Plot
In the school cafeteria Honoka and Chizuru note to Rena that she appears to be in a good mood now that she got the date with Kazuomi that she wanted. Rena reveals that she noticed Chizuru was following them together with Arata, but pretended not to see them as she thought they might be on a date as well. Chizuru says that while it was not really a date she did have a great time, and Rena and Honoka note that she and Arata should start going out already.

Meanwhile Kazuomi is telling Arata and An about the date, and is quite embarrassed by Arata teasing him about finally managing to kiss Rena. He also tells them he is going to Aoba university and is looking forward to spending more time with them next year. As Arata is forced to act along like he is still going to be there next year, he thinks that Kazuomi is remarkable for having the courage to speak openly about the things he wanted to keep hidden from the people he loves, and Chizuru likewise believes that she understands how tense it must have been for Kazuomi. As she wonders to herself what Arata would think if he knew the truth about her and whether he would be disappointed in her if he did, Arata thinks the same thing about Chizuru learning the truth about him. However, they both conclude that they are never going to reveal the truth.
