Final week ended with Otoha introducing Shiraya Tamaki to Lilisa and instructed her they’d be coming into a band battle in two weeks. They might have left it at that, however the present noticed match to point out us how this state of affairs got here to go. To my thoughts it spent slightly too a lot time with this, however suffice it to say they must win the battle towards Bitter Ganache, or Tamaki might be caught to that band eternally. Tamaki and Otoha additionally make a wager: if Tamaki isn’t captivated by Lily, Oto will go away Lily for Tamaki.
That leaves our Prince of Oushin the odd lady out. Her charms are wasted on Tamaki, who is simply moved by somebody rocking out with all they’ve bought. Poor Tamaki has by no means rocked! Reasonably than make getting her in form a gaggle effort, Oto and Tamaki go away Tina’s instruction to Lily, since she’s the one who invited Tina into the band. That appears a bit harsh at first, however I do imagine if anybody can get Tina into taking part in form for the band battle, it’s Lilisa. Staying out of it’s an act of confidence.
Tina is…not superb, however she is set to get higher, so she could be the keyboardist everybody needs her to be. She even begins performing extra aggressively and dramatically in public, solely making the opposite women fall for her more durable. On the similar time, it’s all Lily can do to maintain up with the soul-freezing bass taking part in of Tamaki. She has the sensation there’s one thing behind her scowl, however to this point it’s impenetrable, which makes it that a lot more durable for Lily to maintain up.
Even when the times to the battle begin to dwindle and Lily is ready to softly boot Tina from the band, when she sees Tina actually asleep on the keyboard, with bandages on her arms from working towards, she alters her thoughts. This reminds her of how bandaged her arms have been when she was studying guitar. However she does insist Tina not attempt to develop into one thing for anybody else, however change for her personal sake, and develop into who she needs to be.
Sadly, all the cautious nurturing and and encouragement Lily has achieved for Tina is shattered after the primary set with Tina included on the keyboard. We don’t get to listen to something, however the band abruptly stops and Tamaki flat out orders Lily to kick Tina out of the band. Tina’s response to that is heartbreaking, however it’s clear Tamaki hasn’t seen the OP or ED: Tina will be on this band, and she or he’s going to be nice! The one query is, how? Solely seven days stay till the battle.
