Episode 24 Plot: The rumors start flying about Harima and Eri being together. While she is too ashamed to go to school, he is outraged when he finds out about it. To make things worse for him, Tenma outspokenly supports their "relationship", dealing a fatal blow to Harima's confidence. Sitting alone at the tea club room, Harima tells Yakumo to fetch him something in the classroom on which he wants to change the name (presumably his manga series, which is the only legacy he would carry from then on), but meanwhile, Eri leaves a bag on his desk containing the jacket he left with her, with the name tag sewn on by her. Yakumo mistakenly picks it up and fixes it, just as Eri finds her at the tea club room, looking for Akira. They then confront each other about Harima, and matters complicate due to Yakumo having to keep the manga in total secrecy. Later, Tenma and the others are waiting on Eri at the cafe where Yakumo works. From the moment Eri arrives, she intimidates Tenma's sister, by telling them it's Yakumo that Harima has his sights set on. She can only confirm that they have been together as of late, without explicitly telling what they do. Instead of being disappointed, Tenma is highly supportive of Yakumo being with Harima, seeing her as an example to take her relationship with Karasuma one step further, but she doesn't bother to listen when Yakumo tries to make it clear that her relationship with Harima is strictly professional. That night, while Tenma tries to bake a cake for Karasuma's coming birthday, Harima leaves town by ship. While there, he is forced to do chores for the pirate-like sailors and their hulking captain. After throwing to the sea a message for Tenma in a bottle, he finds the sailors mocking his manga, which infuriates him. However, their cowardice puts Harima in a disadvantage. Before the head sailor can pierce through his hand with a hook, though, the captain stops him, informing them that a storm approaches.
