The school prepares for the annual Sports Tournament and other students note Minato’s absence. However, a familiar sound tells his friends where they can find him.
Kazemai’s performance earned them victory. However, another team is quickly making a name for themselves with their unorthodox yet effective kyudo techniques.
Exiled from the shooting range on Masaki’s orders, Minato finds himself forbidden from wielding his bow. Meanwhile, Kaito blames himself for the team’s poor performance.
It’s their turn this time; Seo, Hanazawa, and Shiragiku have signed up for a kyudo tournament and are bursting with excitement for their first team competition.
Kazemai has a summer training camp and is ecstatic about getting a beach-side kyudo range all to themselves! Too bad the Tsujimine kyudo club beat them to the punch.
How can Tsujimine be in sync when its members seem so different? Minato wants to know why, and Fuwa will tell him if Minato explains why Nikaido is obsessed with beating him.
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.
