The nine contests of the school idols! Next up is a dance off!

That's fitting for school idols.

Yeah! But this…is an arcade?

Wait, is it going to be a dance off in a game?

Exactly! Whoever gets the higher score wins.

Eli will be competing for μ's. Who are you going to choose?

I'm pretty confident when it comes to dance games. Leave this one to me.

Let's have fun today, Karin.

Yes, I'm looking forward to it, Eli.

Eli used to take ballet. She dances so beautifully.

So that's how she moves so elegantly. I think I get it now.

Karin is so sexy when she dances. I can't take my eyes off of either of them!

Huh? More and more people are gathering around.

You're right! I guess everyone wants to see what all the fun is about.

*Giggle* It can't be helped when someone like me is around!

I know! Instead of just going by the score, why don't we get the audience to judge too?

Wait, can we do that?

Great idea! This is going to be a good contest!

Everyone! Thank you so much for coming! We're going to have an in-game dance off in a second, and we need your help!

When they finish dancing, please clap for the one that you thought was better!

Let me hear you! Let's all enjoy dancing together!

(Eli makes it seem like the audience is doing it with her!)

So we can join in too, right?

Let's cheer for Eli and Karin!

Karin, let's have your performance first.

Karin, do your best!

I'm planning on it!

Eli's dancing is elegant, but the people like my sexy style! I'll win the crowd over.

Looking good, now turn!

(Karin hasn't missed a beat! This must be thanks to their extra tough practices lately.)

That's it!

Whew. How'd I do?

What a score! 96!

I knew you could do it, Karin. *Pat* *Pat*

That was amazing! Perfect!

*Chuckle* I can't wait to see what you got, Eli.

Then let's get started!

[Fade in/out.]

Jump, then a step!

(Eli isn't just staring at the screen. She's showing the crowd, too!)

What a nice smile.

Thank you, everyone!

Eli's dance was great!

The results are going to show up any second. Oh, she got a 96!

Wait, a tie?! They were both incredible, but that's surprising.

We still need the audience's opinion. We'll make that the final judgment.

Okay, let's have it. Who here thought Karin's performance was better?

(Everyone's smiling and cheering for Karin. Looks like they really enjoyed it.)

Well, I can't say I didn't expect that.

Okay, now for Eli. Who thought she performed better?

Wha… Holy moly!

I can't believe it… Thank you so much for the applause!

The audience is overwhelmingly in her favor. Everyone sure is honest.

That makes this one win for us!

Karin was so good though. Too bad.

Hahaha… Thanks. I thought it'd be a little closer than that.

Eli, thanks. I'm really glad I got to see you dance up close.

Me too! Looks like we'll be good rivals.

That makes it 1 - 1. Where are we going to do the next one?

Sorry, but I have something to take care of. You guys go on ahead.

Oh, but…

Come on, let's go. I'll take you.

Okay…

[Fade in/out.]

I was so confident.

If I can't win over the audience, I want to at least get a better score.

I have to work even harder.
