At Cafe Vinyl, Saori and Haruna complain about their respective units' antics while Aoi expresses discontent with being late for Rondo's meetings due to her fans (which especially peeves Tsubaki). When Saori questions her place in Merm4id, Aoi consoles her by emphasizing her importance to the group before explaining Haruna's value to Lyrical Lily. In return, the two reassure Aoi about the bond between Rondo's members. The three eventually receive texts from their units and leave.
