Ep. 11: Kongming and Karasawa compete for likes using QR codes and performances at Shibuya 109

11

Kongming and Azalea initiate strategies to acquire 100,000 likes. Karasawa intends for Azalea to host a surprise concert at Shibuya 109, distributing a QR code for a million yen giveaway that would also boost Azalea's popularity. However, Kongming anticipates this move and instructs Eiko to perform an Azalea song at the same venue first. By displaying his own QR code, Kongming tricks fans into awarding Eiko 70,000 likes before the deception is revealed. When Azalea arrives to perform, Nanami recognizes Eiko as a rival and becomes anxious. Although Kongming considers a stratagem to divide Azalea, he respects Eiko's friendship with Nanami and alters his approach. He has Kabetaijin perform a rap accusing Azalea of being fake, while his supporters spread rumors that the real Azalea are impostors. This halts Azalea's likes at 98,000, leaving Eiko ready to use her singing to break the stalemate.
