Summary[]
The manager refuses to hear Miyata's statement of leaving. Eventually, Miyata decides to stay as Aoki and Tomiko come up to the counter. Aoki asks if the reason why Miyata's last match was bad, was because of weight management or because of a certain someone's retirement, but Miyata avoids the question. As Aoki leaves, he claims Miyata shouldn't wait any longer and move up to the next stage. Kimura then enters the store. Kimura states that Miyata shouldn't be working at a convenience store, as he's one step away from becoming a boxing world champion. Kimura gets shocked after asking him what his wage is, as it is unusually high. Kimura then leaves, claiming that everyone has high hopes for him and to not throw away his talent. Takamura enters the store, asking about the missing cat flier, which he claims to have been missing for a week. After hearing Takamura say it's his cat and gives a description, Miyata claims that it doesn't fit the description of Sarate. After making fun of Miyata for having a cat, Takamura states that Miyata shouldn't be stuck in the same place and to live up to his potential. Miyata then asks for the manager to kick Takamura out. After that fails, Miyata calls the police on him. Miyata then returns home, remembering what the three boxers said to him. The next morning, Ippo wakes up and begins running with Wanpo.
