"Heroes are people too... Our good deeds are what connect us with others..."

- Teru Momijiyama to Iko Koishikawa

"Respect" (します) is the fifth chapter of first volume of SHY manga series.

Summary
It was a few days after Iko Koishikawa's transformation, specifically in a Sunday, and Teru Momijiyama is looking at her cellphone until someone calls her. It is Iko who apologized for her delay as there was queue at hospital. Teru notices her leg and asks about it, Iko answers that it doesn't hurt anymore and that there is nothing wrong with it. N-Villio said that it could be a side effect of the ring and she regrets the little they know about it.

Iko takes her out of her thoughts by pulling her by the hand, saying that she would repay her that day. Both spend the day having fun until Iko finally notices that Teru is tired, apologizing for not realizing she was the indoor type. They stop to eat and Iko apologies again, making Teru thinks it was her fault, so she tried to change the subject, commenting about the nurse's reaction about her excuse for the wreck in the nurse's office and laughed nervously, more so when Iko is reminded by what she did and Teru is ashamed of herself.

Iko says she respects her for what she does, making her blush but then she asks if anyone else knows about her secret identity. Teru responds that only her knows about it as she finds her costume embarassing. Iko is happy to notice that she is Shy's only friend, catching her attetion, but she then suggests go elsewhere relaxing and Teru agrees.

They plan to visit a cat photo exhibition but hear a crying child, noticing he was lost. Iko quickly calms him down and takes him in her shoulders, telling Teru they would take a detour to which she agrees. She notes the other is really good with children and Iko says that is because she takes care of her brother, taking the opportunity to thank her for having saved him the other day. They then find his parents and the children is returned to them.

Before the two friends can get back to their business, the child thanks her and Iko tells him to show kindness to others, too. Teru tries to say something to Iko, however, she is excited and happy that she said something Shy would. Teru tells Iko that she also respects her for what she did to the boy, but she feels embarrassed since she talked so much. Both returns to hang out until they come across a Stardust's poster.

Iko asks Teru if she knows him to which she denies, but the other shows some knowledge about the Britain Hero since she read a book about him. They agree that he should be someone compassionate to do so many good things for others. The conversation is interrupted by a call from Spirits who tell her both Teru and Iko were summoned to the space base, telling them Stardust would also be there. Teru askes what Stardust is like and the Russian says he is "sort of a psycho".

The aforementioned is with a knife, sitting in the middle of a bunch of corpses and the director finalizes the scene, praising him about the album and invites him to a pub, but David refuses, saying he has a place to go after. He prepares his Heart Conversion Bracelets, stating that it has been a long time since he was called to the hideout.
