Yamato tags along as Mei intends to visit the parlor to have her hair cut, which eventually becomes a date. On the way, they meet Aiko Muto, along with her boyfriend Masashi Tachikawa, and eventually invites the two to a bowling alley. Aiko, who has a crush on Yamato after finding out her ex-boyfriend cheated on her, wonders what did he see in Mei, who looks not interested in him. When the two girls are alone, Aiko bluffs Mei into leaving him alone, but it was in vain as Yamato followed Mei on the way out.
