The following day after the pool incident, Hiroto and Junichiro were visited by the Akemiya Family and he was given some treats as their gratitude for rescuing Ruki from drowning. Whilst Ruki's mother apologized her daughter's behavior a year ago, Hiroto replied that helping a classmate was an obligation.

However, despite garnered his classmates' and parents' admiration for him, Hiroto's relationship with Ruki remained sour until he received a chocolate on one Valentine Day which he viewed as her appreciation gift.

At home, Hiroto read the letter and according to the letter, Ruki thanked him for the rescue while apologized for the milk incident which still bothered her even when she was drowning into the pool-causing Hiroto to think Ruki was actually a clumsy yet helpful girl who just wanted to protect her friend. Hiroto also received a letter from Ruki's mother who, whilst thanking him for correcting Ruki from the milk incident, viewed him as a better politician in the future.

With the words of Ruki and her mother impacted his life, Hiroto's path for greatness began with him as a class president on his 6th grade.
