Report 143

Plot
Arata comes back from the locker room and returns the butler costume to Honoka. She thanks him for covering for Chizuru during the project, and tells him that everyone was happy that he and Chizuru were the executive committee members.

With the preparations finished and the festival set to begin the next day, Arata and Chizuru address the class. Chizuru thanks them for their work, but Arata does not say a word. Still feeling regretful for her earlier behavior, Chizuru apologizes again, however to her amazement the class gives a joyous cheer and a round of applause. Among the crowd Rena looks on, unhappy about Arata's continuing disengagement.

Ryō notes in his report that things are looking worse between Arata and Chizuru, who have not spoken since the necktie incident. In the evening they are both thinking about contacting each other to apologize and talk about it, but neither of them does so in the end.

The festival begins, and some of the students are more comfortable with their roles and costumes than others. Uncomfortable with the idea of serving customers, Akira wants to rip the butler clothes off and run away, and Rena wears a sports jersey over her maid outfit out of embarrassment. Right after Arata turns up, Chizuru arrives wearing An's glasses and her hair in thick braids, An having given her an impressive makeover suitable for an English teahouse.
