- Fumino trips into Nariyuki's arms, angering Rizu, so Fumino tries to push Nariyuki into Rizu's arms, but accidentally pushes him into Rizu's breasts. Fumino later learns Rizu only looked angry due to wearing old glasses and never actually saw her hug Nariyuki. While saving a cat from a tree Nariyuki meets Kirisu, who catches the cat but sprains her ankle. He helps her home and discovers that at home Kirisu is an untidy slob. Kirisu decides to tutor Nariyuki, since most of his free time is spent tutoring the girls. Nariyuki insists on tidying up and discovers Kirisu's figure skating awards. Kirisu explains she was a genius skater but had to give it up as it was not a viable career, which is why she wants the girls to use their talents since she was unable to use hers. Nariyuki claims he would rather they regret failing than not trying at all. After Nariyuki leaves Kirisu reveals she was actually extremely flustered at having a man in her flat and decides to spend more time cleaning. A rumour spreads Nariyuki is dating Fumino, and Nariyuki is so dense he makes it sound worse. He becomes the target of Fumino's fan club who wants to make sure Nariyuki is worthy. At first they are disappointed at the lack of romance but eventually decide it is enough that Fumino trusts Nariyuki, and the dating rumour is abandoned, to Fumino's relief. (en)
