Oshi No Ko chapter 117 will most likely see Ruby Hoshino officially get the role of Ai Hoshino after she won the interpersonal audition against Akane Kurokawa and Frill Shiranui. Given that it was not an official audition, Frill and Akane might first receive offers, which they are set to reject, following which Ruby Hoshino should receive the job offer, unless the producers decide to hire another actress.

The upcoming chapter could also focus on Akane Kurokawa or Aquamarine Hoshino as Aqua challenged Akane to stop him from killing his father, following which we could see either of them taking further action towards their respective goals.

Oshi No Ko chapter 116, titled Responsibility, saw Akane and Ruby learning that the role they were auditioning for was of Ai Hoshino. Akane believed that she was perfect for the role as she had already studied the idol deeply. In addition, she was also a better actress than Ruby Hoshino.

However, Ruby believed that she knew her mother's emotions and intentions better, which is why she persisted in continuing to audition until she won the role. Later, after Ruby won the audition, Akane was returning home when she found Aqua to be waiting for him. That's when she declared her intention to stop him.
