Ep. 15: Eiichirou devises a five-step strategy to defeat Araya in a high-stakes tennis tournament match.

Eiichirou learns Araya plans to retire if he loses to Takuma, prompting a scheme to defeat him and turn pro. Takuma shares Araya’s weaknesses, enabling Eiichirou to secure the first game. After a protest warning in the second game, Araya enters a focused state and wins six consecutive games to take the first set. In the second set, Eiichirou analyzes Araya’s previous shots, realizing he can predict his opponent's movements. Despite trailing 1-0 in the set, Eiichirou successfully reverses Araya’s counter shot, gaining a Love-15 advantage. The narrative concludes with the ongoing tension of this intense rivalry, leaving the final outcome of the match unresolved.
