Before the next match, Fueko tells the girls that he'll marry them if they lose. He wants to know what they're going to do to stop the quick attacks. Fueko says they'll practice using the left hand to control the ball and the right hand to hit it. They'll also practice using a center to set the ball. He's not sure if he's heard this before, but it sounds like a good idea. He also says that if he loses in the spring, the coach is going to retire, and that jinnai got injured trying to save the match. He doesn't know if that's true or not, but he does know that if the girls don't let him play, she's going to die right here. She's been hard on herself ever since, because she can't hear the left side of the court.
