The piano teacher, Nunzio, meets up with the conductor, who introduces himself as "sensei" . Nunzio asks if the conductor is impressed by the piano student, who seems to be the pupil of the master. The conductor says that he has never seen the pupil before, and that the master is sick, so the pupil is conducting. The piano student is playing a piece from Beethoven's cantata, and the conductor comments that it sounds like "a drunken man." The conductor is surprised that the pupil could have conducted such a piece, since the master could not have conducted it himself. He says that if the master had not gotten sick, the pupil would not have had the chance to conduct the piece, and he is glad that ryu-chan has been able to cheer up the conductor. He also says that the music festival was a success, since it brought him to his senses. He asks the conductor if he is trying to find the boy who is playing the piano, who is the son of the teacher's master, who he says is "another good looking guy." He also asks if he remembers the student, "Megumi-noda," from the master's class, who was playing strange noises. The teacher says that she was the "worst student" he has ever had, and wonders if he should give up on her. The music teacher says he will see the conductor next year.
