Summary
In order for him to try and get them to think he isn't a lolicon, Kimura lies and reveals that he has a girlfriend and gives Aoki, Ippo, and Itagaki extra tickets to an amusement park that he says he is taking his girlfriend to. While Ippo thinks Kimura is telling the truth, Itagaki and Aoki knows that Kimura is lying and Aoki thinks Kimura is possibly an anime-loving lolicon. Wanting to use his tickets, Itagaki contacts Mari to take her to the Nerima Park for a date. When they arrive to the park, Itagaki unintentionally insults her by calling each other runner-ups and fellow rejects, and is the only one enjoying the rides at the attractions. After taking a break from the rides, Itagaki is interviewed by Mari about his match with Karasawa, being asked how he was able to disappear from Karasawa's sights in the second round. Itagaki explains how his senses accelerate when he gets focused, and he can see every twitch their muscle makes and every breath they take, being able to do feints as he can also see their eyes move. He is asked if he was purposely trying to beat Ippo's time against Karasawa and if he thinks he has caught up to Ippo. Itagaki comments that there is no way he caught up to him and his match with Karasawa reminded him how great Ippo is. Itagaki then sees Ippo with Kumi, and Aoki with Tomiko, and goes sit with them. When Aoki brings up that Kimura might be a lolicon, Tomiko suggests to call Kimura and reveal everyone to his girlfriend. As Aoki calls Kimura to show them his girlfriend, Kimura is near the group, and not knowing they're there, he tells Aoki that he is at the park and will show his girlfriend another time. As Aoki and the others sees Kimura with a little girl, Aoki claims that he got the wrong number as he says he was trying to call the police.
