Ep. 4: Akari proves her rowing skills on the traghetto ferry with her new teammates.
Aired on January 29, 2008
While Alicia is occupied, Akari gains gondola experience by working on a traghetto ferry with three Singles. Atora offers candy to ease Akari’s nerves and suggests she observe from shore, while Anzu remains gloomy due to repeated Prima exam failures. Akari reassures Anzu, believing Alicia has not yet tested her because of her own current limitations. When Akari rows, her team is surprised by her ability to balance the ferry with standing passengers independently. The group praises her talent, predicting she will become a Prima soon. Atora criticizes the Orange Planet examiner for being too strict and, encouraged by her friends, resolves to retake the exam she failed six months prior.
