Aired on October 6, 2005
Yamato asks Honoka to be his girlfriend, a change that visibly disturbs Suzuka when Miki reveals the news. Despite her shock, Suzuka maintains composure, though she later confirms the dating status with Yamato after practice and congratulates him while struggling internally. Miki criticizes Yamato’s actions as irresponsible toward Suzuka, whereas Yasunobu supports the match for Honoka’s sake. The following day, Suzuka avoids Yamato as he dines with Honoka and teammates. During a train ride from Hiroshima, Yamato trips while buying drinks and is left behind. Suzuka attempts to assist him, but both are accidentally abandoned by the departing train, leaving them stranded together.
