Report 103

Plot
Before the fireworks display begins, both Kazuomi and Rena are nervous about confessing their feelings to each other. In their respective discussions with their friends, Kazuomi with Arata and Rena with Honoka and Chizuru, they agree to arrange a chance for them to be alone after they all go home after the fireworks.

As the group is about to sit down Arata asks Ryō to get An off his back, using the excuse that a ReLIFE subject and support staff member should not be spending so much time together. However, Ryō correctly guesses the real reason is that Arata does not appreciate him getting close to Chizuru, and suggests Arata sit next to her while he goes to sit with An. Despite his bitterness at Ryō's parting remark for Arata to enjoy his first and last summer vacation of high school, he does as Ryō suggested.

Arata sits down beside Chizuru, and she asks about what kind of relationship he has with Ryō. Still uncomfortable at hearing her use Ryō's first name and wondering about the same thing with respect to Chizuru and Ryō's relationship, Arata tells her that they are friends. As Chizuru further notes that Arata has the ability to easily become friends with everyone, in reply he points out that after all her hard work she is also now surrounded with friends. Happy if slightly embarrassed, Chizuru gives Arata the main credit for it, and as the fireworks start booming in front of them she tells Arata that she is glad to have met him.
