Kotarou's answer is that he's going to the bathroom. He asks if Kotarou is a student to which Kotarou says that he was until today. (The two continue to have an odd conversation; Kotarou thinks he is just being honest while Tasakago is just asking bad questions). Eventually Kotarou makes the mistake of saying that Tasakago's ears look like gyoza (Chinese food made by steaming and grilling meat and vegetables wrapped in wheat flour dough). Kotarou denies making fun of his ears, but in the process of explaining he accidently says the word "gyoza". Tasakogo gets mad and chases Kotarou out of the bathroom. Akane sees them as they come out but turns around and falls to her knees from seeing Tasakago's pants unzipped. While chasing him Tasakago screams for Kotarou to stop running just so he can crush him. He corners Kotarou and tells him that his blood will soon be all over his gyoza-ears. Kotarou asks for them to talk about the situation first, but Tasakago says that his ears are too messed up to hear him.
