Summary[]
The club is convinced that the child consultation center will take action now that so many people are gathered. Ooishi stops the club and commends Keiichi for managing to bring together Oryou Sonozaki and the town council. Ooishi hopes for the best and sends the club off, commenting that it’s fine for Keiichi to take all the credit just this once. The center staff apologize for not taking the situation seriously and call Satoko’s house. Teppei picks up. The worker says they’re sending staff over to check on them, and Teppei says they should come some other time. The worker asks to talk to Satoko, and though Teppei is reluctant, he lets her on. Satoko says everything is fine, and Keiichi wonders why she still won’t accept their help. Rika says Satoko must think she’s being strong by enduring Teppei’s abuse by herself and can’t forgive herself for relying on Satoshi.
Rika encourages Satoko to take after Satoshi's strength.
Rika takes the phone, and Satoko tells her that she hopes to prove to her Nii-nii that she’s strong by not relying on anybody’s help. Rika says that enduring the abuse is wrong and tells Satoko to think back to what Satoshi did. He stood up to their aunt and uncle to defend Satoko, and now she needs to find that same strength and get help. Rika hands the phone back to the worker, and a crying Satoko calls out for help. The phone goes to a dial tone soon after. Rika tells the worker to get to Satoko’s house quickly, and Ooishi strolls in saying he can take them there. Ooishi asks Keiichi to disperse the crowd as he escorts the worker. The club leaves the office, hoping that Ooishi and the police will take care of everything.
Satoko still doesn't come back to school the next day. Keiichi looks at his calendar at home and says the Watanagashi is coming tomorrow. The phone rings and Keiichi takes it, where Satoko’s voice is on the other end. Keiichi asks if she’s alright and Satoko says she’s fine. Teppei cut her off from the phone and the police arrived right there to restrain him. Ooishi had police stationed nearby beforehand, who took Teppei to the station. Satoko was taken into protection after.
Keiichi is relieved that Satoko is okay, and Satoko smiles. Satoko says her bruises healed right away and thanks Keiichi for doing so much for her. Keiichi says they can have fun at Watanagashi tomorrow, and Satoko asks if Keiichi could pick her up at her house. The next day, Keiichi goes to Satoko’s house and sees her wearing a bright new outfit. Satoko calls Keiichi Nii-nii and grabs his hand happily.
