That smug face... Holy smokes, honestly I love it.
I agree with everyone, and feel that Mimisuke's been set up to have a very shocking experience, but it's hard to say if it'll happen now, or if it'll carry on to blow up further ahead. Because she's ready, like the others, she practiced a lot, she's got great chemistry with her teammates, she's been humbled before, and what's been causing her to lose focus was her nervousness.
It makes me imagine two (very) unlikely scenarios, we have a bit of pull back focus from Mimi and have an arc for another two contestants (Koyuki feels like a given at this point), she does well or aces it, and that makes her arrogant going forward. Another is that she'll fumble to a point she'd be eliminated, but gets saved by the popularity vote.
Like
@Razsius, I think she'll fumble but self correct midway, maybe after a poor performance on day one, with Ibuki and Ritsu helping her get her head on the game.
Anyway, great chapter! I can't wait for the next one, tyvm for the scanlation!
