Girls Music (ガールズ・ミュージック, Gāruzu Myūjikku?) is the sixth episode of Date A Live Ⅱ.
Synopsis[]
Mana wakes up and meets a group of people wearing black suits
Mana wakes up from her coma and is surprised to find herself still alive, despite her body having taken several bullets from Kurumi about a month ago. As she raises her body and pulls out the drip that is poking into her left arm, the door of the sickroom opens. Then, a few people wearing black suits enter the room. They ask her to confirm if she really is Mana Takamiya, in which she responds to them with a question about who they are. Moments later, a nurse comes into her room to check on Mana since she saw some problems with her Electro-Cardiogram and is shocked to see that she had disappeared.
Kotori tells Shido that she didn't expect for the event to turn into a stage competition with <Diva>, in which Shido apologizes about suddenly becoming hot-headed. Then, she assures that it cannot be helped since he already accepted the challenge and that <Ratatoskr> will go all-out and to win the competition. She then asks him to find a way to get on the stage while leaving the rest to <Ratatoskr>.
In the music room, Shido, Tohka, and Origami then join Ai, Mai, and Mii's band after hearing that they are losing members because of Ai's selfishness. Ai inquires Shido about the type of instrument he's good at, and he answers that he can play guitar. Ai then says she will be the bassist, Mai will be the drummer, and Mii will be the keyboardist. Moments after she said that, Tohka becomes disappointed because she can't be the drummer. Seeing this, Shido convinces her to play another instrument besides the drum. Ai, Mai, and Mii gave a tambourine to Tohka in a somewhat chuunibyou manner and thus she becomes a tambourinist. Origami was appointed to be the vocalist due to her good singing voice.
In the hangar room, Origami feels strange and furrows her eyes slightly because the other AST members in the hangar aren't behaving like usual while she is on duty. She immediately grabs Mildred's neck as she passes through her and brings her outside the hangar room. Origami asks Mildred what is she hiding, which causes her to stutter about not hiding anything from her friend. After being pressured by Origami, Mildred then begins to tell her about their mission tomorrow. However, just as Origami is about to hear the details of the mission from Mildred, Jessica interrupts their conversation.
Ryouko telling Origami tomorrow's mission
Seemly giving up, Origami goes to the changing room and coincidentally, Ryouko is in the room too. Ryouko lets out a sigh of tiredness and then speaks about tomorrow's mission, pretending as if she never noticed Origami's presence inside the room. She also adds that she might forget to lock the door of the second hangar, and she leaves Origami alone in the room after saying that it's up to her now.
The next day during the Tennou Festival, the Raizen High female students are cosplaying as maids in order to run their “Maid Café (☆) Raizen” as this is the only way to win against Rindouji. Shido catches a glimpse of Kurumi eating a candy apple while he is handing out the posters. Reine also arrives at their booth. Unfortunately for Shido, Reine brings Yoshino with her, which in turn embarrasses him because he doesn't want Yoshino to see him wearing girl's clothes. After they go inside the café, Miku closes in on the maid café and stands in front of him. After a short conversation, she invites Shido to go on a date.

Everything goes smoothly during their date until Miku's request for a prize to give to Shido without winning the game, thus making him angry. Miku then calls off their date and says she'll wait for him on the stage if he is able to stand on it. Meanwhile, on Origami's side, she is standing in front of <White Licorice>, knowing full well that she will be punished once again if she uses it.
Shido originally didn't understand the true meaning behind Miku's words. However, he finally comprehends what she meant as Ai, Mai, and Mii have been brainwashed by Miku to not attend their performance. Additionally, since they also can't find Origami who is their vocalist, they cannot perform on the stage. Kotori then decides that he would have to lip-sync the song as she will call for replacements.
Shido and Tohka go to a catwalk placed opposite to the stage to see Miku's performance. She performs her first song, Mermaid Lovestory, with several back dancers accompanying her on the stage. Both of them are amazed by her powerful performance. However, just as Miku is about to start singing her second song, the stage is filled with darkness. It turns out to be one of Kotori's schemes to turn down the hype and will only turn on the lights again after the crowd has calmed down. Unexpectedly, Miku manifests her Astral Dress in front of the whole crowd and starts her second performance with a song called Monochrome.
After Miku's stage performance ends, Tohka remarks that it is amazing while Shido worries over how can they defeat her. Moments later, the Yamai Sisters meet both of them at the catwalk and offer to be emergency replacements for their band performance. Meanwhile, Origami is busy fighting the DEM transfers, preventing them from going after Shido and Tohka. Back at the concert venue, Shido discovers that the lip-sync system is not working. When Shido is about to give up hope, Tohka starts singing solo, which raises the band's spirits and gets the gang playing again. Tohka and Shido finish the song and then high-five. After their song concludes, Origami is shown with blood running down her face, indicating that she has reached her limit of using the experimental CR-Unit.
