Hiroto goes to Yamanashi to pick up Ai (Ono Machiko) and Lion (Sato Sora), but is chased away by Shogo (Mukai Osamu).
Afterwards, Hiroto reported to Michito, "I'm sorry. I couldn't come back with the lions." As he said in a tearful voice, "I might never see them again..." he began to cry, saying, "Mikkun, I'm sorry."
Mijito says, "Why are you apologizing? I didn't do anything wrong," but Hiroto cries, "I'm sorry I'm a bad brother." Mijito gently strokes Hiroto's back, saying, "I'll take a deep breath. Inhale and exhale."
Comments on social media included, "Yagira Yuya's acting made me cry as he shed tears as he worked hard for his siblings with a strong sense of responsibility," "Yagira Yuya is great after all. I shed tears too at the kind brothers," "The scene at the end where Hiroto cries is so typical of Yagira Yuya. And I shed tears at the sight of Mi-kun gently rubbing his back," "Michito comforting the crying Hiroto just couldn't stop the tears. Everyone in the film gives amazing acting. In fact, it doesn't even look like he's acting," and "Yagira Yuya's tears brought me to tears. The Lion's Lair is full of wonderful actors."
