Tamon and Oris, two members of the popular idol group F/ACE, have a long-standing rivalry that has been portrayed as a mere fan-service facade. However, as the showdown progresses, their relationship begins to evolve into a true friendship. Tamon starts acting oddly, and it is revealed that he has overheard Utage, another member of the group, encouraging Ori. This leads Tamon to question whether Utage's favorite singer could be jealous of him.

Tamon's jealousy is understandable. He has always been in the shadow of Utage, who is the lead singer and the most popular member of the group. Tamon has worked hard to improve his skills and become a better performer, but he has never been able to match Utage's success. He feels that he is constantly being overshadowed and that his efforts are not being recognized.

Utage, on the other hand, is a kind and supportive person who has always been there for Tamon. She has encouraged him to pursue his dreams and has been a source of inspiration for him. She has never shown any signs of jealousy towards Tamon and has always been supportive of his efforts.

However, Tamon's jealousy is causing him to act out in ways that are not healthy. He is becoming distant from his bandmates and is not performing as well as he used to. He is also starting to doubt his abilities and his worth as a member of the group.

Oris, who is also a close friend of Tamon's, is concerned about his behavior. She knows that Tamon is a talented singer and performer, and she wants to help him overcome his jealousy. She encourages him to talk to Utage and to work through his feelings.

Utage, when confronted with Tamon's jealousy, is surprised and hurt. She has never intended to make Tamon feel jealous and has always been supportive of him. She explains to him that she loves him as a friend and as a bandmate and that she wants to see him succeed.

Tamon is initially hesitant to accept Utage's explanation, but he eventually comes to realize that he has been acting out of insecurity. He apologizes to Utage and to his bandmates and promises to work harder to improve his skills and become a better performer.

As the showdown continues, Tamon and Utage's friendship grows stronger. They work together to prepare for the final performance and to deliver a performance that will impress the audience. They are both determined to win the competition and to prove that they are the best idols in the world.

In the end, Tamon and Utage win the competition and are declared the best idols in the world. They are overjoyed and grateful for the support that they have received from their fans and from each other. They have learned that true friendship is not based on jealousy but on support and encouragement.

Tamon and Oris' story is a reminder that even the most talented and successful people can struggle with jealousy. It is important to recognize and address jealousy in a healthy way and to work towards building strong and supportive relationships. By doing so, we can create a more positive and inclusive world for everyone.
