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.
The Kao Council will sink if 
everything is left up to him.
Wenn wir ihm das Ruder überlassen, wird der Kao-Rat untergehen.
El Consejo Kao se hundirá
si le dejamos todo.
El Consejo Kao se hundirá
si le dejamos todo.
Si on le laisse faire,
le conseil sombrera.
Il consiglio Kao affonderà
se tutto sarà lasciato in mano sua.
O conselho Kao cairá se
tudo ficar nas mãos dele.
