This makes 900.
I just need 100 more to secure Tamon-kun's victory.
Cleaning Made Easy
Work's calling me?
Hello, this is Kinoshita.
Oh, Kinoshita-san?
I know this is sudden, but are you free tomorrow afternoon?
Yes! I will take on all the work to financially support Tamon-kun!
Well, that's good.
Someone personally asked for you, so good luck.
Huh? Someone asked for me?
Who, though?
You're here.
Wha—
Ouri Sakaguchi AKA Gorilla!
If I become the center, come over to me!
I accept.
What do you want? The winner hasn't been decided yet.
What's with that attitude?
I'm the customer here.
This is a separate matter.
H-Hey!
By the way...
Is this place your...
This is my parents' place.
I'm not made to live in such a cramped and filthy apartment like that.
More importantly...
Are you going out with him?
Huh? With whom?
Tamon.
Me? Go out with Tamon-kun?
I wuv you.
I know.
What?!
Tamon-kun would never settle for one girl.
He's someone who's eventually going to make all of humanity his girlfriends.
Disparage him again, and I'll turn you into dust for your sacrilege.
Knock it off with that weird aura.
If you're not, it's fine. That's all I wanted to know.
Now, leave.
You called me all the way here to ask me that?!
Please don't waste our time... Huh?
Hey, wait! Huh?
Sakaguchi-san?!
Hey!! It's just like sweeet magic!! Aha!
Hi, it's me! The one with that killer smile!
Stealing your gaze with a shocking style!
Smooth as ever, I escort you
And this voice, seducing you
Ah, come on, let's dance; I'm aiming straight for your heart
I am your ace darlin'
Confidence? Yeah, I've got plenty
Please Please
Whisper just to me, call my name
You're too popular, it drives me crazy and I'm not okay
But I'm sorry, losing's not my thing
Hey, girl
Look this way!
I see your smile, smile, smile, I wanna make it all mine
Crash, crash, crash, our special connection shines
Dance, dance, our world is non-stop groovin'
I'll show you my perfect A-side, side, side
And my private B-side, side, side; I'll show you everything
So take my hand and let's roll
Sweet Sweet Sweet magic!!
Sweetie honey Sweetie honey
It's a spell that makes your heart race
We can't go back
You're falling in love with me, c'mon!
Sweetie honey
Sweet Sweet Sweet magic!!
It's hot... That's cold!
Are you awake?
Wh-What are you doing here?!
Also, don't just put a cooling pad on me! You don't know me like that!
Two of the five of the rounds to determine the center have ended
5th
4th
3rd
and Tamon-kun and Ouri-kun are currently tied for first place.
1st
No one knows how it's going to end just yet.
And currently...
I told you to leave!
A nursing event activated.
And it's not even with my oshi.
How could I leave when you literally collapsed right on me?
When were talking earlier,
you thought that Gloomyhara-san and I were in a special relationship,
and you summoned me here to find out the truth.
What else was I supposed to do?
I had no other way of contacting you.
Well, no matter the reason,
I did all I could in the allotted time since I came here for work.
Wha—But why?
I thought you hated me.
This is my job.
Hey...
Come back tomorrow.
Please make your appointments over the phone.
Well, please take care.
I'm exhausted since his house was so big.
Next, I have to go to Gloomyhara-san's place...
Am I nervous?
I haven't seen Gloomyhara-san since the summer festival.
I saw various sides of him that I'd never seen before...
so I...
Uta-chan.
Hngh!
I'm sure that was just Hottiehara-san peeking through!
Kill me now.
Thank goodness it's just business as usual.
Kinoshita-san... Did you go to Ouri-kun's place?
H-How did you know?
Me
She came over.
Look.
Ouri-kun told me.
Why would he tell Tamon-kun that?
He's asked me to come by again tomorrow,
so I'll go by and take care of him...
Is Ouri-kun sick?!
Huh? You didn't know?
He didn't come to rehearsals today.
He just said he was taking the day off.
Did he just not want us to know he was weakened?
He's like some wild animal.
Is he all right?
His parents were apparently abroad, so they weren't home,
but I'll go see how he's doing again tomorrow.
You just focus on yourself, Gloomyhara-san.
Right.
Your fever's gone up since yesterday.
It has not!
It has.
Nuh-uh!
Gloomyhara-san was worried about you.
Don't talk about him.
Just like Tamon-kun,
I bet Ouri-kun's under a lot of pressure during this competition for the center.
Can those two just not get along?
Huh?
Pardon me.
Gloomyhara-san?!
What the hell are you doing here?!
I came to see how you're doing.
White Sugar
I know you like sweet things, but I didn't know exactly what.
I don't want any! That's not even funny! Leave!
White Sugar
Oh, okay. I'll return to the earth now.
Please stop!
He was just scared you'd yell at him for picking the wrong thing.
So annoying!
Usually, you'd avoid me like the plague, so what gives?
