The Okinawa qualifier finals begin with Haruka and Kanata playing against Claire and Emily. Claire and Emily clearly take the lead, but Emily remembers back to when she would let her sister do all the attacking.
The story takes place in Okinawa, where Haruka forms a beach volleyball pair with Kanata. Kanata, who couldn't handle the pressure put on her by her short height, had given up on beach volleyball already, but is convinced by Haruka to step back on the sand once again and aim for the junior tournament.
