Hina reassures Taiki that Chinatsu and Haryu are likely just friends, but he is still shocked to see them together the next day. Kyo reminds him that both are MVPs and class representatives, and Taiki, though bothered, tries not to let his emotions take over.

At practice, a coach comments on having high hopes for Taiki. When Chinatsu asks Taiki what time he’ll finish practice, Haryu interrupts. This intervention further irritates Taiki, especially because Haryu has a nickname for her.

At home, Taiki reflects on how he only calls Chinatsu “Chinatsu senpai” but knows he can’t change that. Later, during training, he focuses on badminton instead of getting caught up in his feelings. Despite his effort, Taiki becomes frustrated after losing a match to Haryu. However, he resolves not to use Chinatsu as an excuse for failure, reminding himself that he genuinely loves badminton.

As the matches progress, Taiki improves but ultimately loses to Haryu 21-15. Afterward, both express their frustration despite Haryu's win. The next day, Taiki is surprised to learn he’ll be paired with Haryu for doubles in the upcoming nationals.

Tensions rise when Haryu overhears Taiki talking to Kyo about his feelings for Chinatsu. Later, Haryu pushes Taiki through intense training but expresses admiration for his determination.

One day, after practice, Haryu reveals to Taiki that he has a girlfriend in show business, leaving Taiki stunned. Haryu then teases him, implying it’s too early for Taiki to have a girlfriend. Much to his astonishment, he realizes that Haryu was never interested in Chinatsu romantically.

In the next episode of the anime, viewers can expect a shift in dynamics as Taiki and Haryu prepare for the upcoming nationals as doubles partners. The tension between Taiki’s personal feelings for Chinatsu and his newfound partnership with Haryu will be central, especially after Haryu reveals that he knows about Taiki's crush.

Haryu's strict training regimen will likely push Taiki to his limits, challenging both his mental and physical endurance. As Taiki grapples with his feelings, he should balance his determination to improve at badminton with the pressure of working alongside Haryu, whom he once saw as a rival for Chinatsu's attention.

Meanwhile, Haryu’s revelation about having a girlfriend will not only bring a sense of relief for Taiki, but also open up new layers of their relationship. Viewers can expect more intense training scenes, possible moments of camaraderie between the two, and a thorough exploration of Taiki’s resolve to succeed.

Chinatsu's continued presence as a source of motivation will add emotional complexity, while Haryu’s confidence in Taiki’s future hints at a growing respect between them. Overall, the episode will likely focus on Taiki’s growth, both as an athlete and in navigating his personal feelings.
