hold a moon viewing party.
It's already early September.
There's not nearly enough time.
In that case, why don't we do it ourselves?
That's an idea.
Rin Rin, I'd love to try your dumplings.
I don't mind dumplings.
Yeah, yeah.
Let's hold a costume contest, too.
That's a great idea.
Costumes? I'm excited.
Are you guys trying to give us more work to do?
If we're going to do all of them, we need a plan.
You're right.
And the committee has its own performance to put on.
Play
A play, uh? That's fine by me,
but can you make that happen all on your own?
Don't worry about us.
We've called in an instructor.
An instructor?
Acting major Chikamatsu Juri-san.
Since it's a request from Kohana,
I have to do everything I can.
Is everyone ready?
I'm going to train you boys real good.
Magic-Kyun Renaissance!
You Are the Prince of Destiny
It's the Hoshi Festival News.
Apparently, the executive committee is back.
We're holding a Halloween Party!!
They're holding a Halloween party next?
There are a lot of events this year.
That sounds fun.
Once upon a time,
a princess fell into a long slumber
after being cursed by an evil witch.
There was a certain prophecy concerning the princess.
A hundred years after falling asleep,
the princess' prince of destiny would arrive to save her.
As of today, exactly one hundred years have gone by.
Each believing that he is the one, six princes head for the princess.
Who will be her prince of destiny?
I based it on Sleeping Beauty.
What do you think?
I read it.
It was entertaining.
Thanks.
But why Sleeping Beauty?
Aren't pumpkins more Cinderella's thing?
Who cares about the details?
In any case, let's choose roles.
Kohana, you'll be the princess.
What?
Then, there's the prince of destiny who shares a kissing scene with the princess...
I'll play the prince.
No, I will.
No, me!
Well, it's just a pretend kiss.
Okay, let's hold an audition.
An audition?
Yep, enthusiasm isn't enough to play the starring role.
I'm not sure that's necessary.
After all, I'm going to be the prince.
What?
That's not a very funny joke.
The prince will be played by...
Me.
All of you?
Tatewaki, Anjo, Hibiki,
I like how assertive you are.
You get ten points.
The audition has already started!
The time has finally arrived.
First Prince Showdown Final!!
The magnificent and fierce battle to determine who will play the prince of destiny.
I'm your running commentator, Chikamatsu Juri.
And analyzing the audition will be Aigasaki Kohana-san.
I'll do my best.
What? A running commentator?
First up is the 200 meter dash.
The competitors are wearing nervous expressions.
Only one of them will be crowned the winner.
Who among them will win the starring role?
On your marks.
Get set...
What's this? Tatewaki and Hibiki are off to a good start.
I won't lose to you, Hibiki.
Neither will I.
It's a clash of wills.
You can do it! You can do it!
Neither one is giving any ground.
They're entering the straight.
They both look desperate.
I can't look away.
I will...
Win!
I don't believe it.
Ichijoji finishes first.
What a strategist.
He saved his energy until the very end.
Juri-chan, your commentary was amazing.
Here come the scores.
Tsukushi Suminomiya Anjo Hibiki Tatewaki Ichijoji
What's going on?
How did Anjo-senpai and Suminomiya-senpai score ten points each?
I told you, you're auditioning to play a prince.
Anjo-senpai's elegant steps.
Suminomiya's beautiful form.
Their total lack of interest in the competition.
They truly are princes.
Yeah.
What kind of reasoning is that?!
This should be a serious competition!
Shut up already.
I am taking this seriously.
And can you really claim you gave everything you had?
Oh, right. Sorry.
How unsightly.
You two should just quit.
You only scored one point!
I was just watching.
Next time I won't lose.
Really? Let's see you do it, then.
This is a rather interesting development.
Let's move on to the next event.
Next up is a series of one-on-one battles.
No matter the adverse circumstances,
in the end, you must seize victory.
That is how a prince should be.
You can do it, everyone.
I thought winning didn't matter.
Tatewaki and Tsukushi will be competing in a penalty shootout.
Rintaro, have you fixed your tell?
What are you talking about?
You mean you don't know?
Rintaro, you can tell based on your form
whether you're going to shoot right or left.
What?
I noticed it while watching you play a game in middle school.
Seriously?
This isn't good. Which way should I go?
Right or left?
I know!
If he can predict if I'm kicking right or left,
I'll go straight down the middle!
So simpleminded.
Tsukushi stopped the ball!
Did Tatewaki completely play into his hands?
Rintaro, it's a good thing you're so easy to read.
Damn it!
Next up are Anjo-senpai and Hibiki.
They'll be competing in an archery contest.
It suddenly got quiet.
All right, a hit.
Impressive, Anjo-senpai—
What?
I achieved a sexy victory.
You're taking your clothes off again!
Too sexy! Minus ten points!
What? Why?
Just one side would've been enough.
One side's okay?
Next up are Ichijoji and Suminomiya.
They're old rivals both considered top candidates for Artista Prince.
This will surely be a fierce battle.
They're both so amazing.
Why are they playing in robes?
It's been a while since we last played together.
Not since grade school.
Our record is 99-99.
Whoever wins next will reach 100!
The audition is important, too!
But...
This is a battle...
I cannot lose!
Yes.
Ichijoji wins.
The heated play was truly appropriate for such a decisive match.
They were only playing to one point?
Good game. Let's play again sometime.
Yeah.
Ichijoji and Suminomiya.
One thousand points!
That's way too many.
Next up is a contest of intelligence.
Buzz in first to answer.
Here's your question.
Question How do you read these kanji?
Hijiki
How do you read these kanji?
Me.
Hibiki.
