The next morning, the girls are back on the practice field, and Tomouchi asks what's going on. It turns out that Hirokazu has come to negotiate his release from Inugami, since he's living with his family in the U.S. He's also training the girls for the upcoming season, which starts in a few days. Tommouchi wants to know why he switched the girls in the first place, since they're going to lose the game to the other girls. He tells them that it's because he had an argument the other day, and he wants to make him an offer. He also tells them about his girlfriend, who's back in town, and how she likes to play the sport. He says that he likes playing the sport because it makes him happy, but he also says that his girlfriend probably likes him, too, and that's why he snuck a kiss into her arms. He doesn't want to be her boyfriend, he says, because that would ruin everything. He explains that he had to live in an orphanage until his uncle finally took him in, and now he has to watch out for any signs of love between him and his girlfriend.
