Episode 4.0 AXiS Chapter 2 Summary
Basically, everyone was still in shock at what happened at the live. Shizuka also revealed that AXiS was all over social media. Not only that, the mass media wrote that AXiS, with their impromptu live, was saving 777 Sisters from a technical problem, the complete opposite of what happened. Sui was like, ‘what's with them copying 7th,’ but Rona said that Seventh had never ruined someone else's live (she was backed up by Susu on this). Hime couldn’t accept that and stormed out, followed by Sui.
After that, Shihainin and Coney arrived. Coney said that they couldn’t do anything yet, because they didn’t have enough information, and thus should thread carefully because AXiS' level was beyond what they had seen before; they had the power to compel the mass media, were able to open Egg Dome Hall, use a sky dome and so on, which meant something big was backing them.
Coney then asked the others about Nero. She had heard a bit about Nero from Shihainin, and now wanted to ask the others' opinion. Sawara said she was beautiful, very beautiful but it felt like a beauty that can cut you down. Musubi added that there was something else other than anger or pain in her, as if she had died once before. Anyway, with that, Shihainin said they would do a Nanastar live stream later since that was the only thing they could do at the moment. Coney noticed Hime wasn’t there and when the others said Hime had went out to AXiS' agency, Coney and Shihainin quickly went after her.
Outside the AXiS agency’s building, Coney and Shihainin managed to catch up to Hime and Sui, and right then Nero came out and coldly greeted them. Hime was like, ‘how could you do that, don’t you care that someone is hurt,’ to which Nero replied like, ‘Ain’t that fine, as long as it sells. Plus, I was only doing what Seventh did.’ Nero was greeting Coney as she addressed the girls, calling her "Senpai" [mentor/teacher/role model] while saying that this is ‘Seventh's curse’. Nero said (to Coney) that she had “learned everything from you... to stand ‘On the top’”. After that, Nero left, and Coney and co. were escorted off the premises by security staff.
After that Coney scolded Hime harshly, saying, what if the mass media had caught what she did. Coney said that that would have put an end to everyone else's work, and said to ‘imagine one person's deed erasing what everyone else had fought for.’ Hime shouted back that she knew, but she couldn’t help it, and screamed to Coney ‘Why don’t you start laughing and say everything will be fine again?’ and asked her why she didn’t do anything. Coney couldn’t answer. The scene ended with dark clouds looming over Tokyo-7th, with a typhoon about to come.
Days later 777 Sisters, still pretty gloomy, would do the Nanastar live. Shihainin was like, ‘this is the only thing we can do so let’s do our best!’ Right when they were about to start, and Haru was about to explain what had happened at the previous live, suddenly another blackout happened, and AXiS came up again in hologram form. They started to say, something along the lines of ‘so sorry you can’t see 777 Sisters, they're in such a bind with this technical problem; we may not suffice but hey, listen to our song...’ and on that abrupt note episode 2 ended.
