It’s clear that Mizuka loves the circus, but why she won’t perform?After Mitcher showed up out of nowhere, as he misses Mizuka, it reveals something why Mizuka won’t perform at least, without dangling a carrot with the promise of money. That is why Rin panics as Nanami tries to get back at Ouka for rejecting her offer by her attempt to destroy the Himawari Circus in her latest plan.

From last time, Mizuka got into a spat with Mitcher as she has no desire to perform. What Mitcher said about Mizuka not understanding the circus is about. Mizuka is like, “How dare he talk to me like that!” Well, there is more to that story.

Mitcher revealed the reason why. Mizuka wanted to only peform for Black Lotus, but her father shut it down before she can.The girls’ reaction after finding out the reason.The next morning, Mitcher revealed that Mizuka’s attitude to the circus currently is not what it used to be. He knows Mizuka loves the circus because she treated the troupe as a second family. She had the desire to perform with the Black Lotus troupe. Sadly, her father decided he couldn’t physically do it anymore and called it quits, which caused his daughter to hate him and basically treat him as if he didn’t exist. The reason makes sense, as most who go to see Black Lotus is to see him perform, not everyone else. It really shows when Mizuka would rather die than perform at other circuses. It has to be the Black Lotus Circus, or she won’t do it. That explains everything, as they felt bad for Mizuka.

Mitcher said that Mizuka never performed; she never understood the mindset of performing in one, as in having fun and seeing the audience smile. The only problem, she has to do it in front of the audience. The two other instances do not count as they force her against her will, and she only did it for money. It has to be genuine, of course.

Rin comes in to break the bad news.While they discuss how to teach Mizuka the true meaning of circus, Rin breaks the bad news as Sumeragi is playing dirty games again. Marika is losing hope that this could be the death blow to the Himawari Circus. After all, Nanami is not happy with Ouka turning down her offer, thus she wants to come in to destroy Himawari. Of course, Maria says that Rin is being too hard on herself, and she will take it up with the Circus Collection Association.

Ouka has a plan to save the circus.Funny how Mizuka stormed in without reading the room.Yep, she didn’t realize this was a serious situation.Mizuka challenges Mitcher and he takes it.Funny how when Ouka wants to come up with a strategy to deal with Sumeragi, it’s funny how Mizuka stormed in challenging Mitcher to a showdown. That when Mizuka wondered why the girls were so serious, but even after that, Mizuka didn’t plan to perform. Maria has to do something to what it takes to protect Himawari. Funny how Mitcher says that even if Mizuka performs, it won’t change anything. Funny how Mizuka and Mitcher bicker with each other when he ultimately agrees to having a showdown with Mizuka and has Ouka involved. If Mizuka wins, Mitcher will not only pay off her debt but let her perform in the next show. Funny how Mizuka will perform in the show if she wins. Reverse psychology works.

Well, he is not facing against her.Shizuku and her partner is facing off Mizuka.At this moment, Mitcher realized that he messed up.Shizuku and Svietlana gave a stunning performance.Did Mizuka lost?Well, they had to admit that Mizuka was the better performance, besides that smile.The funny thing is Mitcher won’t face off Mizuka directly. He has Shizuku and Svietlana take his place, and they are serious as they are performing with their costumes on. Mizuka, of course, wants to win, so they changed. While Mizuka keeps giving that forced smile, Mitcher realizes something about her. Of course, Shizuku and Svietlana gave an amazing performance. The funny thing is that the girls have to admit that Ouka’s and Mizuka’s is more amazing. As for Mizuka understanding the meaning of circus, is in her eyes, being able to master a trick that she couldn’t do before as being fun. At least she got one part correct, as Mitcher said Mizuka to stop making that forced smile. This causes Mizuka to become upset with him as she runs away. She becomes frustrated when she can’t get it at all.

The moment when Mitcher gave approval to Ouka’s relationship with Mizuka.Ouka will do everything to keep Mizuka on board.Will Nanami be successful in sabotaging Himawari for Ouka rejecting her?. We have to wait and see.In the end, Mitcher admits that the reason they failed her is that they never show the common-sense things professionals would do. Now, he entrusts Mizuka with Ouka, literally endorsing Ouka’s love for Mizuka to teach her that. That is why Nanami will risk anything to get Ouka, no matter what. I wonder why she is so willing to put everything on the line just to get back at her. Still, while Mizuka on the bus to their next destination looks so grumpy, Ouka is happy to help Mizuka to the special place, and if things don’t work out, she can leave. I have a feeling where this is going. She will finally do it, instead of just doing it for the money. The question is, will Nanami’s plan stop them in their tracks? We have to see next time.
