As we announced before at the music festival,
today marks the beginning of the three countries' joint festival.

As long as you are there, I will soar high into the blue sky.
Ah, nothing beats a shower first thing in the morning!
「Union Festa˩
So true!
By the way,
did you get to meet with everyone from Biscotti at yesterday's meeting?
Yes.
Don't you think Éclair-chan's behaviour was a bit weird?
Hi, Éclair.
Yeah.
Huh?
She seemed to keep avoiding Cinque.
Cinque looked pretty surprised.
I wonder if something happened.
Do you think they had a fight?
But really, Cinque seems to have no clue as to why she is avoiding him.
I'd love to find out.
That's right.
Éclair has been acting kinda distant towards me.
Are you sure you didn't do anything to make her mad again, Cinque?
Well, Éclair is a growing girl, so she has her moments.
I'm sure you'll be able to make up in no time.
I hope so.
I'm sorry, Princess.
It seems Cou-sama has got rather attached to Cinque.
Oh, not at all!
Somehow, it puts a smile on my face.
Cou-sama, are you okay on time?
Now that you mention it...
We should probably be on our way home.
Hero Cinque, your lap was really comfortable to rest upon!
Thank you very much.
See you soon, Millhi-nee and Cinque!
Once the war starts, we'll be enemies!
Yes.
We won't hold back.
It shall be a fair fight!
See you later.
That's right!
The first day is finally here.
Looks like today is going to be a very rambunctious day.
Yes. With everyone together, I'm sure it'll be a lot of fun.
Biscotti Front Lines
Chief!
Everyone under the command of the Imperial Guard are in position.
Both of you, go and rest until the opening.
Now, if you will excuse us.
We shall see you on the battlefield.
It looks like Emilio and Ange are really excited to start.
Yeah, they're competing against each other for the rank of captain.
They going to give everything they've got.
The Biscotti Knight Squad is getting stronger and stronger.
It's really great.
Yeah, you're right.
It's a good thing.
Despite that, Éclair-chan, it looks like you've been worrying about something.
What do you mean, "worried"?
Like I've said before, it's about Hero-sama.
I've known you for a long time.
Even if you try to convince me otherwise, I can read you like an open book.
Éclair, you love the Hero!
You love how he treats you with such care.
You love how he can run at the same speed as you.
You love how he's always grateful, courteous, and you trust in his words.
But you're so serious, so you feel embarrassed,
wondering if you actually like or hate him.
Not to mention that there are a lot of wonderful girls constantly around him.
So you say to yourself, "I'm just a knight; the Captain of the Imperial Guards",
and keep worrying.
No, you-
Being angry at me won't help anything.
To tell you the truth, I'm the one who's a bit mad at you today.
I'm sorry.
I know you love the hero as well...
But I'm truly-
No no, that's wrong!
It's true that I like Hero-sama a lot, but I always say what I truly feel.
The reason I'm mad is you, Éclair,
is never being honest and you never open up.
All you do is worry.
I tell you, that's not the problem...
Well, let's forget all this.
Now is not a good time.
Now's the only good time!
Everyone is worried about you, Éclair.
Just leave me alone.
Even without your concerns, I'll still do my best in battle.
I told you, you can't throw me off with an attitude like that!
Are you ignoring me?
Don't act so uncool, Éclair.
I'm quite fine with acting uncool.
If I don't have courage, I can't be honest.
If you think that's pathetic, that's fine with me.
I didn't mean it that way!
I just...
Either way, I don't care!
I told you to leave me alone.
This war is an important one, so let me concentrate.
The importance of this war is exactly why...
...I wanted to talk to you about this.
This is an important event that will be in our memories.
Éclair you... Éclair...
I hate you!
I'm so sorry.
It's the Queen of Inventions.
What's going on?
Rico, are you all right?
Leo-sama, Noir...
I see... such a small argument escalated into a fight.
Well, it's the usual thing.
Once the battle is off our minds, we usually apologise and get over it.
The fight must be Cinque's fault, right?
Éclair, you're not being honest about Cinque, making everyone around you worry.
Well, I guess love and affection are not things you should think about too much.
Even so, having someone you love is a fun and happy thing.
I'm sure that's what Rico was trying to tell you.
Try not to over-think it and be a bit more honest-
You disappoint me, Captain of the Imperial Guards.
I heard your story.
Éclair, with such a weak attitude, you won't stand a chance in this war!
That being said,
since I am a knight as well, I can relate to your situation.
How about making a small bet with me, so you won't have time to think about all this?
A bet?
Today, you'll fight me one-on-one.
Obviously, the winner of the battle wins the bet.
Of course, I shall give you an advantage.
All you have to do is destroy my armour or weapon in order to win.
Of course, I shall not make use of Grandvert.
What do you say?
These are quite exceptional terms, don't you think?
That's true, but...
What are we betting on?
If I win, you shall be Galette's Captain of the Special Charging Team for today.
As a Galette Knight, you'll be able to fight against your rivals in love, Millhi and Rebecca, to your heart's content.
