PRAD Episode 40
Translated by Moho Kareshi
I'm ecstatic.
Mion goes solo in the New Year Cup ! !
A showdown with the current Prism Queen ! !
Hey, you guys!
Here!
Have you been doing your jobs properly lately?
Of course I have!
I'm not confident to say that I have.
I'm Yamada.
You're supposed to be coaches! Or have you forgotten?!
Of course not!
What were you doing on New Year's Day?
I was making a training schedule!
I was watching a comedy show.
It was winter, so I was hibernating.
You're useless!
I'm Yamada.
I didn't raise you to be so lazy!
You're making me cry!
I'm sorry!
We'll change our ways and work harder!
That's the way!
That's how it should be!
I'm Yamada!
What you do from here on out is what matters!
Yes, sir!
Let's get started!
Yes, sir!
Each of Our Resolves
Each of Our Resolves.
Happy New Year!
I got you some souvenirs.
Wow! Awesome!
Where'd you go?
I went scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef.
Hey! What happened to you?!
Huh?
You pigged out on New Year's Day, didn't you?
Huh?! Really?
She's right!
We really let ourselves go!
That's enough fooling around!
From today, you'll be training for the Prism Queen Cup.
The Prism Queen Cup?
As the name implies, winning the Prism Queen Cup is the highest honor you can receive as a Prism Star.
It is the most prestigious tournament in Japan.
To compete, one must obtain outstanding points in the competitions within the Prism Queen series.
The winner will be recognized as the ultimate Prism Star.
Just like President Asechi and Kanzaki Sonata were.
The President was a Prism Queen?!
You didn't know?!
No.
She might not look it, but she was incredible back in her younger days.
I see.
To win this tournament, you will be required to perform the Aurora Rising.
The Aurora Rising?
Without the Aurora Rising, one cannot become the Prism Queen.
But you told Rhythm-chan never to try it again!
Originally, the Aurora Rising was not a terrifying jump.
You need talent as a Prism Star, as well as practice based on the correct knowledge.
Theoretically, a good costume will make it possible.
You'll be fine.
You have the talent.
To perform the Aurora Rising, you'll need to prepare some wedding dresses.
By winning past tournaments, you have obtained some rare stones.
Do we really need the Aurora Rising to win?
Aurora Rising!
I think the Aurora Rising is an incredible jump.
But there has to be a better Prism Jump!
I won't let you boss me around like that!
There has to be something better than the Aurora Rising!
I'll prove it to you!
I knew you'd say that.
It will take an extraordinary effort to surpass the Aurora Rising.
I'll do whatever it takes.
I admire your dedication, but you aren't ready for it.
First, you need to win in the Prism Queen series.
You should start with the New Year Cup.
I'm more than ready.
I'll win.
Fine.
Do as you wish.
Aira, you'll enter the inaugural Pure Premium Wedding Cup.
Rhythm, I've entered you in the second Winter Snow Cup.
Only the best in Japan may enter the Pure Premium Wedding Cup.
It is another prestigious tournament.
Aira! Rhythm!
From now on, you'll be working on a special training program that I have personally prepared for you.
Yes, ma'am...
Just a minute!
I want to perform the Aurora Rising that my mom, Kanzaki Sonata, performed!
Rhythm-chan!
It's fine.
She already knows.
I know how many times you tried to master it.
But you couldn't do it, not even once.
Will she manage to perform the Aurora Rising?
She failed!
She failed again!
She can't do it!
Asechi has failed to perform the Aurora Rising yet again!
I have a favor to ask, Miss President.
Tell me where Coach Kei is.
I did some research.
Kei taught my mom how to perform the Aurora Rising!
I want her to teach me how to do it, too!
You know where she is, don't you?
I don't know.
I see.
Then I'll find her myself.
Rhythm-chan!
Rhythm!
Wait, Rhythm!
Is that true?
Is Rhythm Kanzaki Sonata's daughter?
Yes.
I see.
Kanzaki Sonata's come back to Japan.
What did you say?!
I dare say that she coached Chris Kaname for the Crystal High Heel Cup.
Kaname tried to perform the Aurora Rising.
The players have all assembled.
She will probably make her perform the Aurora Rising for the Prism Queen Cup.
I know she will.
Rhythm-chan!
That hit the spot!
I wanted to tell her sometime.
I feel better now.
Geez.
You didn't have to be so rude.
I must've surprised you.
I bet you didn't expect me to tell President Asechi that I'd perform the Aurora Rising.
Isn't it enough that she's acknowledged our talent?
Don't get careless.
I'll perform it at the Prism Queen Cup!
You shouldn't force yourself.
I'll perform something even better than the Aurora Rising!
Mion-chan?
You'd better not mess up!
It's a promise!
You'd better not lose either, Aira.
Let's all enter the Prism Queen Cup.
