Plot
After her run Honoka goes to talk with Rena and compliments her on her fast time, however Rena is not happy with it since she lost to Honoka. Arata notices that Rena seems quite friendly with Honoka, and Kazuomi tells him Honoka and Rena often have lunch together. Hearing this, Arata thinks that Rena seeing Chizuru as her rival might not be a problem for Chizuru's attempt to become friends with her after all.

Arata gets distracted from his thoughts watching the girls, noting that Honoka looks quite good cheerfully chatting in just her gym clothes. However, he is quickly interrupted by Akira grabbing him in a choke hold for giving pervy looks at Honoka. Nobunaga saves Arata, dragging Akira away and explaining that he can get a little crazy over Honoka. Kazuomi tells Arata that Honoka has been friends with both of the two guys since kindergarten, though as Arata asks if Akira and Honoka are a couple, Kazuomi unsurprisingly has no idea.

Chizuru approaches Rena and calls to her by her time in the sprint as she does not know her name. Thinking it was a sarcastic remark for her losing to Honoka Rena is angered, and even as Chizuru explains the situation Rena finds it hard to believe she does not know who she is as they have attended the same representative committee meetings. Chizuru makes things worse by asking Rena for her name with one of her forced smiles, but nevertheless Rena introduces herself offering a handshake. Oblivious to the meaning of her gesture Chizuru hangs a stopwatch on Rena's extended hand. As Rena wonders about it Chizuru explains she approached Rena because she needed someone else to take over the stopwatch duties as it is her turn to run, and Rena was the person standing closest to her. As she takes the times Rena feels stupid for Chizuru not seeing them as rivals like she herself does, or even knowing her name.
