NICO: "We have made it to the final contest. Tied at four to four. I didn't think it would come to this. I applaud you for doing so well for such noobs."
KASUMI: "Hmph. These 'noobs' took four wins from you. I'll show you that the great μ's aren't anything special after all."
NICO: "Bring it on shorty!"
KASUMI: "I may be short, but I'm still taller than you!"
NICO: "NEWBIE!"
KASUMI: "OVERRATED!"
UMI: "Stop it, you two."
Oh no. It's Kasumi VS Nico... This is going to get very messy, very quickly.
I applaud Umi's conflict resolution. Before this coild have turned into a bloodbath.
HANAYO: "So what are you going to do to contest your idol powers?"
NICO: "We're going to have a persona contest to test our true idol abilities! Great idea for the final contest, huh?"
AKI: "How do we decide who wins?"
NICO: "Idols are watched by many people. In order to test our true idol powers, we need lots of people to watch us. So, we're going to stream this contest!
You'll have to do a self-introduction based on the character persona you get. And viewers will vote on who's better."
AKI: "Oh no, not this again."
NICO: "Don't worry, the crowd isn't from Akihabara this time. They're impartial."
AKI: "Very well, I'll take your word for it."
KASUMI: "So whoever is cuter wins, huh? *Giggle* You thought up a great contest for us."
NICO: "Our persona themes will be pulled out of a box, one by one. Hey, pull for us."
AKI: "Wait, me?"
NICO: "You're not in the competing lineup, so I'm letting you pick as a special favor. Go on, take one."
AKI: "Okay...there we go."
NICO: "Thanks! *Giggle* I'm looking forward to this one."
...
Wow, the time I spent with Yoshiko really did teach me about setting up live streaming software.
AKI: "The stream is about to start. Are you both ready?"
KASUMI: "Yup! I'm ready to go when you are, Senpai!"
NICO: "I'll show you the power of super idol Nico!"
HONOKA: "You two are really into it. I can't wait to see how this turns out."
AKI: "Okay, sound speed, camera speed. Let's start. The ninth contest's live stream...is live"
...
NICO: "Hello everyone! It's me, your favorite idol Nico Nico Yazawa! Thanks for watching!"
KASUMI: "I'm Kasumin! This is my first stream with μ's' Nico! My heart is pounding!"
NICO: "Today, Kasumin and I are practicing our self-introductions. Please let us know who you thought was cuter!"
KASUMI: "I've practiced a lot of different styles, so please watch!"
NICO: "The first persona theme is... 'Little Sister'."
Oh no...
NICO: "You first Kasumin, do your best!"
KASUMI: "Ugh, I got goosebumps. *cough* Okay, I'll start!"
KASUMI: "Nice to meet you big brother, I'm Kasumin. Your cutie cutie little sister! I'm good at cooking.
Ohmygosh, I actually said it all right! Will you reward me with a pat on the head?"
...
GAH!
KANATA: "Cooking? It's not a lie, I guess. Her bread rolls are to die for."
KARIN: "She pulled off that character with ease."
...
NICO: "I'm next. Here I go!
My name? You should already know my name. Come on, at least remember it, you big dummy!
All right, listen. My name is...Nico!"
...
MAKI: "What's so 'little sister' about that?"
HANAYO: "U-Uhh... It was tsundere. There are lots of little sisters in the world."
RIN: "The 'little sister' persona is deep."
Oh God make it stop...
...
NICO: "The next persona is 'rapper!' Sounds hard, right? Gotta do our best though! Kasumin, go for it!"
KASUMI: "Capturing the world with my art,
training steels my heart,
my soul is unshakable on stage,
and my cute face will make your heart rage!
I'm just a dame,
with a one way ticket to fame,
Kasumin,
that's my name! Yeah!"
NICO: "W-Way to go. I won't let you best me though!"
Am I dead yet?
NICO: "A super idol living in Japan,
the most dazzling idol in the land!
Call for it and I have no choice,
but to deliver my angelic voice!
Men and women,
children and old,
no looking away,
you must behold...NICO WOOOO!!"
...
SHIZUKU: "They're both really into it."
AI: "Don't you think rapping has a lot of puns? For rhyming and stuff I guess."
...
KASUMI: "Now, onto the next one!"
No...NO....NOOOOOO!!!
*10 PERSONAS LATER*
KASUMI: "Okay everyone, that was all the styles! We honestly want everyone to watch more, but we're all out! Sorry!"
Two hours... That went on for TWO HOURS.
NICO: "Please choose one of the following four options and vote on who you liked more!
1. NICO!
2. KASUMIN!
3. BOTH, I CAN'T DECIDE!
4. Both are trash."
NOZOMI: "..."
NICO: "Wait, what? There's a weird option in there."
KASUMI: "Don't worry about that option, I know none of you will pick it, riiiiight?"
NICO & KASUMI: "Okay, let the voting begin!"
...
AKI: "Ummm... How do I put this... The result of the ninth contest is... a tie!"
NICO & KASUMI: "...Hmph."
AYUMU: "Nico got 1%.
Kasumi got 1%.
Both got 3%.
And option 4... got 95%."
ELI: "Harasho... I can't say I didn't see that coming."
NICO: "Whyyyyyyy! I don't get it! Did everyone watching have holes for eyes or something?!"
AKI: "Uh, oh. We're still streaming live."
NICO: "WHAT?! Uhhh... Nico-Nico-Ni!"
AKI: "I'm kidding."
KASUMI: "Nico, you set this up, didn't you?! I would never get a low rating like 1% otherwise! What have you done?!"
UMI: "Calm down, the both of you. This is the judgement that has been passed down by the viewers. If you want to complain-"
NICO: "It's your fault, Umi! You were in charge of the options, you added that choice!"
UMI: "What?! You're blaming ME?!"
NOZOMI: *Casual whistling*
AKI: "Man, what a volatile situation. This is getting out of control."
KANATA: "But if it's a tie, what do we do?"
AKI: "Good question."
RINA: "Right, if both won, the that means we're still tied in the overall competition."
AKI: "I wouldn't say that both won... I'd say that both of them lost here."
NIJIGASAKI - 4
μ's - 4
