So, it turns out that Koga is pretty much like Shou who is after Ren’s position. Apparently, he hates any girls who like Ren beyond his looks. ^^; Unlike before, Kyouko’s typical response has backfired on her. But then, who would have thought that Koga is actually like that.
That is bad news for Kyouko especially since he is one of the judge and the lead actor. Koga will be biased against her like Kimiko’s uncle is. And, will make things difficult for her during the filming. In this audition, her partner-Chidori won’t be Kanae. I’m not sure Kanae can give a hint to Kyouko on what it was all about though.
For now, Kimiko has the upper hand in this part of the audition. She might have seen through Kyouko’s denial in some way. I’m likely to believe that ring is a lie to falter Kyouko. Based on how cocky Kimiko was at the end, it was like her plan/gamble worked. Kyouko wasn’t listening and too bad, Kyouko will have to act first.
By the way, is this last leg of the audition? Haha, I forgot. There are only two Momoji left but iirc, there are three Chidori. With whom is Kimiko/Kanae going to be paired off with? I’m thinking that if Kyouko failed in this one, it will be a tie so there will be one more audition. [Edit: It turns out that this is a Chidori audition as mentioned by Brittany. ^^;]
:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:
One thing is for certain, thanks to Kimiko, Kyouko will now know how to feel and act towards Chidori as Momiji. The jealousy and hatred that Kyouko is trying to keep bottled up as she acts cool towards Ren’s possible love life will come out/explode here. I might feel sorry for the Chidori actress. ^^;
Hehe, in a way, what Kyouko felt is probably the same with what Ren felt when he saw that picture of Shou kissing Kyouko. Of course, Ren might be able to hide it better than Kyouko since Yashiro noticed that something is off based on her expression.
If Kyouko had told Yashiro about it, Yashiro would have done some damage control since he knows whom Ren really likes. It seems that Yashiro is investigating something here. Was it Lory whom he is reporting, too? That might be another reason why he offered to be Kyouko’s manager at this time.

Anyway, I’m glad that Kyouko won’t easily just be pair up with Kanae and win the audition. Kimiko’s purpose in this arc is coming out – the perceived (by Kyouko) crush of Ren. Now, Kyouko has a reason why she MIGHT team up with Erika to put Kimiko in her place.
Because of how Koga was acting, I did wish that Ren snatched the role back from him. ^^; I thought, don’t worry, ‘Tsuruga Ren’ really doesn’t exist and he won’t be in Japan anymore soon. He will be going on a bigger stage so eat your heart out. =P
As usual, the mangaka usually gives the characters what they deserve later on so I’ll just wait for it to happen. As for that misunderstanding regarding the kiss and ring, that might lead to a romantic progress between the two since they will have to clarify and possibly slip as to who they really love ^^
