Actors Aqua uses his skills to set the scene up for Kana’s performance by ad-libbing some of his performance, using the environment, and riling up the lead actor to make his actions look more genuine. This gives Kana the opportunity to show off her true acting skills, which earns the praise of the people still watching the show. At Sweet Today‘s wrap party, Aqua meets Kaburagi again, now knowing he is not his father thanks to a paternity test. Kaburagi mentions that he knows about someone Ai had been spending time with in secret, and offers to tell Aqua who it is in return for starring in a reality dating show. Some time later, Aqua and Ruby attend their first day at Youtou High School, where Ruby befriends fellow student and gravure model Minami Kotobuki. She introduces Minami to Aqua, and also mentions that the famous professional entertainer Frill Shiranui is also a member of her class, who she idolizes. Aqua introduces himself to Frill, and she recognizes both him and Minami from their respective works. This makes Ruby self conscious about the fact that she does not have an established place in the entertainment industry yet. She pesters Miyako about Strawberry Productions moving forward with forming their idol group, but Miyako points out that it is not easy for a small company like theirs to recruit idols. Aqua then suggests that they recruit Kana.
