(We keep getting Picock-blocked and I am not here for it)
Chapter 7: Aiming for my Modelling Debut!
Mia: Woah! So this is where they do photoshoots for magazines, huh?
Ayami: There’s a lot of beautiful models around here…
Reina: Player’s debut as a model has me super excited!
Mia: I wonder what kinda shoot this’ll be, I can’t wait to find out!
(Camera flash)
Mia: AAAH! The flash is way too bright!!
Mion: Hehe, I got a nice candid.
Karin: Mion-san!?
Reina: You’re the cameraman today, Mion-san?
Mion: Yup. Since we’re all teammates with Pretty Top, I thought I’d be the best at capturing your natural reactions!
Karin: Even if we are teammates, having you take our pictures… it’d make anyone galactically nervous!
Mion: Really?
Karin: Yeah! (Crying but in the anime, not-serious way)
Mion: It shouldn’t make Player nervous. Hey Player, you can show me your prettiest smile, right? You’re not too nervous?
Choice: Yes, I’d be happy to!/I’m a bit nervous, actually…
Mion: Hehe, I thought you’d say that! Our photoshoot is for a huge magazine feature on prism stars.
Reina: Woah, that’s so cool! Your modelling debut’s going to be in a magazine feature!
Mia: I’m so jealouuuuuus!! I wanna be in a magazine tooooo!!
Mion: Yeah, yeah, fine. Mia can be in the shoot next time. Player, I’ll be taking pics of you performing a prism show, okay? Go get changed… wait, huh?
Reina: Is something wrong?
Mion: That rookie over there, she’s been looking at Player this whole time…
(Rinne appears)
Rinne: Player…
Mia: Ah! Rinne!! Why are you at the photo studio?
Picock: So you are all gracing this studio with your presences as well…?
Mia: Eugh, Picock! You’re here too… Well, Player has a photoshoot right now so don’t try to get in their way!
Picock: I would never dare to get in their way. Rinne is also partaking in a photoshoot, and is quite busy.
Mia: Really? Why’s Rinne doing a shoot?
Picock: It. Is. A. Secret!
Mia: What difference does it make if you tell us or not!?
Picock: Regardless, Rinne shall be featured in a much more prolific magazine than Player.
Mia: Really…? In that case, there’s no way Player will lose to you guys! Player, put on the best show you can and become a waaay better magazine model than Rinne!
Rinne: I want to see… Player’s prism show…
Mion: Hehehe. I’m not too sure what’s going on here, but it looks like things are getting fun! Player, make sure you show me the most heartfelt smile you can!
(Prism show)
Mion: Nice smile! I got a lot of great photos! You looked like you were really enjoying yourself during your show. I also started smiling while taking your pictures!
Rinne: Your heart… was sparking! Player really is my…
Picock: It seems that you’ve gotten ahead of us this time. Ah! I cannot allow this, we do not have enough time to be messing about with these people!
Mia: What do you mean ‘these people’!?
Picock: Coocoocoo! There shall be a surprise awaiting all of you tomorrow morning.
Mia: Huh? A surprise? What’ll it be?
Picock: You shall know tomorrow morning. It is now time for Rinne’s photoshoot. We are leaving!
Rinne: Okay… See you later, Player.
Reina: That Rinne girl has a pretty weird vibe.
Karin: Yeah, and that peacock on her shoulder was weird too…
Mia: Pretty sure Rinne and Picock are after the Rainbow Charm.
Mion: I see. Do you know why?
Mia: I have no clue… Though maybe that ‘surprise’ Picock mentioned is related? What’s gonna happen tomorrow? I wanna know!!!
Chapter 8: You’re my Rival!? Rinne’s Letter of Challenge
(In a bedroom, which I assume is the player’s?)
Karin: I’m glad the photoshoot went so well! Maybe you’ll become super famous now!
Reina: What did Picock mean when he said there would be a surprise tomorrow?
Mia: Yeaaaah, I’m sooo curious!!
Ayami: Oh, Player-san!
