As both Hiro and Arata notice them, Hiro says to Chihaya that Taichi may be better than she thinks.
The next day, Chihaya has 3 practices with Rion Yamashiro, To Rion's disappointment. Chihaya has a hard time playing against her with her left only, but it's not only this. Later, at lunch, the two talk. Rion says continues to play for her grandmother's rice balls and declares she has no interest in becoming a queen, despite being a class A, but still wants to win as the vice president.
At the third match, Midori advises Chihaya to be aware of her posture like Masters and Queens. Rion gets a bit jealous for never getting that advice, as well as anyone in that school. Rion says that you can tell the card not only by the first syllable but also by its pitch.
Chihaya should play next with Taichi. As she watches him memorizing the cards, Chihaya recalls Hiro's words. Taichi wins and makes her upset and says he wants to play with her using her right hand. As Rion asks Midori why she let the two play together despite being in the same school (which means they can play anytime), she says that she thought she was the only one who could be his match from the camp, she answers that with some confidence, who would be able to go forward in bigger steps, but for this, he needs Chihaya to bring him that confidence.
