Summary[]
Ruby is scouted to be an underground idol, which raises red flags with Miyako and Aqua. The two then talk about their reservation of Ruby becoming an idol. While Miyako sympathizes with him, she cannot help but want to support Ruby's idol endeavor. Aqua decides to borrow one of their company business cards and heads out. Posing as a talent agent, he approaches an underground idol named Lara, who belongs to the group that scouted Ruby, in an attempt to find out more about what they're up against.
Aqua brings her to the Ichigo-Pro office, and along with Miyako, they ask Lara a series of questions concerning her terms and contract with her current idol company. Lara answers them with dark facts about the lead singer and their manager. After she leaves, Miyako and Aqua debrief over what they've learned. Aqua is more determined not to let Ruby join an idol group where members are willing to bad mouth the group, or with a manager that has a bad reputation.
On the day of Ruby's underground audition, Miyako asks if Ruby is sincerely serious about going through with it listing off negative aspects of being an idol. On the other hand, Ruby remains determined and obstinate toward any dissuasion Miyako gives. So Miyako counters her with a proposal, join Ichigo-Pro and their newly formed idol group.
