Little Butsters - ep07

Things return to the original focus after another on of their ridiculous fights. Things transition to a point where they are having lunch, where Masato has to suffer the indignity of have the title of “Idiot” because of his lost to Rin. This gets Kyousuke having the continue the search for members since the don't have a full team yet, this leads to Riki being elected for this task with his previous successes. Which shortly after Riki runs into Saigusa Haruka who was introduction earlier in the series. It turns out that she going to be the new member, but things are a bit difficult with trouble she is know for causing. This is shown through when she is trying out for the team by her playing catch ball with herself instead of telling them she is left-handed. Although things are cut short, when it is discover that she was ditching detention.

Later is gets involved with them because of a prank she set up, which happens to spring on Kengo. Although initially Kengo blames Masato for it because he doesn't believe that anyone else would be stupid enough to do something like this. Haruka proves him wrong by indirectly admitting to the crime. Then when the disciplinary committee come after her for taking the buckets with permission, she runs away while kidnapping Riki in the process. However when she encounters Futaki Kanata, she become surprisingly docile. Which seems to be some sort of conflict between the two, because it seem almost like she is unreasonable bias against her.

Things come to a conclusion when Haruka is having another confrontation with Kanata. Where the disciplinary committee is accusing her of theft. However when Riki she what is going on he step-up to defend her. Although their case seems to be really weak because, they say that she illegal obtain the cans from a vending machine. Haruka explains that she did no such thing, that when she bought one, she manage to win three more. However they feel even if this is true, it is unfair to the rest of the students that have to pay for drinks from the vending machine. This objection is a bit silly because it is like the casino complaining about someone winning on a slot machine. Riki comes up with a reasonable solution that if the three other cans are payed for there should no-longer be a problem. This what he does, and because Riki believed in her when no-one else did. This results in her joining the little busters.
