Back at work, Tomoyuki tells Nozomi that he's got to get back to work before the girls arrive at the school. He's worried about what's going to happen to his friend Tsukushi, who's been having a rough time with his knee. He tells her to keep an eye out for him, because he'll be in trouble if he doesn't take care of him. He also tells her not to worry about his elbow, which has been bothering him all this time. He wants her to stay in the building and rest her elbow, so she won't have to deal with the pain. He says that he hopes that the girls don't press too hard, because that'll only make things worse. He thinks that the boys are psyched to play the first game of the tournament, and that they're going to press even harder than they did when they played their first game.
