In the middle of class, Ike and Yamauchi invite Kiyotaka to go hang out with them after class, indicating that Kushida and a few others would also be coming. The three of them leave after class to meet up with Kushida. She shows up and admits that she had invited Hirata, Karuizawa, Nene Mori, and Chiaki Matsushita to join them.
