The prefectural tournament preliminaries finally begin. When the students from Kazemai and Kirisaki run into each other, Minato is happy to see Shu again - but Kaito is only interested in picking a fight.

After the events of the tournament, Masa-san needs some help from the boys. The Kirisaki and Kazemai kyudo clubs team up to learn more about... idols?!

The conclusion of the national tournament heralds the end of summer. As Minato reflects on kyudo, he and his friends help Masaki prepare for the Star Festival at Yata Shrine.
