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 newbies.

Hmph. These newbies took four wins from you. I'll show you that the great μ's aren't anything special after all.

Stop it, you two.

So what are you going to do to contest your idol powers?

We're going to have a comprehensive contest to test our true idol abilities! Great idea for the final contest, huh?

How do we decide who wins?

Idols are watched by many people. In order to test our 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 you get, and viewers will vote on who's better.

So whoever is cuter wins, huh? *Giggle* You thought up a great contest for us.

Our character themes will be pulled out of a box, one by one. Hey, pull for us.

Wait, me?

You're not in the competing lineup, so I'm letting you pick as a special favor. Go on, take one.

Okay…there we go.

Thanks! *Giggle* I'm looking forward to this one.

[Fade in/out.]

The stream is about to start. Are you both ready?

Yup! I'm ready to go when you are!

I'll show you the power of super idol Nico!

You two are really into it. I can't wait to see how this turns out.

Okay, let's start. The ninth contest's live stream…is live!

Hello everyone! It's me, your favorite idol Nico! Thanks for watching!

I'm Kasumin! This is my first stream with μ's Nico! My heart is pounding!

Today, Kasumin and I are practicing our self-introductions. Please let us know who you thought was cuter!

I practiced a lot of different styles, so please watch!

The first theme is “like a little sister.” You first, Kasumin. Do your best!

Ugh, I got goosebumps. *Cough* Okay, I'll start!

Nice to meet you, I'm Kasumin. I'm good at cooking.

Ohmygosh, I actually said it all right! Will you reward me with a pat on the head?

Cooking? It's not a lie, I guess. Her bread rolls are to die for.

She pulled off that character with ease.

I'm next. Here I go!

My name? You should already know my name. Come on, at least remember it!

All right, listen. My name is…Nico!

What's so little sister about that?

U-Uhh… It was tsundere. There are lots of little sisters in the world.

The little sister character is deep.

The next theme is “rapping”! Sounds hard, right? Gotta do our best though! Kasumin, go for it!

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!

W-Way to go. I won't let you best me though!

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 wooo!

They're both really into it.

Don't you think rapping has a lot of puns? For rhyming and stuff I guess.

Now, onto the next one!

[Fade in/out.]

Okay everyone, that was all the styles! We honestly want everyone to watch more, but that's all we have for today. Sorry!

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 sucked”

Wait, what? There's a weird option in there.

I got some good advice about including that, but I know none of you will pick it.

Okay, let the voting begin!

[Fade in/out.]

Ummm… The result of the ninth contest is…a tie!

…

Nico got 1%, Kasumi got 1%, 3% chose both, and the rest chose option 4.

I can't say I didn't see that coming.

Whyyyyyyy! I don't get it! Did everyone watching have holes for eyes or something?!

Nico, you set this up, didn't you?! I would never get a low rating like 1% otherwise! What have you done?!

Calm down, the both of you. This is the judgment that has been passed down by the viewers. If you want to complain–

It's your fault, Umi! I added that choice because you told me to consider all the options!

What?! You're blaming ME?!

Man, this is getting out of control.

But if it's a tie, what do we do?

Good question.

Right, that means we're still tied in the overall competition.
