An uninterested Shinichi reminds her that she already told that story while she drank and yelled all night long at his apartment. Once again at a bar, it’s Saiko who gripes about her issues to Shinichi, mainly that another girl has gotten the lead singing part she’d wanted. This declaration only further depresses her.
Saiko approaches the boy at that point and while she seems to flirt with him, Mine breaks it to Nodame that she won’t win against Saiko who’s known as the Madonna of the vocal music majors.
Mine worries what her deflated state will do to his performance final and declares that he’ll help her win the guy back, only to learn that the upperclassmen she loves is none other than Chiaki, his previous accompanist who’d upset him. She recalls how that morning she’s seen Saiko dragging a tired Shinichi out of his apartment and escorting him to school, horrified that the woman had stayed in his house that night. The following day, Mine is aghast to find Nodame a soulless shell. At that moment, Nodame returns home and is heartbroken to see the two together, never believing he had a “girlfriend”. The girl takes his insult personally and when he tries to deny he meant her, she asks if he has a new girlfriend.
His peaceful night is interrupted by the doorbell ringing and, thinking it’s Nodame come to pester him, he answers it while insulting the other person, realizing too late that it’s actually Saiko Tagaya (his ex-girlfriend). He compares her to a stray cat following anyone who’ll feed her, then ditches his own dinner to listen to a music CD, a Beethoven collection conducted by Maestro Vieira. He goes home with a prepackaged dinner, and though he seems perfectly fine with them together, he’s angry over how happy Nodame was to eat their food. Chiaki recalls Mine’s horrible violin playing and realizes he is the person who Nodame will be accompanying. Elsewhere, Chiaki is pondering what he’ll cook for dinner tonight but as he passes by Uraken, he’s aghast to see Nodame inside stuffing her face while Mine’s dad calls her Mine’s “destined one”. The next day, Mine is overjoyed with how his violin sounds to Nodame’s piano, saying that she plays “with soul” and calling her the ultimate partner. Finishing her food, Nodame begins to romanticize about the two of them being married which he angrily rejects, but softens up when she asks him to teach her the song she’s going to be accompanying another turned with (though he does blow up at her for getting it wrong). It’d started two weeks ago when he rejected her inedible cooking and after sharing a better meal, was flattered by her praise of him and became her cook ever since. He’s angry over playing “volunteer” again in feeding her every night. In his apartment, Chiaki’s cooking is interrupted by the arrival of Nodame who asks to crash his dinner. Mine immediately finds her cute and, seeing that she’s a piano major, asks her to be his new accompanist. At this same moment, Nodame is passing by and trips on the cord for his violin, crying over her ruined rice ball. The last pianist accompaniment gave up on him, that person coincidentally being Chiaki who called him unpleasant to work with, but Mine believes it’s Chiaki’s inabilities that are to blame, declaring that his perfect accompanist must be flexible and artist. His bandmate, however brings up that Mine has violin finals the following week and f he doesn’t ace them, he’ll have to repeat a year. In actuality, Mine has come to play his electric violin, a member of a band hoping to prefer rock. From the window, Reina and Maki are once again making comments, calling him the son of the owner of Chinese Restaurant Uraken and wonder if he’s making a delivery to the campus. Violin Major Ryuutaro Mine is walking through the university campus, calling every other student mediocre. However, the reappearance of Saiko in Shinichi's life derails her abilities and endangers Mine's chances to pass. Violin Major Ryuutaro Mine despises classical music and for his final exam, seeks help from Nodame as his accompanist.
