"Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will." - Mahatma Gandhi

In the morning, Utaha, Eriri, Tomoya, Eddy and Utaha are in Blessing Software's office.

"Give it up, Utaha Kasumigaoka." Eriri said, "He's not coming. He hates the two of us."

"Do you really think he would not come?" Utaha asked dejectedly.

"Of course." Eriri stated, "If he'd come, then that's a miracle."

"And that miracle happened."

Eriri turned back and got a shock. Utaha, Megumi, and Tomoya were surprised to see Masaru at the entrance.

"Could you not give someone such false hope?" He asked, "I mean, unless Tomoya and Megumi doesn't allow me to work here, please don't belittle Utaha and her words."

Masaru and Eriri glared at each other.

"Let's not stare at each other like that." Tomoya pushed Eriri away and shook Masaru's hand, "Welcome back, Masaru. We're glad to have you back. And you can coach Eddy in coding too. He's new, so be easy on him."

"Okay, but what about my office?" Masaru asked.

"You'll be in Utaha's office instead." Tomoya said, "You two will share an office together."

"I'm worried Masaru might mind it..." Utaha was about to finish her sentence when Masaru interrupted her, "I'm fine with it."

Utaha looked at him as he brought his bag into her office.

Episode 13

At the same time, Lucy prepared her guitar as Michiru looked at her.

"Are you ready to play the song?" Michiru asked.

"Yeah, Ms Hyodo, but I'm waiting for someone."

Liam then came into the house with a loaf of bread. Michiru turned around and saw Liam. She immediately liked his handsome looks and fell in love with him instantly.

"Lucy, I'm back." Liam then turned to Michiru, "You must be the new teacher Lucy's been talking about."

"Yeah. My name is Michiru Hyodo." Michiru introduced herself, "You must be Mr Feng."

"Call me Liam." He introduced himself.

"Alright." Michiru then turned to Lucy, "C'mon, start playing the song. I want to see your progress."

"I'll make the sandwiches then." Liam said, "Ms Hyodo, do you want one too?"

"Yes."

Liam nodded and went into the kitchen. As Lucy started strumming the guitar, Michiru listened to it and looked at Liam dreamily at the same time.

"He's so handsome." Michiru thought to hersef as she smiled.

Back in Blessing Software's office, Masaru is sitting in Utaha's office while she brought in a cup of tea for him.

"Thanks for coming back, Masaru." Utaha said to him, "Blessing Software didn't cope that well without you."

"Let's get this straight." Masaru said, "First off, I'm here to work because the coder here is really shitty. The choices are of the same name, and the movements of some characters are just absurd. Second, we're not that close. Call me Masaru-san. Lastly, I did not come here because of your words. I just stood up for you because I don't want Eriri to keep bullying you by talking about me."
