Ep. 85: Ran and Sora prepare for a dramatic audition involving sword training and costume design.

85

Ran receives an invitation to audition for a drama adaptation of Aladdin, while Sora is tasked with designing the costumes. Ran trains in swordsmanship with Ichigo and Aoi under a teacher who emphasizes theatrical realism over strict accuracy. To address weaknesses from a previous lesson, Ran invites her peers to launch surprise attacks against her. Meanwhile, Sora completes Ran’s costume but struggles to choose her own attire, reflecting on the type of princess she wishes to portray. After observing Ran’s progress, Sora selects an unconventional dress. During the audition, Johnny plays an evil genie who kidnaps Sora, challenging Ran to rescue her. Ran’s training proves effective, but when cornered, Sora takes up the sword to protect Ran. This act demonstrates a princess who defends her admired friend rather than relying on protection. Together, they defeat the genie and successfully pass the audition.
