After Otoha talked down Lilisa’s guitar-playing skills during their session, Lilisa wanted to avoid her for obvious reasons. Of course, Otoha is not letting up, as she has a strong interest in her.
Lilisa elegantly entered school as she pondered what had happened the previous day. She is annoyed by Otoha talking crap about her guitar playing, saying it’s garbage. Thankfully, one of her students walked up to speak with her. She hid her emotions. That is, Otoha shows up in Lilisa’s classroom for her display. Of course, one of her classmates wonders about Lilisa’s relationship with Otoha. While Lilisa denies ties with Otoha, Otoha seems to be in a relationship. Lilisa becomes embarrassed.
She eventually talks with Otoha, saying she made her classmates believe they were in a strange relationship. Furthermore, Lilisa doesn’t want to deal with her or play guitar again since it would look bad from her family’s perspective. However, Otoha intends to keep that part a secret and thanks her for collaborating in the most angelic way possible. Lilisa almost fell for it but resisted it. She also apologizes for insulting
That said, Lilisa gave a perfect English reading. Although she lies about learning English from studying in Italy, the girls ask how she perfected her English. She mentions said from listening to western rock from bands like Red Hot Chili Peppers.
After she realized her mistake, she said from musicals and stage plays like “The Phantom of the Opera.” After that embarrassment, she went into the bathroom, pondering her big mistake, when Otoha was in the next stall. That is until Otoha said she liked Red Hot Chili Peppers and Linkin Park. Lilisa freaks out when Otoha says she has a lot in common. The funny thing is that Lilisa starts avoiding her as Otoha tries to get close to her. I find it amusing how she hides from her before heading back home.
At home, Lilisa had her violin lessons. Her violin playing is terrible, and the teacher scolds her. She pales in comparison to Lilisa’s younger step-sister, Alice. Alice somehow hates Lilisa’s guts as she continues to practice. After all, she aims to become a Noble Maiden and has to perfect the violin. That is until Otoha wanting to do another collaboration bothers her.
Lilisa wondered the next day why Otoha hadn’t bothered her at all. Somehow, she shows up when Lilisa wants to talk to Yukari, the student council president. Lilisa also aims to get closer to her in her quest to become a Nobile Maiden. Of course, Otoha interrupted and introduced Lilisa, the new transfer student, before she could introduce herself. That is until Lilisa had lunch with Otoha. As expected, Otoha keeps asking her to do another session, and Lilisa rejects and tells her to stop following her. Otoha still wants to get closer as Lilisa becomes annoyed and walks away.
That is until Lilisa realizes she still has that pick. After the tea ceremony class, she wondered why Otoha was obsessed with the drums. After Lilisa comes to the music room, she seems happy to see Lilisa again. She eventually reveals why she likes playing the drums. Otoha finds playing it fun, and she wants to collaborate with Lilisa.
Lilisa seems annoyed since it’s not okay for ladies to play rock, given all the sacrifices she has made to chase her life as a lady. Eventually, Lilisa can’t resist her temptation to play guitar again, so she decides to take her on and prove herself. Can she prevail? Well, we’ll find out next time.
(Also known as Rock Is a Lady’s Modesty)
Loved the entire Lilisa trying to escape Otoha story throughout the episode. We also understood Otoha’s outburst is just what happens after she’s in the zone.
Alice looked like she had major issues. I at least knew it was out of resentment toward her new family.
