Precisely. Elza had her sights set on Hime, and only Hime at the beginning of Season 2. I doubt that she had any long-term plans for Japan beyond snagging Hime until Yume, Laura and then Lilie threw her a curveball-the former two by putting on a great performance, the latter defying all expectations by becoming the first Four Star Academy student to obtain Star Wings (to make the feat even more impressive, she was only ranked admin not S4).

That was when Elza decided that staying in Japan to observe the idols over there might prove to be more beneficial, hence this is why the current plot turned out to be this way.
