Report 128

Plot
On their way to the executive committee meeting, Arata and Chizuru walk together with Akira and Honoka, who also has a meeting to attend as she is the athletic festival representative. As Arata wonders if Akira is going to the meeting because of Honoka, Chizuru sees an opportunity to continue her investigation about love and asks if Honoka and Akira are going out together. When Honoka denies, Chizuru continues in a serious tone, asking if she is sure they are not in love, and whether she wants to touch and be touched by him, and whether she wants to flourish. However, she has to stop her interrogation as they arrive at the room where they have their meeting.

Disturbed by having to once again deal with Chizuru's preoccupation with matters of love, Arata realizes that he is actually happy to focus his mind on the festival preparations instead, and that it is exactly what Ryō said to him earlier.

After the meeting, Arata and Chizuru talk about what project the class could do for the festival as they have to decide it during homeroom the next day. As Chizuru writes down some of their ideas, Arata asks her why she volunteered for the committee. She replies that while it is because she lost her position as class representative, it is also because she wants to use the opportunity to make good memories, like Arata told her to during the fireworks festival.
