Kotoko has to leave the Irie home, and decides to give up on Naoki. But she is determined to pursue the grueling training in tennis. It so happens that she is challenged to a pairs match, paired with Naoki against the Sudo-Matsumoto team. Naoki loses for the first time in his life, so he decides to coach Kotoko in tennis. On the other hand, Noriko misses Kotoko and goes undercover to the university, where she gets the news that Naoki and Kotoko have had their first kiss.
But I can't spend the rest of 
my life running from Irie-kun.
Pero no puedo pasarme 
el resto de mi vida huyendo de Irie-kun.
Pero no puedo pasarme el resto 
de mi vida huyendo de Irie-kun.
C’est comme ça, je ne pourrai pas
passer ma vie à le fuir.
Mas eu não posso passar o resto
 da minha vida fugindo do Irie.
