Eh~? What’s with that big smile plastered across your face, Marichii~?

If you’re not careful, your cheeks are gonna hurt, see~?

</aside>

Uwah?! Of course they’d hurt if you pinch them like that!

Ow, ow, ow! Let me go!

Fufu~♪ You left yourself wide open for an attack, Royal Advisor~

Flailing your hands around isn’t a good line of defense either.

Come on, Kuma-kun, knock it off. Now’s not the time to be playing around like this.

We’re still guests, so at least try to keep up appearances, jeez…

Here comes the princess’ gallant knight to the rescue, right on cue~

</aside>

Hah?! Listen here, you–!

</aside>

Hehe~

</aside>

Oi, don’t go giggling like that all of a sudden. I’m trying to help you here, see?

And now you switched sides? So~annoying!

</aside>

It’s not that, it’s just… Well…

I’m just happy seeing everyone celebrating and enjoying the night… You all deserve it, after all.

Your movies were all amazing and I’m really glad that the world is finally recognizing everyone’s talents. No matter who wins the award, I’m still so proud of you all from the bottom of my heart.

Well, we wouldn’t have been able to accomplish this without you and Anzu’s support behind the scenes.

</aside>

There’s no need to be so humble…

Anchu and I had full faith in everyone~ So this was all your own efforts!

</aside>

Come on now. No need to get all sappy on us.

Of course it’s only a matter of time before we’d all get recognized.

</aside>

Of course! Why wouldn’t I~?

I binged them all too because they were genuinely really good!
