At Tsuchi Elementary School in Itako City, all 153 students interacted with Player Nishi, Player Kubota, and C.R.O. Nakata. The interaction, held on the playground, involved different games for each grade level. Led by C.R.O. Nakata, they started with self-introductions. Player Nishi introduced himself by asking the children to call him "Daigo," Player Kubota as "Kazu," and C.R.O. Nakata as "Koji." Every time he was called "Daigo," Player Nishi would imitate the celebrity DAIGO and strike a "Wish!" pose.

First, they put on a demonstration. Player Kubota showed off a bicycle kick with juggling, while Player Nishi showcased professional skills like balancing the ball on his back. They even juggled the ball over the children's heads, drawing loud cheers from the kids.

The interaction with the 1st and 2nd graders was a game of rock-paper-scissors train. Player Kubota quickly lost and joined the train early. C.R.O. Nakata kept winning and made it to the final, but unfortunately lost, holding his head in regret.

The interaction with the 3rd and 4th graders was a game of chain tag. In this game, if you get caught, you hold hands, and the chain of taggers gets longer. Occasionally, the players would compare hand lengths with the children, showing that the distance between the players and the children was steadily shrinking.

The interaction with the 5th and 6th graders was dodgeball. Both players participated in the jump ball at the start of the match. Player Nishi took the ball with a full-power jump, and Player Kubota, despite C.R.O. Nakata's mischief, won decisively. Player Kubota was even hit by the ball and teased by the children.

Finally, they presented autograph boards and pennants, took commemorative photos, and concluded the interaction. Player Kubota said, "I had a great time with everyone and felt energized," and Player Nishi said, "Today, we are all friends. If you see me in town, please say hello. Please come to the stadium to watch your friend's game." Finally, the children formed an arch and said goodbye with high fives.
