Sakurazawa is shocked to see tape on Chihaya's finger, revealing she has been using her left hand. Shinobu criticizes Chihaya's Mizusawa t-shirt, prompting Chihaya to show off her Mommy Bear tank top. After Shinobu jokingly suggests playing with Chihaya's right hand, Chihaya sharply reprimands her. During the game, Chihaya removes the tape to move faster, but Shinobu still wins.
