When Shikimori arrives and tells her boyfriend that she is on the volleyball team, Izumi and Inuzuka are discussing the impending sports competition in which their class will compete against others. Izumi is captivated by her charms and appears pleased with her new hairstyle, despite the fact that Inuzuka believes it would hinder her game. Nekozaki notes that they all opted on a similar one as a show of support and to promote a sense of togetherness. Shikimori is curious about the game timing because the lads are going to play football and she wants to cheer for her boyfriend.

Izumi is oblivious, so they consult the schedule and are surprised to hear that the first volleyball and football games would be played at the same time. While they are sorry that they will not be cheering for one another, the couple sends each other their best wishes. Shikimori later joins the boy’s football practice and expresses concern for Izumi’s well-being.

Just as she is praying he would not be hurt, her partner fails to spot a ball coming from behind him, and by the time he turns, he has been hit in the face. Izumi is then transported to the school’s clinic, where he rests. Despite the fact that the volleyball match is about to begin, Shikimori promises Nekozaki that she will join her as soon as possible to be at her boyfriend’s side and secure his safety.

Shikimori is worried, but Izumi reassures her that she is OK. That’s when Izumi’s girlfriend finds the scars all over his body. After she questions him, he says he obtained them when a truck crashed into her house. Shikimori had seen him get into all sorts of bizarre situations by this point, so his explanation didn’t surprise her in the least.

Shikimori is visited after the volleyball match by a large number of supporters from all grades in the school who have witnessed her outstanding performance that day and want to take pictures with her. Her newfound celebrity is overwhelming, but she does her best to give everyone some time and listen to their polite demands. Unfortunately, with so much going on, she is unable to care for Izumi as she usually does, and he continues to get into mischief. Meanwhile, Shikimori emerges as the school’s hero in the days that follow.

Inuzuka defends Izumi from a ball that flies into the classroom from the window one day while she is shooting pictures with someone. However, he injures himself in the process. Everyone’s attention is drawn to the two, and Shikimori notices Izumi ministering to his companions’ injuries. While Izumi may simply be worried for Inuzuka’s well-being, Shikimori becomes envious and looks to be feeling supplanted. Despite her unusual findings, the pair has begun to drift apart in the wake of Shikimori’s rising renown. So it’s understandable that she feels insecure right now.

Meanwhile, Izumi is also missing his lover, but he keeps his thoughts to himself. He’s gotten into a lot of trouble in the previous few days, but happily, Inuzuka has always been there for him. Although he is grateful for the assistance he has gotten, Izumi appears to be missing his fiancée, who has little time for him due to her followers. In the midst of the confusion and misunderstanding, he fails to notice that they have stopped returning home together.

However, Inuzuka saving Izumi in front of Shikimori ultimately does the trick and convinces the protagonist that she has to spend more time with his boyfriend. Putting her jealousy and doubts aside, she follows Izumi just as he is ready to depart for home and saves him from a serious injury when he misses a step on the staircase and falls. The couple may have drifted apart for a few days, but it appears that they now have a fresh respect and regard for one other, which will bring them closer in the long run.
