Plot
While Chizuru herself is impassive about her makeover, Honoka finds her doll-like appearance very cute. As An catches Arata too taking a pretty long look, she warns him against letting some other guy steal her. Before the festival starts the students want to have their photos taken wearing their costumes, however Arata uses excuses to avoid being in any of the pictures. Ryō tells him that it is all right for him to get photographed as he will be removed from the photos afterwards, but Arata only responds by joking about the shady methods used by the company.

Later, Chizuru tells Rena and Honoka she is leaving to visit the executive committee headquarters and do some advertising among the crowd. Rena wonders why she is not telling that to her fellow executive committee member Arata, but wanting to avoid him Chizuru gives the excuse that he is in the middle of serving customers, failing to convince Rena.

After their shift in the teahouse is over, Kazuomi asks if Arata wants to spend some more time with him before he meets Rena for a festival date when she comes back from a play she told him she is doing with the volleyball club. Arata lies to Kazuomi that there is something he has to do in the headquarters, and Kazuomi leaves on his own. Afterwards, Arata is feeling down by having arranged things so he has to be alone during the festival. However, in the hallway Rena grabs him by his shoulder, saying she wants to have a talk with him.
