Synopsis[]
Plot[]
Ms. Miyahira invites Tobaru for lunch at the rooftop. However, they are soon joined by Raido, Aharen, and Oshiro, and seeing Oshiro's desire to sit close to them, Tobaru has trouble controlling herself. She struggles even further when Raido and Aharen feed Oshiro and sit close to her. She finally collapses when she visualizes them as a family. That night, Tobaru imagines improbable romantic scenarios between Raido and Aharen to prepare, but faints again, with Miyahira finding her unconscious. The next day, Ishikawa and Satō invite Aharen, Raido, and Oshiro to the summer festival. They spread themselves by abilities to win the most prices possible. After playing some games, Aharen and Raido realize they've lost each other. Raido is approached by Futaba, who mistakes him for her father. After he reunites her with her father, Futaba finally thanks Raido, albeit inaudibly. Aharen appears beside Raido, thanking him for finding her. They watch the fireworks, as Aharen reveals that it is the first time she sees them properly, as her short stature hindered her. Raido decides to meet back with the group, and offers his hand to Aharen to take her there. She accepts it, blushing profusely.
