With Shiki's persuasion, the Kao Council decides to expand the number of performers for Opening Ceremony. Once again back to a 14-person company, Hoshitani and the others devote themselves to practice. Meanwhile, a slight rift is beginning to form between Shiki, who agreed to the second-years' request, and Fuyusawa, who is determined to avoid any risk of failure. The difference between their goals, ideals, and feelings becomes increasingly clear.
We finally get to perform 
with all fourteen of us!
Endlich können wir zu
fünfzehnt auf der Bühne stehen!
Finalmente potremo esibirci
 tutti e quattordici insieme!
Finalmente vamos nos apresentar, nós 14!
