They both talk to each other on the mic after.
Overall thoughts: I was okay with every match on this card. Boz/Saya had the most issues as Saya was just too small for her but they worked it the best they could and it was watchable. The main was fine and Konami/Suzu was probably the match of the night. Momo/Hina beat my expectations as did Miyu/Ami. I'd give this a 7 out of 10 as it was filled with shorter but decent matches. It was a good show overall.