Reina: What’s up, Ayami?
Ayami: The TV! Please put on the TV!
Reina: The TV…? Why?
Ayami: Just hurry up and turn it on!
Mia: Yeah, yeah. The TV is… on!
Reina: What the…? “Press conference regarding a huge new prism star’s debut”!?
Karin: Woah, there’s a whole lotta people there!
Reina: This many people at a prism star’s debut is unthinkable…
Ayami: Oh! It’s starting!
Television: And now, the prism star who can change her image based on her coord… Rinne’s debut shall now commence!
Mia: RINNE!? Huuuh!? Rinne’s debuting as a prism star!? Why would Rinne’s debut be this popular!?
Reina: Shut up, Mia! The rest of us can’t hear!
Mia: But… I’m surprised!
Ayami: Rinne’s about to talk!
Rinne: Hello… I am Rinne. From here on out, I will be aiming to reach the top of the world of prism shows… I am the prism star chosen by the rainbow to bring forth the Rainbow Wedding!
Interviewer A: The Rainbow Wedding!? Do you mean the legendary coord that has never been seen before?
Rinne: Exactly. However, my rival currently has the Rainbow Charm that I require.
Interviewer B: You mean to say that a star has appeared who has the Rainbow Charm!?
Interviewer C: Rinne-san, please tell us the name of your rival!
Rinne: My rival’s name is… Player!!! You’re watching, aren’t you, Player? I will beat you and complete the Rainbow Charm! No, I must! I will definitely defeat you!
(Back to the bedroom)
Reina: ...damn, that was chilling.
Mia: Her character changed again, huh… She became a cool character this time. And she called Player her rival. Why does she want the Rainbow Charm that much!?
Penguin-sensei: Hey, Player! What’s the meaning of this!? Pretty Top’s been getting flooded with calls about “Rinne’s rival, Player”!
Mia: Woahhh! She’s created a huge fuss!
Pengun-sensei: We don’t have enough time to respond to everyone…
Mia: Player, we should go!
Penguin: Please go to the Prism Future Arena at once! There are a bunch of places to hide there, now hurry!
(The gang goes to the arena)
Mia: Haaaah, we somehow made it here… wait, huh?
Rinne: Player…
Mia: Rinne! What the hell was that press conference!?
Rinne: Player… are you angry?
Choice: I’m not angry/Why the hell did you say all of that!?
Rinne: I’m really sorry. I hurt your heart… But I need the Prism Charm no matter what. Seven-hued metamorphosis… Change! Cool!!!
Rinne: Player…
Mia: Ahhh! It’s the same cool character as before!
Rinne: I will defeat you and acquire the power of the seven coords! If I don’t, then I’ll... always be empty! (Okay so. It may be ‘it will always be empty’ referring to the Rainbow Charm, take this one with a grain of salt because it was unclear to me at least)
(Prism show)
Mia: AH! The Rainbow Charm!
Mia: You got the power of the cool coord…
Rinne: …Player…
Picock: It was useless…
Rinne: Picock, I’m sorry.
Picock: It’s alright, you do not need to apologise. Player, it seems that you really are a star befitting of being Rinne’s rival. However, Rinne is yet to awaken her true power.
Mia: No way! You mean she can improve even more!?
Picock: This time we just wished to see how much you’ve grown as a prism star. I have prepared a stage befitting of a true battle between Player and Rinne. That stage is.. The Rainbow Cup!
Mia: Huuuh!? The Rainbow Cup hasn’t been put on for forever!
Picock: That is correct. However, now that two stars chosen by the rainbow have appeared, the Rainbow Cup has been revived.
Rinne: The winner of the Rainbow Cup will acquire the Rainbow Wedding.
Picock: Please perfect your My☆Deco in order to compete in the Rainbow Cup!
Rinne: …
Picock: Farewell.
Mia: They left… “Aim for the Rainbow Cup”, huh… Rinne seemed kinda sad. Being able to change her personality with the seven coords is amazing, but who is the real Rinne?
