As agreed the previous day, Sensei goes with Nodoka to persuade Otoha to join Sensei's school/class. Rin couldn't come. Before they get there, Nodoka talks a bit about how she expresses herself and about her "Nodoka points" system. Otoha guesses the reason for their visit, but is eventually persuaded by Sensei's promise of good grades, the prospect of being with her friends, and the desire to get Nodoka to stop talking. She says she will discuss it with her parents.