Shikaona.
Wrong.
Suminomiya.
Hijiki.
Way to go, Suminomiya.
Kanji are his specialty.
Next question. Once—
The island of Mauritius.
What?
How did you figure that out?
Next question. It—
The Ho-o-do.
Correct.
Next ques—
1984.
Correct.
Amazing.
Is this really intelligence?
Let's keep going.
A prince must always possess the following qualities.
He must never shy away from danger.
He must rush to all places.
He must gracefully ride white horses.
At times heroic.
Other times delicate.
Never forgetting kindness.
That's what it means to truly be a prince.
Tsukushi Suminomiya Anjo Hibiki Tatewaki Ichijoji
I am... the prince.
No, I am.
No, me.
Now for the second half of the competition.
Aigasaki Kohana-san has provided the analysis so far.
Thank you.
I don't get a thank you?
Next is the acting competition you've all been waiting for.
You'll each perform the kissing scene with the princess.
For you.
Magic.
Kyun.
Magic-Kyun.
Renaissance.
Here.
Thank you.
Is this cup your newest work?
Yeah, I was inspired to make something.
It's wonderful.
I still have a lot to learn.
It's not worthy of any praise.
I wouldn't say that.
It's warm.
Yeah.
The contest will now begin.
You'll be performing the scene in which the prince wakes the princess.
These stuffed animals will represent the princess.
Ignore the script and pour your hearts out to them.
Our first challenger is...
You.
Okay.
My princess of destiny.
I have adored you greatly.
Um...
Your eyes, your lips.
Everything about you has stolen my heart.
Just kidding.
Wake up soon.
I promise I'll make you happy.
The stars are so beautiful.
If the two of us could dance until dawn in the starlight,
I would be so happy.
Princess, I'll be waiting for you to wake up.
Forever.
I don't believe in destiny.
I acquire what I want with my own strength.
Isn't that what it means to be a man?
But...
I'll believe in destiny today.
After all, I'm the one who will wake you.
We finally meet.
They say you've been asleep for a hundred years.
What have you been dreaming about?
It'd be great if you had fun dreams.
But if they were sad, I'll cheer you up.
You've been sleeping for a hundred years so you could meet me.
So don't take your eyes off me.
Okay?
Thank you.
Thanks to you, I was able to change.
I hope you'll accept my gratitude.
The moon is beautiful tonight.
Don't you agree?
I always thought that I lived in darkness.
But... you taught me that I live in the light, too.
Now it's my turn to shine my light on you.
You all pass.
All your feelings were genuine.
You even met my unreasonable demands with sincerity.
You knew what you were doing?
Any of you would make a fine prince.
I can guarantee that.
Wait a minute.
You have to choose someone.
What were those competitions for, then?
Ah, but reality is so cruel.
I have to choose just one of you.
Wasn't it that way from the start?
Why don't we let fate decide?
Fate?
The last person holding this card wins.
That's just Old Maid.
It's not Old Maid.
It's Young Prince.
Either way, it has nothing to do with their abilities.
Fate is a skill, too.
The game is coming to a close.
It's come down to the king and Tatewaki-senpai.
Disappointing.
You're wasting your time.
A perfect poker face?
All right.
Let's go with...
This one!
I win.
Damn it!
It's been decided!
The prince of destiny will be played by Ichijoji Teika!
All right.
Ichijoji, I'll be trying to steal the spotlight from you.
Prepare yourself.
Bring it on.
I'm the one who will make the princess shine the brightest.
Really? You might be a real prince, then.
Okay, okay.
Now that we've chosen a prince of destiny,
let's start practicing.
What about the rest of the roles?
I've chosen them based on the audition we just held.
No objections.
Yeah, yeah.
Have you all memorized your lines?
Of course.
What?
Way to go, Suminomiya-senpai.
That was quick.
Yeah, right.
Everyone else, memorize your lines in ten minutes.
Ten minutes?
That's so short!
But we'll just have to do it.
Okay, input complete.
I'm excited.
What?
Kanato, did you already memorize your lines?
I can't believe we're acting in a play together.
Actually, I'm better at all-nighters.
I'm sure something fun will happen again.
Better? That's too fast.
I'd better work just as hard.
Calm down. What matters most is our focus.
You're right.
Sumi, how did you memorize your lines?
Sleep learning.
Sir.
What do you want?
What are you doing here?
Todo-kun, there's something I have to tell you.
Okay, let's do a run-through.
The princess is mine.
Heave, ho! Heave, ho! Heave, ho!
Everything in this world belongs to me.
I will remove your curse.
I won't let you have the princess.
I'll make destiny yield to me!
I accept your challenge.
That's it. Switch over right there.
Good. Keep up the tension.
Juri-chan's sparkles are incredible.
I'd better do my best, too.
Kohana, you're on.
Okay.
You're the one who dispelled the curse and woke me.
This is for you.
Thank you, my prince of destiny.
Aigasaki.
Aigasaki!
Aigasaki-senpai!
Kohana!
Are you all right, Aigasaki?
Good, you're awake.
Are you okay?
Yeah. I suddenly felt dizzy.
Anemia?
Maybe you should go to the nurse's office.
I was too late.
Sir?
What are you talking about?
Aigasaki-san.
Yes?
I'm sorry to say this,
but you have to leave Hoshigei.
Leave Hoshigei?
Senpai's always giving us energy.
It'd be great if we could make her smile this time.
Yeah.
Next time on Magic-Kyun! Renaissance:
The Sleeping Princess of the Frozen Forest
"The Sleeping Princess of the Frozen Forest."
For all you hard workers.
Magic-Kyun!
