Report 22

Plot
As lunch break begins An suggests to Arata that they have lunch together. While he is happy to have company Arata is somewhat hesitant. He thinks that in high school a girl and a boy having lunch together may lead others to think they are dating, which might be inconvenient for An. Luckily the situation is resolved as Kazuomi asks to join them so they can talk about studying for the retests. Kazuomi also asks if Rena wants to join them, however she refuses as she is having lunch with people from the volleyball club. As Arata, An and Kazuomi leave the classroom together, passing Ryō's desk, Ryō glances at them, gives a sigh, and then leaves for the cafeteria alone.

After they have finished eating Arata and An show their test papers to Kazuomi, who was not expecting their answers to be as bad as they are. During the discussion An asks Kazuomi to call her by her given name, and Kazuomi suggests An do likewise but she says she prefers to keep using his family name and honorific. An and Kazuomi exchange phone numbers, and reminded of Chizuru asking him for his phone, Arata thinks to himself it would be great if she was with them. As An asks Arata for his number, asking him to call her by her given name with no honorific, Arata does so without second thought. Kazuomi is struck by how natural it seemed to Arata to do it and wonders if he might be a womanizer. An then changes the subject to Rena, completely surprising Kazuomi by asking if she is his girlfriend.
