This friendly practice game suddenly turns into a match when one of the girls, Narumi Tooi, notices Kanata approaching the court.Although the two suffer a devastating defeat, Haruka finally realizes the reason for her cousin’s quiet and distant behavior. Kanata and Narumi used to be an exceptionally talented beach volleyball duo, until Kanata quit due to her short height causing problems for Narumi.
