Episode 5 of Blue Box picks up with Taiki Inomata battling Shoichiro Kishi in an intense match. With the score tied and one point needed to win, Taiki lands a high shot along the line on Ichiro’s side, clinching victory. Though Ichiro feels the sting of defeat, he hides it well, showing his resilience.

Taiki goes to the finals but loses to Nishida, finishing second in the regional preliminaries. Taiki, chatting with his friend Kyo, admits that Nishida is a tough competitor. Kyo reassures him, reminding Taiki that Nishida is one of the top players in the badminton team.

Hina soon joins them, teasing Taiki about his second-place win. Just then, Taiki receives a text from Chinatsu, inviting him to the aquarium. Shocked, he learns that Kyo had suggested Chinatsu take him out if he won his match. Thrilled, Hina nudges Taiki to ensure he’s ready for his “first date” with Chinatsu. Nervous, Taiki spends the evening thinking about their upcoming day together.

On the big day, however, Taiki oversleeps and scrambles to reach the aquarium, fumbling as he drops some coins. Chinatsu helps him pick one up, looking beautiful in a dress, which leaves Taiki stunned. They enjoy their time at the aquarium, where Chinatsu’s joyful reactions make Taiki’s heart race.

She even takes a picture of him to remember the day, a gesture that makes him happy. As they prepare to leave, Chinatsu stops Taiki to apologize for a comment she made previously about him having more time to reach nationals, realizing it might have sounded dismissive.

Taiki reassures her, appreciating her thoughtfulness and sending her a playful sticker to lighten the mood. Chinatsu responds by sending back the sticker, playfully hinting that she values their friendship.

The next day, Kyo asks Taiki about the aquarium outing, and the latter admits it went well. Kyo jokingly asks how he’d feel if Chinatsu actually liked him. Taiki, flustered, brushes off the idea but confesses it would be amazing. Hina, meanwhile, interrupts and tells him to focus on the upcoming qualifiers, mentioning Sajikawa, the school’s strongest badminton team.

Later, Hina and Chinatsu meet at a chiropractor clinic, where the former discovers that the latter left her phone. Hina follows her to return it but is stunned when she sees Chinatsu entering Taiki’s house. Shocked, Hina watches them go inside, wondering what’s really going on as the episode ends.

Her confusion and potential jealousy could add tension to the storyline, especially since she seems to harbor feelings for Taiki, though she keeps them hidden. This episode might explore Hina’s feelings more deeply, revealing how she truly perceives Taiki and Chinatsu’s bond.