No, no, Leo-sama!
I think you've got the wrong idea.
Besides, I can't just make a decision like this without permission...
What?
Even when I have such a big handicap, you're still afraid to lose?
Have you stepped down so low?
And if I...
...win?
I shall listen to any wish of yours.
Not like you can defeat me in your current state.
Fine.
I'll prove you wrong.
Eh, this somehow got out of hand...
Don't worry, Leo-sama will take care of this.
Now, it's almost time to start!
Are you all ready?!
This battle shall be carved into history.
The person standing at the goal is, of course...
Princess Millhiore!
Hello!
The three countries' joint event, Union Festa, is finally starting!
Leo-sama,
Cou-sama,
are you ready?
Yes, any time!
Of course!
Then let's all count down together!
Three...
...Two...
...One!
Let's go!
The first battle has started in the water area.
Galette's Imperial Guard Knight, Her Highness Leo, is pushing forward!
Could her Highness Leo's aim be Biscotti's second squad?
Captain!
Captain, your orders?
Yeah...
In the meantime, the princess is going back to Biscotti's main camp from her announcement.
She will take command now.
Okay, let's advance as well!
Okay!
Couvert-sama and Hero Rebecca are advancing toward Biscotti's main camp!
Knight Éclair and her Highness Leo are moving towards the Great Brise Bridge!
Now Biscotti's Imperial Guard Captain and the Ruler of the Lion Army are about to...
Shining Ice Blade!
Clash!
That's some flashy gear, but it's very brittle.
Just as your friends feared, your worrying has made you weak.
Right now, you're completely useless!
Put your spirit into it and come at me!
I have spirit.
This crazy one-on-one fight,
if I lose...
..I cannot go back to my country.
If you lose, you shall not be obligated to return.
Isn't that favourable?
Her Highness Leo's Emblem Cannon!
But Knight Éclair is showing amazing resolve here!
Blast Wave!
Falling Doom.
An intensive attack!
Is Captain Éclair in danger?
Éclair...
I guess that hit was a bit light.
Ah, I want to go cheer her on.
Be patient, Hero-sama.
Her Highness Leo is getting closer to Captain Éclair.
Is this going to be the end of this one-on-one battle?!
My body...
...won't move...
I ended up just as Rico and Yukikaze worried I would.
This important battle...
This one-on-one battle I couldn't afford to lose...
I went into it with this heart full of doubt.
Now, choose:
Shall I finish you off,
or do you wish to surrender?
Being like this might even make Rico and Hero-sama hate me.
Knight Éclair is in big trouble!
Will Biscotti lose their Captain of the Imperial Guard?!
Éclair, don't lose...
I want you to do your best.
I am sorry for bothering you before this important battle,
and even getting into a fight with you.
I'm sorry for being conceited and being unable to tell you what I wanted to say properly.
I just wanted to cheer you up, as you are always way too serious, Éclair.
When I said I hated you, I didn't mean it.
The truth is, I love you!
No matter what, I love you!
Forever and ever!
The fault...
The fault lies with me.
You did nothing wrong.
Besides...
...I love you too.
Along with the princess and everyone in the Knight unit,
the country of Biscotti,
and our Hero.
They are all important people to me.
I hold them dear and do not want to betray them!
That's why I won't lose.
Those are certainly big words, but what do you plan to do?
I'm going to win.
I am going to defeat you, and advance with our Hero.
We shall bring Biscotti to victory!
Hmm, you finally have a knight's eyes.
Very well. Bring it on!
Captain Éclair has recovered!
But will...
Here I go.
Shining Power release!
Shining Ice Blade! Double Wield!
What?!
Air Splitting!
Shining Cross Slash!
This is surprisingly quite-
I win.
Damn.
It sure seems like it.
You got me.
Captain Éclair is the winner!
Her Bright Power has destroyed Her Highness Leo's sword and armour!
My, my. I let my guard down.
Thank you very much, Your Highness.
How was it?
Putting your thoughts into words?
Do you feel better now?
A lot.
I'm going to stop keeping all my worries to myself.
If you ever have love problems, come and talk to me.
Castle Vanette is all women, so I surprisingly understand the female heart.
Then I shall take that right as my reward.
It's a promise then.
The war has only just begun.
Let us return to our rightful places.
Yes.
And with that, the one-on-one battle on the Great Brise Bridge goes to Biscotti!
It is a retreat rather than defeat.
But it still adds a huge amount of points to Biscotti's score.
Éclair!
I'm sorry I made you worry.
Not at all.
Now let's go!
Let's push forward, just like we planned!
Okay!
What's happening at Biscotti's main camp after the victory of their captain?
I see the princess' favourite blanchir, Harlan, being paraded.
Could it be that...
That was so cool, Éclair!
I want to give her a nice, long pet later!
Of course!
It seems the princess and Head of Inventions are going into the sky together.
OK, it's finally time.
Yes.
Let's get going, Princess-sama.
Right.
Rebecca-san and I are going to fight without holding back, too!
