Haruka promises Narumi and Ayasa that she'd play with them again without giving it much thought, but they happen to be the national champions. Haruka starts training with Kanata, who plays beach volleyball herself, for the rematch that's in a week.
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.
