Synopsis[]

Ei-chan and Natchan go to the venue. It doesn't say whether Natchan goes on her own immediately, but once Ei-chan is done reporting in at the information desk, he enters the venue and is hailed by Araya and Nabae who are there already. Then Ide comes running. He explains that on his way there, he'd helped out a girl and missed 2 trains, so he started to run. His three listeners think, "As expected." Ei-chan's impression on seeing Ide who'd gone to Spain is that Ide's body had gotten a size bigger. The 4 promise each other that they'll win [their respective matches, probably], then separate. Aki-chan comes and her eyes meet Ei-chan's; they greet each other. Tamakoshi (Ei-chan's next opponent) and other players are talking, saying that this year there seems to be a lot of high schoolers. Ei-chan's mom is going to the venue. She sees the number of people and the size of the venue and realizes the tournament is that big. When she sees the main venue, she's even more surprised. Ei-chan goes to the front entrance to meet his mom. As he tries to hail his mom, he's hailed by Miyagawa and Oobayashi. Oobayashi comments on how Ei-chan had left them behind just like that. Miyagawa agrees and adds that with that much momentum, Ei-chan should already have the confidence to turn pro. Ei-chan replies that it depends on this tournament. After this, their conversation turns to Oobayashi's university's solicitation of Miyagawa. Miyagawa says it's hasty. Watching Miyagawa say he intends to advance at his own pace, Ei-chan gets the impression that Miyagawa is quite level-headed. When the two leave, the next to come up is Iwasa, who says he has other business at the Big Sight and had come over by chance. He adds that he'd hit a wall [in a creative sense] for the first time and is having difficulty when it comes to drawing freely. He just wanted to watch Ei-chan's match because Ei-chan's like Iwasa's hope. Seeing that scene, Ei-chan's mom concludes that various people at rooting for Ei-chan. Ei-chan sees his mom and comments on her early arrival, since his match starts at 11 a.m. at court No.8. Then it turns 11 a.m.
