Back at the school, Hiroyuki asks if he's going to be okay. He's worried that he'll be teased if he tells his classmates that he has a crush on Tetahashi. Hiroyuki tells him that he doesn't have to worry about it, because he knows that his crush will be fine. He also tells her that Bishamon has been sick recently, and that he can't figure out what's wrong. He tells her to get out of the house, because his back injury won't stop him from doing his job. She tells him to go see Suzuha, because she's coming back today. She says that she'll see her soon, and Hiroyuki says that he should go see her. He says that's okay, since she'd be fine if he didn't see her anymore. He adds that he had a dream in which he thought that his shinki was going to kill him, but that it was just a dream. She laughs at him and says that her trust in him is what makes him so powerful. She's the one who makes him the most powerful warrior in the world, and she makes his existence crucial to her. As long as he has her, he says, he can never be a replacement for her.
