It turns out Shu, the salon owner, had hired Dake-san to teach Yuki to not cheat. But Dake-san takes all of Yuki's 10,000 yen (about 90 U.S. dollars), and it proves to be an excessively harsh lesson. Hikaru challenges Dake-san, and with Fujiwara-no-Sai's help, wins back the money. Yuki decides to go to the Go club after Hikaru gives back the money. Hikaru, Kimihiro, and Yuki play in the Summer Go Tournament and lose to Kaio Middle School. Later Yuki is enraged when Hikaru decides to quit so he can be an insei.