Well, you've never had to skip rehearsals because you were sick before,
so I got worried...
Oho? So you came here because you were concerned about me?
If that's true, then put yourself to work.
Hmph. For my sake.
I've been to bigger homes for work a number of times,
but this is the first one with a pool.
This is my first time coming over, so I'm also surprised.
Um...
How exactly do you feel about Sakaguchi-san, Gloomyhara-san?
He scares me.
Ouri-kun hates me.
But... I can't blame him.
When I came out to Tokyo to audition and was basically a lost, little puppy,
Ouri-kun was the one who taught me all kinds of things.
Audition Venue
Today's venue is over there.
Th-Thank you very much.
You can be my minion.
Ask me anything.
Okay!
And yet...
In first place is...
Tamon Fukuhara!
Huh?
I figured I couldn't hold anything he said to me against him.
I'd even be willing to give up the center spot to him.
But lately, something's different.
I've been feeling like there must be some other way...
That's what I thought when I heard that Ouri-kun wasn't feeling well.
I don't like having to compete with Ouri-kun when he's not at his best.
I think I sort of understand why Ouri-kun's so irritated with me.
So this time...
I'm not holding back.
An... angel?
Whoa!
Quit your useless yappin' and get to work!
Ouri-kun.
Please get over your cold as soon as possible.
Because I'll defeat you with everything I have.
That's some big talk.
This time, I'll make sure I crush you so hard that there'll be nothing left.
Go out in a blaze of glory.
I-I'm not going out!
What? Who do you think you are, huh?!
Um, I am older than you, you know...
You got a problem?
You should be in bed.
Uta
Shut up! Don't tell me what to do!
That's cold!
Hey! Come back here, you dumb minion!
I'm not your minion...
What? I made you one when we first met.
And so, their battle continued...
P-Please don't spray me with water.
Utage Kinoshita
I'll just keep doing it!

For some reason, we had perfectly copied Tamon-kun's dance
and shot a dance cover video.
First appearance!
The final battle is going to be a singing battle.
Ah, it's F/ACE!
It'll all come down to their abilities.
I wonder who's going to win center.
It's gotta be Tamon-kun.
F/ACE's Battle for the Center
Starting at 3:30PM Saturday
N Station Summer Fes Begins!!
There's news regarding the popular group F/ACE,
as the final results of their competition for center
will be announced live at the N Station Summer Fes venue.
Thank you again for today.
It was nothing. Please excuse me.
Tamon-kun looks so relieved after talking to Ouri-kun.
I'm so glad that he seems to be in good spirits.
Huh?
Tamon-kun
I guess she forgot this.
Thanks for the other day, I guess.
Don't worry about it. It looks like you're feeling better now.
Of course, I am! You saw the third round, didn't you?
And how brilliantly I won!
Well, Tamon-kun won the fourth round.
So what?
The last competition is a singing one.
I'm gonna leave everyone else in my dust and win!
But...
I don't like having to compete with Ouri-kun when he's not at his best.
Please...
do your best until the very end.
Tamon-kun
You...
I'm sure that Tamon-kun will be happy if Ouri-kun is able to do his best.
Please be careful not to catch a cold again.
I'll take back our agreement from before.
Huh?
But...
If I win, be my fan.
Tamon
Then...
We all belong to the Church of Tamon
If Tamon-kun wins, please become his fan!
I don't need this crap!
Take that!
How dare you?!
Hey!
RAIN—rain is falling
You're still here?
I'm sorry. I just wanted to practice a little longer.
You sure are working hard, but don't overdo it.
Yes, sir.
He's asleep.
Gloomyhara-san, who lives his life always cowering over something,
Mostly lives in a corner
is asleep in front of someone completely unguarded? What in the world?!
But you know...
After taking a break on his eyelashes,
you could probably use his cheeks as a slide.
We live in the same dimension, so how is this one person so high-res?!
Everyone who lines up next to Tamon-kun is basically reduced to pixel art!
In a different world, he might've been sentenced to death from beauty harassment!
I wonder if this is what it'd be like if Cleopatra reincarnated as a hot guy.
But... his face seems paler than usual somehow.
Hm?
Don't push yourself too hard.
Please do your best until the very end.
There is definitely something resting on my back right now.
There's no way that it's Tamon-kun, is there?
"Things like that only happen in your dreams."
That's what Imaginary Gramma always used to say.
Wait. Did I fantasize so much that I'm not just seeing them, but also feeling them?
Because I got too excited seeing my oshi asleep? Oh, shit.
Wait. Tamon-kun's working so hard! This isn't the time to be fantasizing!
Utage, you need to get to work!
Tomorrow's finally the last battle.
N Station Summer Fes 8/15

Everything will be decided soon.
Tamon
Please...
Tamon
Let Tamon-kun be rewarded for all his hard work.
Aw man...
I totally would've had a chance
Currently in 4th Place Natsuki Ishibashi
if we didn't have that weird physical competition.
