Satoko refuses to be worried, and continues to focus on her work for the upcoming national calligraphy competition.
After Satoko and Kana mistake him as a thief, they throw calligraphy ink on him, thus leaving a bad first impression.
However, another member, Kiyomi was deeply impressed by the performance and started practicing it, putting her at odds with Satoko, who later chases her away from the club.