Of course we will!
I'll give it everything I've got!
Karina-san!
Will you be entering the New Year Cup?
Do you expect to compete against Takamine Mion?
I'll do my best.
Please say a few words about Takamine Mion!
Togashi Karina?!
She's already entered.
Who's Togashi Karina?
She's the current Prism Queen!
She has won the Prism Queen Cup nine years running.
Each and every Prism Queen looks up to her.
She's the top Prism Star in Japan right now.
Are you nervous, Mion?
Yeah.
Just thinking about competing with Karina makes my heart race.
Just you watch!
I'll win and show you how it's done!
Give it your best!
Go for it!
The New Year Cup has finally begun!
This will be Takamine Mion's solo appearance.
She will be competing against the Prism Queen, Togashi Karina!
Can you taste the excitement in the air?
It has been a long time, Asechi-san.
Karina.
These are the contestants to watch out for in this year's Pure Fresh Wedding Cup!
The Prism Queen, Asechi Kyoko, and newcomer Togashi Karina!
Karina-san!
This will be your first head-to-head battle against Asechi.
Asechi-san is a relic of the past.
I'll prove my superiority here.
What is your opinion, Asechi?
I will be retiring.
Asechi, why are you retiring?
I can't jump anymore.
Asechi-san! One minute, please!
Is there anything you'd like to say to Togashi?
The winner is Togashi Karina!
Togashi will receive the Pure Fresh Wedding Dress!
At that moment, I became the Prism Queen.
But...
Even now, I'm trying to catch up to you.
I want to fulfill my responsibility as the Prism Queen.
Are you...?
Okay, girls.
What's another important role you have as mascots?
I know!
Cheering!
Exactly!
First, observe me closely.
Hooray! Hooray!
Yamada-san!
I love you, Yamada-san!
Hold me, Yamada-san!
I love you!
You're too kind.
Your turn!
Hey, you big guy up there!
Who, me?
Get rid of that strange doll!
Who are you calling a doll?!
I'm a bird!
A bird!
It's finally time for Togashi Karina's performance!
She has decided to wear the Pure Fresh Wedding Dress!
A wedding dress!
How wonderful!
It's every woman's dream!
Yeah.
Mion.
You don't have to watch.
Don't miss a thing.
Miss President.
See what a Prism Queen can do.
She's good.
What an incredible aura!
Platinum Spiral!
She did it!
As expected of the Queen! That was perfect!
Her score!
7560 carats!
Needless to say, she is currently in first place!
Wow...
I expected no less.
It's time, Mion.
Right.
Go for it!
Mion!
Wataru?
Don't you have a live show today?
I snuck off.
Are you okay, Mion?
She's a worthy adversary.
Don't force yourself.
Just relax.
Huh?!
You came here just to say that?!
You've got too much time on your hands.
There you go again.
You'll be fine.
You're not alone.
Aira, Rhythm, all of us in Callings...
We'll always be there for you.
Never forget that.
You'll be fine. Just do your best.
Who do you think you are?!
I won't lose!
Try again in a hundred billion years!
Oh, Mion!
Can it!
Get back to work, now!
That's my Mion.
Wataru.
Good job.
Uh-oh! This is bad.
It's finally time for Takamine Mion's performance!
Mion-chan! Go for it!
Go for it!
Yamada-san!
It's time to show them what great teachers can do.
Right!
(On the flag) Big Catch
Hooray! Hooray! MI-O-N!

You're bothering the audience!

She won in her debut appearance, despite pitting herself against Togashi Karina!
She did it!
Mion-sama!
Congratulations.
That was splendid.
Thank you very much.
I should be thanking you.
Now I can retire without any regrets.
Huh?
It's time for youngsters like you to shine.
But...
Please, take these.
What are those?
They're Pure Fresh Wedding Dress Stones.
Let's just say Asechi-san gave them to me.
You're sure?
Of course!
In exchange, you had better become Prism Queen.
I will!
Asechi-san.
I'm going to get married.
Looks like I'll be wearing a real wedding dress before you.
Ouch!
Huh?!
Mion-chan's going overseas?!
That's right.
She said she wants to obtain points by winning foreign tournaments.
When is she leaving?
Today.
She left a message for you.
She'll be waiting for you at the Prism Queen Cup.
That way!
Mion!
Wataru!
What are you doing here?
What do you mean?
I came to see you off.
You really do have too much time on your hands.
You didn't have to do that for me.
Take care.
We'll be waiting for you.
I won't be gone long.
Go for it, go for it, MI-O-N!
The tournaments for Prism Queen have begun.
Yeah.
I can't wait!
Yeah.
Who are you cheering for, Ayami?
Good question.
I hope Rhythm-chan wins.
I hope Mion wins.
Rhythm-chan's been working pretty hard.
