The chairwoman at the Kisaragi School for Girls has determined that there will be a girls' baseball team and that they will go to Koshien within three years. Ryo is offered one of the scholarships issued to build this team. When she visits for her interview, she spots Hiroki on campus and he walks her to the Administrative Building. During the walk they pass by the tennis courts where school tennis star Izumi Himuro, the chairwoman's daughter, is practicing. Izumi is troubled by seeing Hiroki with Ryo and treats her coolly.