Could we not do something so outdated?
Currently in 5th Rintaro Kai
Quit moping about it.
They said there'd be bonus points depending on how we ranked
in today's competition, remember?
Currently in 2nd Keito Tachibana
There's still a chance you can turn this around.
Must be nice to be so calm in second place.
I wouldn't say I'm calm at all.
Oh?
Good morning, Tamon.
What's up? It's rare for you to be late.
Good... morning...
Huh?
Your voice is all raspy! What happened?!
Oh, Ouri.
Morning.
Good morning...
Huh?!
You'll all be singing the new song "RAIN" in full today.
I'm sure you've all practiced your hearts out.
Make sure you give it your all so you won't have any regrets.
You've got this, Tamon-kun!
Let the final battle to determine the center begin!
Singing Expert
Way to go, Tamon-kun! He definitely secured the center with that!
Unlike the first round, it actually sounded
like he was singing a ballad about heartbreak, didn't it?!
Yeah! He did his best and was shining!
It actually seemed like he was holding back his radiance...
He's never sung like that before, has he?
but it also seemed like he wasn't doing that well.
We saw another new side of Tamon!
Right?
No! As Tamon-kun's fan, I need to believe in him!
All five episodes have concluded without issue.
The results are as I just told you.
The new song's pre-release at N Station's Summer Fes is just around the corner.
I need you all to start practicing
the parts you've been assigned immediately.
Also...
Ouri, Tamon!
What was that miserable display?!
You might've fooled the viewers,
but you can't deceive me or the judges!
Are you really the same two that competed for first and second at the audition?
Practicing too much and overwork are both signs of failure!
To become the best in the world,
you need to perform at 2,000% at any time!
F/ACE doesn't need any imperfections!
There's so much fan merch!
I'm gonna get this pink one.
Victory
Hey look at this one. Obviously a must-buy.
Hm...
The more I rewatch it, the more it looks like he wasn't doing very well.
What am I going to do if Tamon-kun doesn't become the center?
I wonder how Gloomyhara-san's feeling right about now...
I hope he's not all depressed from doomscrolling for his name.
Have you been eating something other than cup noodles?
Have you been sleeping in your bed?
Let's make a banner, too!
We were allowed to bring those in, right?
Yeah, we can this time!
Heck yeah! Now, then...
You're not obsessing... and crying again, are you?
I never worried like this before meeting Gloomyhara-san...
Am I... a failure as a fan?
You usually just practice exactly as you're told to
without saying anything about how you feel...
Yet you choose now to act up and self-destruct?
How stupid are you?
Yeah, but... you didn't do well this time either, Ouri-kun.
Shut up! I always sorta choke when it counts!
I tried too hard and basically imploded.
Meaning, it's all your fault.
What?
And what happened to you?
There are even more people supporting me now...
and that made me happy.
At the same time, I got overwhelmed with the feelings
of absolutely not wanting to fail or betray them.
It's weird.
The more they're nice to me, the more happy and scared I become.
I start to wonder what I'll do if I ever lose them...
and then I get scared again.
Gross.
There are going to be some fans who drift away.
And there'll be some fans who won't.
There's no point in thinking about something so obvious.
I just don't get it.
I thought I understood that in my head...
But maybe I just thought I understood.
All those kind words and yet...
What the heck am I even doing?
How long are you gonna dwell on what happened in the past?

Tamon FTW
Wow, I think most of the people here are here for F/ACE.
I'm starting to get nervous!
We're finally going to learn the results.
Thank you all for waiting!
The competition to decide the center has finally reached its conclusion!
We'll find out which member is the center with today's performance!
Tamon-kun! You've got this!
He always sparkles onstage and presents us with a dream...
I love that Tamon-kun lets us escape reality.
But behind that, exists a very real Tamon-kun...
This is F/ACE with "RAIN."
With raindrops soaking my shoulders
I even forgot that I'd forgotten my umbrella somewhere
You did it, Keito!
Why, though?!
Ah, the brightness shines on my emptiness
Loneliness melts away my resentment
The one who stresses out, gets depressed, fails...
That day I met you
And cries his eyes out a lot...
And the day we both got drenched in the rain
Tamon-kun didn't make it...
Even then, he didn't run away in the end.
The rain I knew—
No way... This can't be real...
And now that I know that about him...
Was it always
Tamon-kun will always be the center in my heart
This cold?
I just can't help but be even more devoted to him.
Tamon-kun will always be the center in my heart
I realize it only now
RAIN starts falling
Washing everything away
Why couldn't I realize it back then?
The sky in a morning without you— so carelessly clear
Tamon-kun will always be the center in my heart
The RAIN won't stop
Under the sky, I start running
Ouri Love
Tamon Love
It's a new start - My days with you
I tuck them into my heart and now I take a new step forward
Thank you for being there
RAIN—rain is falling
