As the summer cleansing ceremony approaches, Tatsuo tells Satoru to invite some friends, which leaves him flustered. He continues to practice hard as a member of the kendo club, but he hasn't managed to break the ice with the other members. One day, he gets in a fight with Kosugi, another member, and ends up in a kendo match against Kinugawa, the captain.
I left my glove exposed, 
but you kept aiming for my face.
Ich habe meine Hand ungedeckt gelassen, 
aber du bist weiter auf mein Gesicht losgegangen.
Pudiendo atacarme en las muñecas,
Pudiendo darme en las muñecas,
Tu vises la tête, 
même quand la main est à portée.
Anche se lasciavo scoperto il guanto, 
continuavi a mirare alla maschera.
Eu deixei minha luva exposta, mas você
 continuou mirando na minha cara.
