Eiichiro feels that something has changed after he defeated Miyagawa in the second match. In the finals, Eiichiro has to beat Araya in order to have a more secure place in All-Japan Junior Tennis Tournament.

Natsu appears while Eiichiro is in the middle of his practice. Under Sakakibara and Aoi's suggestion, Natsu and Eiichiro will have a friendly match against each other. This friendly match will serve as a counter-measure for Shimizu as Eiichiro has a similar style as Shimizu. For Eiichiro, it will act as mental training especially when he needs to play based on instinct. At the start of their friendly match, Eiichiro has a difficulty in reading Natsu's tennis style as he cannot focus on the match.
