Report 191

Plot
In the gym class Chizuru and Honoka sit beside the court talking. Honoka tells Chizuru that Rena got invited on a Christmas date noting it must be nice being a couple, and Chizuru asks Honoka if she is in love with anyone. Honoka admits that there is someone and tells Chizuru the name asking to keep it a secret, explaining that her love will never come true as the other person already likes someone else and Honoka wants to preserve both their relationships with a third person.

With downcast eyes Chizuru says it is the same with her love for Arata and that she does not believe Arata feels the same as her. However, Honoka suggests Chizuru find out by asking Arata out on a Christmas date, explaining that she and Rena don't want Chizuru to have regrets for giving up on all the progress she has made in getting close with Arata. Remembering Rena asking her what she really wants and Arata encouraging her to enjoy the present moment during the fireworks festival, Chizuru admits she must stop running away.

Arata leaves school at the end of the day, wondering about Chizuru's blatant avoidance of him. However, at the gates he unexpectedly meets Chizuru who has apparently been waiting for him.
