Three weeks pass by and when the assistants visit Teppei to check up on him, Genki argues with Itsuki over how popsicle sticks are better than watermelon bars. It's noted that, Teppei's studio sweltering hot and that it's hotter inside than outside. This is because Teppei forgot to turn the a/c on. They then learn that Teppei hasn't completed the manga chapter yet, even though, Genki is impressed by the rejected pages.
