Children's National Tournament Arc
Mei arrives late at the beginning of her match saying she got lost. Wakana Yonamine yells at her and then throws a tile at her. However the tile was caught by Shino Shiratsuki and the girl yells at Wakana for being mean. Throughout the match Wakana was constantly yelling at Mei causing the girl to be frazzled and make mistakes. She is in awe when Shino is unfazed and ends up defeating Wakana.

After the match she thanks everyone and when Wakana says something rude, Mei scolds her. She is later shown watching Shino's next match and rooting for the girl.
