Background
When Natsusa Yuzuki came back, he was surrounded by the other players greeting him and Gakuto then showed up and told them to not waste time before he goes start stretching. Natsusa then greeted Gakuto and he asked him if he was sure. Natsusa then started whining and asking if he was too annoying, which surprised Gakuto and he didn't know what to say. Ikuto Yufu then showed up and told Natsusa to not cause that much trouble for Gakuto. Gakuto explained he just wanted to be sure and that he will respect his wishes. He then told Natsusa to wait until the meeting before he makes his announcement for becoming a manager and was about to pat him on the head, but as he remembered his injuries, he patted him on the shoulder.
