A foreigner named Maestro Franz von Stresemann arrives at Chiaki's school and befriends Nodame. Chiaki forbids him from entering his home due to perceived inappropriate conduct. It is revealed that Stresemann serves as the head of the conducting department. Seeking to switch his major to conducting, Chiaki approaches the new professor for guidance. However, Stresemann denies his request, citing a personal conflict with Chiaki's previous instructor, Vieira. This rejection complicates Chiaki's academic plans as he navigates the new departmental leadership and interpersonal tensions within the school environment.
