Still unable to get permission to perform in Opening Ceremony and now facing the prospect that they will be excluded from the Ayanagi Festival all together, Hoshitani and the others try to at least get their class performance time slot back. However, through their exchanges with Irinatsu and Kasugano, positive feelings for wanting to be acknowledged by the Kao Council have begun to emerge in the group. Though others, such as Nanjo, voice their doubts and a past relationship between him and Fuyusawa lead the others to wonder where Nanjo's loyalties really lie.
You know that Fuyusawa 
is in our way, don't you?
Du weißt doch,
dass Fuyusawa uns behindert.
Sabes que Fuyusawa está
contra nosotros, ¿no?
Sabes que Fuyusawa está
contra nosotros, ¿no?
Tu sais que Fuyusawa
nous barre la route.
Sai bene che Fuyusawa vuole mettere 
i bastoni tra le ruote a tutti noi, no?
Você sabe que Fuyusawa está
no nosso caminho, né?
