----------------------------------------
Chiaki ran to Elise and told her he cannot do the concert because it's not related to Opera. Elise then fear him by saying he and Nodame's level would get bigger apart. Nodame already got many offers after Paris, all those cannot let Chiaki conduct. Conductor takes more time than pianist to get popular, so Chiaki must accept those offers to get more career ups. Chiaki said but the opera... Elise said if he gets famous as conductor, he can always do it. Stresseman might let him do it without him noticing (Chiaki's face shocking). Elise left and said just try his best with the job.
Chiaki is remembering what Nodame said before leaving for Paris. Chiaki, sad smile, said that Nodame already passed him, huh?
The girls in the university are excited about Chiaki, while opera's practice still goes on without Chiaki. They are disappointed.
Two heavy pairs are getting hot from the intense practice and requested for AC. The pretty co-actress gave them cakes! The heavy girl destroyed them because she said she's on diet. The heavy guy next him hit her and reminded her that she ate sweet yesterday. She said she's going to do it beginning today. They argument begins (something about her body needs to fit the dress during the performance). The girl who offered cakes said sorry. The heavy girl said don't act nice! Then guys blamed her for destroying the foods and ate them.
The conductor replacing Chiaki was amazed at the interaction. The okama guy said if her diet failed, he would be the one fixing the dress. Then the pretty girl offered to help. He asked her why she is here when there's no practice for her and Chiaki's not here. She was kind of confused. He asked if she likes Chiaki. She said yes, but she's not aiming for him because he already have a girlfriend (Nodame). She said there are many people like her, right? (then the arrow points at him as "one of them") She said she doesn't have anything to do, that's why she offered to help. She asked him what can she do. He said then shorten the dress.
She liked Chiaki since she was young, but she forgot about it until recently (lol). Both of them are annoyed at the opera.
One week later, Chiaki is back again. He wants to rest, but is worrying about the opera.
The heavy girl said why curry?! (Making fuss over food again) And made it like an opera. Chiaki saw it and asked what kind of opera is that.
She's been dieting with only water for a week! Her original plan was to eat one meal per day but gained 3kg, so she only drinks water! Chiaki told her to change the way of dieting, but she said she already lost 3kg and her foot size changed! Chiaki said why the sudden (because she's been not interested for a long time). It was because of the poster for the opera. Even though she's the main role, she looked smaller than the pretty girl. Mine said she would look smaller if he shrunk her photo.
She doesn't want to not get the roles in the future, so she will definitely lost weight.
Then there's an explanation (Chiaki's thought) for those who are heavy are unable to get the job because not fitting the cloth, even though it should be normal for those opera singers to be heavier. But it's not good for the sudden change to the body because it's like instrument.
Chiaki is forcing her to eat properly even though she didn't want to. She is regrettable for eating all of them! After that, she gained energy and is doing well on the practice. The heavy guy (not his turn) said it's impossible for her to diet now because she would need more energy to do opera.
The pretty girl and okama guy are jealous and stood behind him darkly.
The pretty girl is gone, and Nodame came to see Chiaki, who is doing stretch for the heavy girl! He said doing stretch can lost weight, not just controlling the diet (way of eating). Both the okama guy and Nodame are shocked with fear of Chiaki getting stolen by her!
