The next morning, the girls prepare for their practice match against the boys. As they prepare for the match, the captain and the coach discuss the results of the previous day's match. The girls' performance was better than the boys', the coach says, because the girls' attacks were so strong. The captain says that he shot the entire match, and they're heading back to school. The coach tells him that he's blushing because he called her into a hotel, but the captain doesn't care. He's going to stay with his mother, he says, and that's why he went to college. He tells the coach that he decided to stay in school because he wanted to keep her safe and fed, not because he thought she'd be a good mother. He also tells the captain that the girls have practice off the next day, so he'll be back in time to commit to the match on the ninth. They're going to play a friendly match with Koku yodani tomorrow, and the captain asks if the captain will be returning before then. He says he lied to Kyoko about not practicing, and Kyoko and Sengoku will be staying in Osaka the night before the match so they won't be able to practice. He asks the principal if he can come back before tomorrow's practice, and he gets a call from the coach saying that they have a practice match.
