Episode 11

The Promise is the eleventh episode in the Smile Down the Runway (anime).

Summary
Yu gives her opinions on Ikuto's performance, and then books Kokoro for another modeling gig. Before Kokoro and Chiyuki's turn comes up, Ikuto wishes them both good luck and that he'll be watching from the audience.

Flashbacks of how Kokoro and Chiyuki are shown working together on their designs. Once their turn for the runway comes up, they shock and bedazzle the audience by only using Chiyuki as the sole model and by changing her outfits on right on the runway. The reporters and judges are impressed by this bold display and confidence that she shows. However, Yu is convinced that Chiyuki will fail as she's not focused.

Although she's become exhausted by acting as the sole model for this showing, Chiyuki notes how much fun she's having. From Yu's perception, she notes how the clothes rack is notably shortened to deceive the people, about Chiyuki's short stature. After chastising Chiyuki's performance, Yu tries to leave, but is stopped short by Shizuku who notes Chiyuki's immense aura. For the final design, Kokoro wears it and impresses the judges and most notably Yu as she walks down the runway.

In the end, a great round of applause is given to Kokoro and backstage Chiyuki embraces and thanks her for helping her succeed as a model. Up next to the Geika Fashion Show is Toh.
