Avsnitt 3

Despite showing some initial improvement, Minami notices the team being less motivated following a week of exams, with many members skipping practise. After school, Minami encounters Yūnosuke Sakurai opting for karaoke instead of practise, saying he's not worthy to be on the team following some of his slip-ups in the previous game . Looking to Management, she looks into 'consumerism', believing the absensees to be a form of boycott against the way they practise. Minami and Yuki ask Ayano for her help, who determines most players who only show up for games because of its competitive nature compared to practise . With this information, she and Makoto set up a new training exercise focused around teams and points which encourages the players to be more responsible and strive to improve themselves.
