Tatenashi watches over her younger sister, Kanzashi Sarashiki, who is feeling gloomy since her personal IS, the Uchigane Nishiki, was delayed due to the development company focusing on the Byakushiki. Ichika and Houki are invited by newspaper club vice president Kaoruko Mayuzumi to be put on exclusive magazines for personal IS pilots, using dinner tickets as bribery. The two then have an personal interview and an intimate photo shoot hosted by Kaoruko's older sister Nagisako Mayuzumi. Wondering about Madoka, Ichika later asks Chifuyu if they have any other sisters, but she says that he is her only family. With a tag match tournament coming up, Lingyin and Charlotte try to butter him up with food, figuring out what type of partner he would choose. Tatenashi entrusts Kanzashi to Ichika for the upcoming tag match tournament. He rejects Laura, which brings Houki and Cecilia to assume that he would partner with one of them. As Ichika tries to approach Kanzashi, she turns down the proposal in anger instead.
