The swimsuit suffers a crack in her back while she's on stage.

And so, with her swimsuit ready for the pageant show, Naoto and the others walked towards the school's podium where Miss Kashiwagi and Hanako were waiting for them.

As soon as she and her friends arrived on stage, they were met by a huge crowd cheering and clapping for all of them, with each girl having their own dedicaded hardcore fans looking for them to win.

"Go Chie!!"

"You're the best Yukiko!!"

"Crush them Rise!!"

"You're our queen Naoto!!"

"Thanks.... i guess...", simply said Naoto nervously as she once again, limited to wave at the audience.

Of course, as if being in just a swimsuit in front of an audience of dozen and dozens of people wasn't bad enough already for Naoto, she also had to deal with the fact that the swimsuit in question didn't cover that much of her to begin with, and that it was very painful for her to move in such old and small attire.

Which is why is there no surprise that eventually, after moving all the way from the bathroom to the middle of the podium that problems were bound to happen, and indeed they were, because out of nowhere, Naoto heard none other than a "Crack" sound coming from behind her.

_"D-Don't tell me....", _thought Naoto nervously for herself, upon which, she tried touching the back of the swimsuit, only to find her bare skin as there was now a rather big hole in the back.
