Following their defeat by Team Koshiro, Team Ichigo faces a critical change as Kashino decides to join the opposing squad. Kashino participates in Team Koshiro's practical exercises without showing any reluctance. Meanwhile, Hanabusa and Andoh remain convinced that Kashino will eventually return to their team. This belief leaves Ichigo hesitant but with no alternative but to continue her training. The group prepares for the upcoming third-place match in the Grand Prix, hoping Kashino's defection is temporary. The narrative focuses on the tension between the departing member's new allegiance and the remaining teammates' steadfast expectation of his return.
