Kazuma accepts the engagement ending
When Tenma was injured in Kyoto, Kazuma and Mirei quickly flew there from Tokyo. The doctor explained to them about Tenma's nerve injury and felt that there was "hope for a full recovery." Kazuma and Mirei soon heard from the police that the assailants confessed to the incident. Mirei became distressed, reiterating that she was against the engagement and yelled "If he wasn't dating her, this never would have happened!"

He was "very disappointed" and asked for a meeting in order to discuss it.[5] On the day of, Oto arrived without her mother whom was sick. Kazuma asked Oto her reason for ending the engagement. Tenma attempted to interrupt, taking all the blame himself. Oto informed him that she was "in love with someone else."[6] Kazuma accepted the reason calmly, despite his disappointment. He apologized to Tenma and Oto for not putting their feelings first, and to his wife for his "selfishness."[7] A couple days later, Tenma told his father that he wanted to transfer to Momonozono Academy's sister school in Los Angeles.[8] Kazuma questioned if he wanted to leave because of Oto, which Tenma denied saying "This is for me."[9]
