A Plan, a Blunder, and a Commotion. Believing that Aki and Shiho would be able to make up with each other if given the opportunity, Himari arranges a taste-testing session to get SSGIRLS and Laureley together. Upon learning that Himari and Yori are dating, however, Shiho suddenly adds a condition to her wager with Aki that Himari must become Laureley's manager until the day of the festival. Not wanting the wager to fall through, Himari agrees to the terms, with Shiho offering to grant her a request if she helps Laureley win. During the summer break, as the SSGIRLS get together to think up a new song to sing at the festival, Laureley make plans to take Himari with them to explain how they formed.
