Oshi No Ko chapter 116 will most likely see Ruby Hoshino learn the truth behind Frill Shiranui's intention to hold an interpersonal audition. She had no idea that the film was about her mother's life, thus learning about it could leave her emotions running wild.

Upon seeing Ruby's audition, Akane immediately realized that Frill was trying to ensure that Ruby gets the role by eliminating herself and Akane by conducting the audition. If Frill and Akane were to back away from the role, Ruby would immediately get the position, which is what Frill might be aiming for.

Recap of Oshi No Ko chapter 115

Oshi No Ko chapter 115, titled ROLES, opened with Ruby Hoshino thinking long and hard about the theme of the audition "Lies." She thought back to how she had always been lying, even in her previous life as Sarina Tendouji. She then went on to put on an impressive performance as she improvised a scene through real-life events she had gone through.

Upon seeing the audition, Akane Kurokawa was confident about having realized Frill Shiranui's intentions. She deduced that Gotanda's film was about Hoshino Ai, Ruby's mother, which is why Frill wanted to eliminate herself and Akane to give the role to Ruby.
