Mizuno arrives to pick up Tanaka, who has been hiding out in the ladies' room. He tells the ladies that he is the captain of a mahjong club and that he cheated in the tournament. They are all very excited to see him. Mizuano explains that the elders of the clan have sent the men to the house for two reasons: there are people in the area who would dare move against the Tsurusakis, and there is a rumor that Hayano is the strongest recruit.
