Now its the turn of the members to ask questions to Mr. Yasukochi (the Teacher) who they do not know much about. They start off by asking basic questions. Higuchi then gets fixated by colors and the questions become more personal (lol). Suzuki asks them to cut it out!

Shinuchi concludes Mr. Yasukochi is a "Rich Man" as he buys stuff in Roppongi Hills.

Roppongi Hills is a development project in Tokyo and one of Japan's largest integrated property developments, located in the Roppongi district of Minato, Tokyo. It is a city within a City! A Modern entertainment and shopping complex, the building  features offices, apartments, shops, restaurants, a hotel, an art museum, an observation deck and more.

Suzuki asks Higuchi that if she will beat others at English. Other members oppose to this conclusion.
