At the meet, Yamato is very pumped about the race Miyamoto and the captain, however, are worried about how he’ll do - Miyamoto notes that Yamato hasn’t bested his record from the earlier track meet. During the race, Yamato gets a good start, but Arima quickly passes him. Arima ends up winning, and Yamato places a disappointing fourth place. Later, Suzuka visits Yamato, bringing him some eggs to eat. Yamato realizes that Suzuka is probably trying to cheer him up. Just as she is about to leave, Yamato confesses to her again. He says that she doesn’t have to answer him yet, that he will practice more, so that he can win the next tournament. Reminded of what Kazuki told her back then, Suzuka runs out on him, telling him to stop.
