NOZOMI: "4 wins and 5 losses each. So what do we do now it's a tie?"
KARIN: "This is usually when we go into overtime."
HONOKA: "Hmm. Isn't it enough, already?
Wasn't this supposed to be about showing them the Secret Idol Handbook, not proving if we're better than them?
That meand a tie should be more than enough. Everyone from Nijigasaki was amazing, and doing all of these contests was fun!"
ELI: "That's right. We've competed against other schools, but never like this before."
UMI: "Plus, we were the ones that proposed the competition in the first place. I actually feel bad for dragging them through a of this."
AKI: "Honoka, Eli, Umi..."
NICO: "Here. Take it."
AKI: "Huh? I-Is this..."
NICO: "The Secret Idol Handbook you wanted to read. I have a lot I want to say, but a tie is way better than I thought you'd do. So I think you're all pretty amazing."
AKI: "Nico..."
NICO: "This is proof of my approval. Burn the contents of this into your brains and use the information to be better idols."
AKI: "..."
NICO: "What? Hurry up and take it."
AKI: "I'm sorry... I can't accept this."
NICO: "Excuse me?"
AKI: "Can you let us finish and get a real decisive verdict? Honoka may be right in that it's not about who's better, but...
I can't let it end like this."
NICO: "Why not? I'm handing you my precious treasure here, why aren't you taking it?!"
AKI: "You said to me that if we can beat μ's, then we will get access to the secret of your charm.
Well, we didn't beat you. But we didn't lose. I won't let this end undecided."
KARIN: "Yeah, a draw hardly provides an acceptable conclusion."
AI: "It feels so much better to have a clear winner and loser!"
KASUMI: "I agree Senpai! I call for a rematch with Nico!"
AKI: "Let's...not do that. We need a final result."
SETSUNA: "I feel the same. I find this hard to swallow as is."
RINA: "If we do another fashion show, I'll draw better!"
AKI: "Let's...not do that either."
SHIZUKU: "I'd rather not obsess over winning and losing, but I think determining a clear winner and loser will help us move on to the next step."
KANATA: "I don't care much either way."
EMMA: "Last week and today were like parties. It was all so fun! If it's going to bring us closer together, I'm all for continuing this."
AYUMU: "M-Me too. If it helps everyone, I agree."
AKI: "You guys feel the same way, right?"
HONOKA: "Hmm... Right. Okay."
ELI: "I understand what you guys are saying, but to be honest I'm not that concerned with who wins and loses."
NICO: "But Eli... We're undefeated!
I already said I'd show you the Secret Idol Handbook. Personally, though, I've got a thing or two to say about that ninth contest."
AKI: "The glove is off, I'm throwing it down. On behalf of Nijigasaki... I challenge you, μ's!"
NOZOMI: "Hey, how about this?"
HONOKA: "Nozomi?"
NOZOMI: "Double or Nothing."
AKI: "Okay, now we're talking my language!"
HONOKA: "Double or...nothing?"
NOZOMI: "There's a music event at the end of the month we're supposed to be headlining. Are you guys at Nijigasaki entering too?"
AKI: "That...event?! No, we couldn't enter since all the spots have been filled."
NOZOMI: "I see... Then try and take ours."
EVERYONE: "What?!"
AYUMU: "So you're putting your headline spot on the line?!"
NOZOMI: "Yes. We're both going to write new songs for the event and compare them. The better song wins and the winners get to headline the event."
NICO: "Wha?! Wh-What are you saying?!"
HONOKA: "Sounds interesting."
NICO: "Honoka! Don't you see that we're THIS CLOSE to the School Idol Festival?! If we lose this... It'll crush our chances if we lose to some newbies!"
HONOKA: "It's a song battle! It's the clash of the conviction of school idols! How cool is that?"
KOTORI: "Actually, that makes it wonderfully dramatic."
NICO: "Hmph. They're not listening..."
AKI: "Double or Nothing..."
NOZOMI: "What do you think? If it's a contest of song writing, that means you, Akihiko, will be competing."
AKI: "Yeah, I accept! Nijigasaki has one more member, after all!"
AI: "Oh! Things are heating up!"
SETSUNA: "So it'll be a contest of a school idol's core essence!"
RINA: "I felt like we were testing important facets of school idols the whole time."
KANATA: "No need to worry about the details!"
KASUMI: "It's a shame we can't get a rematch of the ninth contest, but if we win this, we'll snatch the chance to headline this event from μ's."
KARIN: "That's a blunt way to put it. This kind of competition sure fires me up though."
SHIZUKU: "Yes, my heart is pounding in anticipation!"
EMMA: "I can't wait for this event!"
NOZOMI: *Giggle* "So Nijigasaki agrees. What do you think, Maki?"
MAKI: "Why would you ask after getting everyone so excited? I don't mind.
I'm curious to see what kind of song Akihiko can write, too."
AKI: "Maki..."
NOZOMI: "So that's it. The event is exactly two weeks from today.
Let's make the song-off the week before that."
AKI: "So, one week from today? I'm looking forward to it!"
NOZOMI: "Then Sudden Death Overtime it is. The tenth contest between μ's and Nijigasaki, a song-off!"
The pressure is on.
Me VS Maki
DOUBLE OR NOTHING!
