During practice, Akane notices plants budding in the outfield. The club decides to play in a summer tournament, but their adviser Momoko Kakehashi, who also oversees the kendo club, fails to convince faculty to provide additional funding to pay for the trip. In response, the team launches a petition that gains support from the other students. After further discussion, Momoko agrees to relinquish supervision of the kendo club until the tournament's end. When they return to the field, the team learns the plants are sunflowers from a nearby patch, which they decide to water and treat until their outfield is filled with the flower.
