After the end of the first match, she was gathered along with Mai Itoeda, Kei Higuchi, and Sanae Hououin. Their coach told them that they lost the first match because Setouchi's representatives from the first group were indeed talented, but they could see what kind of people they would face off.

Give me power and light to my butt! Ah! Mammel, Mammel, Papanski, Night wind, Night wind, blow in me. Give me hip."** (清廉潔白にしてこの世界の元素たる精霊たちよ。光と力を我が尻に！ アー、マンメル マンメル パパンスキー ヨカゼヨカゼ ツッコンデー パワーギブミーヒップ, *Seireikepaku ni shite kono sekai no gensotaru seirei-tachi yo. Hikari to chikara o waga shiri ni!
