A voyeurism scandal breaks out at Kirio Girls' Junior High School, where Akari attends. Sakikubo (Mei Nagano) and Motohashi (Shunsuke Michieda) head to the school to interview the basketball club. As they listen to the students' stories, Sakikubo and his team begin to suspect that the basketball club's advisor, Haga (Takahashi Tsutomu), is involved in the voyeurism.
Sakikubo called Akari and asked, "You know about the secret website of the school, right?" Sakikubo pointed out that a certain account might be Akari and asked, "I'm protecting Haga-sensei, but if you know anything, can you tell me?"
Akari then raised her voice and said, "What do you mean, 'Discovering a future star!' After all, it was just an investigation into the voyeurism incident." Sakikubo revealed that the idea was Kaiba's, and said, "Your father wants to protect you no matter what it takes. I think parents are creatures who will do anything for their children."
"Are you really on my side? What if I did something wrong?" Akari asked. Sakikubo replied, "I'll apologize with you. Whether you're a child or an adult, no one makes mistakes." Then Akari confessed that she had cheated.
Takeshita, who played Akari, is 15 years old and was born on January 14, 2010. She is from Tokyo. She was a regular model for the elementary school fashion magazine "Nico☆Puchi" (Shinchosha) from the February 2021 issue to the June 2023 issue. In August 2023, she was selected as "Miss Seventeen 2023", an exclusive model for the teen media "Seventeen" (Shueisha).
On social media, she has attracted attention with comments such as, "Takeshita Yuna is so cute, I have a feeling she will become a big actress one day," "Takeshita Yuna is 15 years old. A truly beautiful girl has been discovered," "Takeshita Yuna, who plays Akari, is definitely the next breakout actress," "She has an incredibly beautiful face, yet is also approachable and elegant.
