Echizen shrugs. And just because he likes calling people out on things, "You didn't answer my question."

But then Eiji interrupts. "Ochibi! Stop speaking in English. She understands Japanese, you know!"

"It's not my fault you don't understand English, Kikumaru-senpai," Echizen tells him, correctly guessing the main cause of Eiji's frustration (and finally speaking in Japanese). "Maybe you should study harder."

"Echizen, that's mean," Ōishi says, actually looking a little stern.
