Chapter 29 (Todai Revengers)

"Regard" is the seventh chapter of the third volume and the 29th chapter overall of the Todai Revengers parody, written and illustrated by Shinpei Funatsu.

Summary
Back in the present, Michitake gets scolded by his manager at work. He is upset upon knowing that he still works the same job and that he did not accomplish anything. Looking at his phone, he notices a scheduled meeting later that day at Shibuya Izakaya.

Arriving at the venue, Michitake meets Makkun, who praises him upon arrival. Michitake remembers Makkun's goodbye after revealing that he will attend a different medical school. He asks him if he still works for the trading company, but to his surprise, Makkun reveals that he works at Todai University. Michitake cries after learning this, delighted that he changed Makkun's fate.

As they dine, Yariel is shocked that they still have the same ignorant conversations about looking down on non-Todai University graduates. Suddenly, Michitake's phone goes off, and he finds out that Hayase sent him a friend request online. Michitake is hesitant to accept it because he does not want to see her married life with Ueda, but Yariel points out that Hayase has herself listed as "single" on her account. She encourages Michitake to get in touch with her, and Michitake is dumbfounded. He learns that Hayase works for a well-known advertisement company, which intimidates him because he is merely a convenience store worker. However, Makkun believes that he must not be ashamed because he graduated from Todai University and has a higher average than Hayase.

After the meeting, Michitake and Makkun part ways, leaving Michitake to wonder about Hayase's whereabouts. He believes it is impossible to run into her in public, but a young adult woman suddenly calls out to him, whom Michitake recognizes as Hayase.
