3

Under Ginga's tuition, Mimi's team manages to lead up to Tomoka's team, but the others manage hold their ground and win the game. Later Ginga compliments Mimi's team for their efforts, much to Natsuhi's surprise. Aoi decides to become the fifth years' coach after seeng their talent in basketball. The next day Tomoka invites Subaru to her birthday party that weekend, and after school he asks Aoi to help him pick up a gift for Tomoka, to which Aoi unhappily agrees. During the party, the girls insist that the birthday girl (Tomoka) should sit on Subaru's lap, much to the latter's embarrassment. Later, Tomoka opens her gifts: from Maho, Saki, Hinata and Airi, a basketball; from Aoi, a head ribbon; and from Subaru, a towel, which Tomoka accepts. Also on next day, Subaru gives Tomoka another gift—a chance for both of them to master the "scoop shot" (or "floater") technique, and they happily have a training session like always.
