Plot
Arata and Honoka return to the classroom, and Honoka leaves for her volleyball practice straight away. As Arata is also about to go home Chizuru enters the classroom, having been in the staff room herself to ask some questions about the tests. Arata notes to Chizuru that he is happy to see she has been making more friends, as she has been having lunch with Rena and Honoka lately. Blushed, Chizuru tells Arata she has him to thank for it and that she is happy about her friends, but spacing out for a second, she also admits she is somehow envious of them.

In turn Chizuru notes that Arata seems to be having fun at school. Arata tells her about his constant struggles with the retests, and with Rena's feelings for Kazuomi in mind Chizuru asks him if An is in love with Kazuomi just as as Honoka did just a little earlier. Giving a giddy laugh as he realizes that both of Rena's friend-and-rivals are looking out for her, Arata tells Chizuru he does not think so. He then asks her to walk to the station together, and as she agrees he is again cracked up by her silly response coupled with her seriousness.
