Akira, the crimson rose, is in the middle of a conversation with a young woman named Alix. Alix has just passed the entrance exam to become the heir to a company called Heeya, and Alix wonders if Alix's nerves are getting the better of her. She tells Alix that she has found a gelato shop and is going to go there to get some food for the next day's exam. She asks Alix if she has any plans for a holiday in the next month, but Alix says she has to go shopping with some friends. She teases Alix for being fired up and asks her which one she likes the most. She says that she won't be able to forgive her if she fails the exam.
