Smiling at the newcomer girl who really seemed to know how to make an entrance, Michiko said, "Hello, I don't think we have a girls team but.... YAH!" with the finish being a reaction to the back of a blonde-haired head in front of her face. Masaru gave a seemingly warm smile and said, "Hello my dear, are you lost? This is the basketball club, what are you looking for my delicate little flower?" while comically leaning sideways, not realizing this young woman's interest in basketball. Right after he finished speaking Masaru began to move his hand to Izumi's cheek, looking for signs of retaliation.
