The girls discuss their scores on the final exam, which is to be given the next day. The girls are happy that they did well, but they are worried that their scores are not good enough to get them into the top ten. They ask their tutor, ebata san, if he is still their tutor. He says that he is, but that he has been barred by their father from entering the exam hall. He tells the girls that he will go to their tutor and explain what happened. He also tells them that they will have to learn under their own power from now on.
