Summary[]
With her pop idol career on the line, enraged Yumemi seeks to ruin Yumeko after a scandalous voice recording is used as a bargaining chip.~THE END~
Plot[]
Yumemi invites the campus to witness the gamble that takes place after her in-school concert arranged by Kaede. Yumeko and Yumemi maneuver games designed to test their idol skills including dancing and singing. Yumemi deviously allows Yumeko to win several games to exacerbate her loss towards the end. For the final game they guess the birth months of the audience members, which is a crucial moment for Yumeko to avoid losing the entire gamble. Yumemi, having memorized the birthdays of her entire fan club, is confident in her victory, but panics when Yumeko manipulates the dice to choose Mary. Yumeko tricks Yumemi into writing '9' on her card when she wrote '6', but when Mary's birthday is revealed to be in March, Yumeko succeeds with her guess being three months closer, winning the bet.
Yumeko's recording of Yumemi loathing her fans is played to the audience; however, Yumemi's supporters remain loyal to her. Yumeko, pleased with Yumemi's conviction, reveals that someone attempted to sabotage Yumemi's career by sending her the torn fan letter along with the challenge match. Yumemi then publicly accuses Kaede as the only plausible culprit for running the match with her. Kaede denies any wrongdoing and announces his plans to be the next President of the Student Council. Yumeko suggests they gamble to decide who is lying, declaring it an official match that Kaede cannot refuse.
