Momoha is watching a video of Nano's performance while wondering how to make her moves as sharp as Nano's. It occurs to her to simply ask her, but Nano tells her that she simply memorized the moves. She suggests that Momoha not focus on anything and clear her mind so that she can only focus on moving.
Momoha tries, but keeps thinking about booze. Nano suggests that she consult a doctor.
Karane becomes embarrassed when Ahko says she wishes she could dance as "cooly-cute" as Karane, but tells Ahko that her dancing is pretty cute as it is. Ahko is happy with the compliment, but continues to point out that she's aiming for cooly-cute, so Karane takes the hint.
Suu shows Iku where she keeps messing up and asks the sporty Iku for pointers. Ideally, ones that don't mention "hard work", "guts", or "butts". Iku agrees, but it's hard to avoid those topics when there isn't anything else in your head.
Tama finishes up her moves for Hahari to judge, but Hahari is simply cooing over how cute Tama is. Tama performs her moves again with the same result.
Momiji asks for advice from Kurumi, who is concerned until Momiji reveals that she's having trouble focusing during practice with how much the others are swaying their bodies around. Momiji asks how Kurumi dealt with her own cravings (since all that exercise surely made her hungry). Kurumi says that she stuffed herself until she couldn't eat anymore. Momiji decides to grope until she can't anymore, starting with Kurumi.
Rin is struggling to keep her body matching the rhythm. Mimimi suggests that Rin imagine herself floating with the music notes. Rin does so... and promptly imagines herself being stabbed by one of them.
Kusuri notices Kishika watching her performance and smugly offers her advice. Annoyed, Kishika denies needing her help. Kusuri notes that it's not very chivalric to spurn your seniors. This prompts Kishika to beg Kusuri for advice while their two classmates from Chapter 125 look on.
Mei is coaching Mai, but expresses confusion that accidents happen more when she's the one teaching her. Mai confesses that she can't take her eyes off of Mei. Mei slaps herself before continuing the lesson. Not wanting Mei to take her screw-ups out on herself, Mai dances like her life depends on it.
Hakari relates to Yamame's difficulty moving her body, especially since her breasts are so big. She decided to change the timing so she'd stay on tempo. Hakari then starts directing Yamame with breast metaphors.
Kishika is amazed at how much Uto is sweating, but Uto explains that exercise has never been her forte, which Shizuka can relate to. The two bond and perform a ballroom dance together. While cute, a ballroom dance is not part of the performance.
Yaku, knowing that Naddy also struggles with English, wonders how she manages to sing English lyrics. Naddy simply parrots back what she hears, so Yaku decides to try that, too. Unfortunately, she hasn't actually been hearing it correctly.
Chiyo tries to reassure Eira, who can't take out anxiety with a kick. She suggests writing a kanji character on her hand, then "swallowing" it for good luck. Eira is keen to try it out, but Hahari mishears her and gets the wrong idea.
Himeka asks Meme if there's anything in her performance that needs improving, but the starstruck Meme isn't sure how to give advice on how to improve. She did think Himeka's hands were slightly misaligned, but she's probably overanalyzing. Himeka asks Mimimi what she thought, but her "critique" isn't helpful.
Meme finally speaks up and tells Himeka her honest thoughts. Himeka thanks her, but Mimimi isn't sure what just happened.
End chapter.
Tropes:
- I Will Punish Your Friend for Your Failure: Mei decides to slap whoever is responsible for distracting Mai during practice. Since she keeps getting distracted by Mei, the friend in question getting punished is herself.
