Ritsu immediately looking for her wife.

That's some serious trust you have in our girl there Aria but Mimi's competition isn't exactly fair here now is it? You know she can't NOT accept the quest. It's not in her character and even if she could it would affect her performance but if she does it makes it that much harder for herself (see: Tsumugi). You're looking for a successor aren't you?

it requires a lot of effort out of mimi, but, in return, she gets to prove herself. not just to aria, even tot he viewer who isn't aware of the secret quest. it's her chance to show off her skill in leadership.

actually pretty surprised at Aria saying they won't mention Anon's mother's death. that is reality TV gold it's free drama and easily able to push Anon's popularity a lot. I'm actually more likely to believe that they're just straight up lying to Mimi so she won't mention it to anyone else. I mean, if overcoming her mother's death is gonna be a significant part of the upcoming arc, then how would they even be able to hide that?

Even if Mimi seems to be a reliable young woman, she's still really young, so it's quite the burden that she's receiving from Aria.

I don't think Aria is even thirty yet so they're basically all kids to me. Regardless, Mimi is also exactly the person I would bring this topic up with. She's constantly working harder for her team than for herself, but that hard work is always very broad, so giving her a more focused task will help her prioritize where her efforts should go towards

their concern isn't just the reality show. they need a good relationship with them in case they win because then they'll be working with them professionally. to that end, they'd seek consent from participants for revealing personal details about them.

I think the primary reason is because Aria has been shown to care about Anon a lot and actually have the highest expectations for her. Even the first time she wrote about Anon she noted that even without becoming idol Anon have the greatest potential to be a singer. Also Anon behaviour resemble younger Aria supposedly and we know both of them have mommy issue as well. That's why I think Aria wouldn't reveal anything that might hurt Anon to the public..... TOKUTARO PLEASE DRAW BOTH OF THEM AS IF THEY ARE MOTHER AND DAUGHTER. PREFERABLY WITH MICROBIKINI

MImi getting served up another girl on a platter lol. It's both unfair and hilarious from an outside perspective.

Excellent Ritsu expressions this chapter

 

[yanderecoverl]

We should get more teasing with Ibuki and mimisuke together before they start on this finale tbh

 

[Tuna_Kaslana]

Thanks for the translation! Mimi seems to be adding more names on the growing list.

on the side note, I saw SHHis, me glad

 

[Kaguya-Sama]

Aria really is planning to make Mimisuke the final idol group leader huh... She is subtle as hell unlike her brother but she has at least made a decision on Mimisuke.

Mimi and Anon both staring into the ocean, being all brooding and cool
