Synopsis[]
Part A[]
Rentarou meets his 9th soulmate, baseball club member Iku Sutou, who is recruiting members to replace the rest of the club while they're overseas. Learning that she needs to win an upcoming game in order to prevent the club from being shut down, Rentarou helps the masochistic athlete with recruiting calls in the quad.
Part B[]
After pretending to reject a confession from Iku and accepting her as a girlfriend, Rentarou asks the other girls to help out with the upcoming game, giving them a chance to work off the weight gained from the eating contest. Iku pushes herself beyond her usual limits during the subsequent training sessions, eventually prompting all the other girls to do so as well.
