At the same time, Chika sees rows and rows of other tablets by many other school idols wishing to win Love Live. When Saint Snow comes to show their support, Sarah asks Chika, ""Do you want to win?""

Later, the third-years hand over a notebook containing the idea for a difficult dance formation that caused Mari to get injured in the past. What makes them Aqours...? What is their shine...?

So she tries hard to get close to the first- and second-years while they're all working in an aquarium. However...

When they have no choice but to choose either the qualifiers or the school open house, the answer Chika comes up with is...
