Sakura: This ends here!!
Gaudy Man: Guha—!?
Rugged Man: W-What are they...? They're way too strong...!
Gaudy Man: Why are you... interfering with this...!? This has nothing to do with you bastards, right...!?
Tsubaki: ......
I just can't forgive robbing someone of the things they love so unreasonably. No matter who my opponent is, I'll fight with my whole heart so that doesn't happen.
Don't make me repeat myself. Next time I won't be so lenient!
Gaudy Man: Hii—!?
Rugged Man: W-We're very sorry~!
Delicate-Looking Delinquent: ......
Sakura: Oi, you okay?
Delicate-Looking Delinquent: ...... Yeah.
I'm seriously... so uncool. In the end, you had to clean up my mess... and I couldn't do a thing.
Sakura: That's not it.
Delicate-Looking Delinquent: Eh...?
Sakura: Sure, we mighta been the ones to throw down with those bastards. But the one who protected the stuffed animal... was you, wasn't it?
Tsubaki: Exactly. You were the one who stuck with the thing you love. You were very cool!
Delicate-Looking Delinquent: ......!
... I've decided. After today, I'm leaving the group.
Sakura: 'S that okay?
Delicate-Looking Delinquent: Yeah. It was a group that my seniors originally forced me to join anyway. I've got no regrets.
Next, I'll do my best to find people who will accept the things I love. It'll probably take some time, but...
Tsubaki: Seeing you now, I'm positive you'll be able to find those people. ... You found us, after all.
<Fade out, fade in>

Sakura: 'Kay, so... a lot happened, but the Christmas market's almost over.
Tsubaki: What are you saying? It's even better, since the performances start now.
Sakura: ...... Eh?
Tsubaki: Didn't I tell you that I'd be performing onstage at the end of the event?
Maybe you were so wrapped up in eating your omurice that you didn't hear me?
Sakura: Guh...!
Tsubaki: Hehe. Here, let's head over.
Because I'll be dancing to express what I love with my whole heart! I'm counting on your support, Sakura!
<Fade out, fade in>

Tsubaki: Uf—! Ha—!
Audience: Waaaaaaaaaah!!
Kotoha: Tsubaki—! You're so cool!
Hiiragi: He's honed his skills even more again.
Umemiya: Yeah. Well, they say if you love something you'll get better at it. You can reeeeally feel his love being conveyed!
Sakura: (Giving your all to what you love, huh...?)
... Heh, not bad.
Presenter/Host: That was a performance by Tsubaki from "OUGI"—!
Audience: Waaaaaaaaaah!!
Tsubaki: Everyone—! Thank you!
And happy merry Christmas!
