Entering Middle School Arc

After she shoos them out of the club she says it's better to be carefree.

Shimane Tournament Arc
In their private room, Chisa begins to announce the lineup for the tournament. Rio questions as to why she was chosen to be on the team. Chisa tells her it is because of what Ayuko Yamamoto told her and examining her play record. She tells her that if they only count the mornings, Rio is top three in the club and thought it would be a good idea to name her vanguard of the team. At lunch time she takes the team out but warns them not to draw peoples attention. She announces a lineup change but gets a little resistance from Shino because of a rumor she heard. Chisa tells her that she has to worry about all three schools and that she doesn't want to twist the lineup due to speculation.

While watching Shino's match, Chisa says that the match so far is the same as every year prior, in that Komosawa is in first and the others try and destroy their stronghold. She then says whether or not they can do anything about it depends on the new girls. Chisa congratulates Shino when she gets back and says that was an amazing accomplishment.

Chisa mostly appears with the other manager Akiko. On the third day, she wakes the girls up and announces they are heading to the beach. She also informs them that as tradition at Yumachi, they're free to play all they want in the morning but in the evening they'll play nothing but mahjong. Chisa tells them to drink plenty before speeding the girls off to the beach.
