Chika's sudden love confession leaves Shintarou and Koto completely flustered. As Kazuhiko, Anna, and Lemon watch the drama unfold, Shintarou asks for time to think, causing Chika to run away. When he fails to immediately clarify that he and Koto are just childhood friends, she slaps him and disappears as well.
Shintarou seeks advice and learns from Anna that Koto has gone off alone. He finds her and clears up a misunderstanding: he thought he had proposed to her last Christmas, but in reality, he only said he would marry her if she couldn’t find anyone else. Koto had been waiting for a genuine love confession all along. As they embrace and cry, Chika watches from a distance, accepting her role as a friend—though she remains torn inside.
Though Koto wins Shintarou’s affection, she’s moved by Chika’s request to stay in the club. The two girls share a tearful hug, which Anna and Kazuhiko notice. For the moment, peace seems to have returned among the friends.
However, the mood shifts when Anna becomes a topic of conversation in class due to her popularity. Kazuhiko overhears hurtful remarks about her and decides to distance himself. Coldly, he tells her he only used her, even as Anna insists she enjoyed their time together. Hurt by the rumors, she agrees to stop speaking to him.
Later in the clubroom, Kazuhiko tries to apologize, but Anna seems to have moved past the incident and focuses on her friends instead. Chika teases Kazuhiko about his situation. Meanwhile, Anna’s childhood friend Sousuke confronts him—only to thank him for his support. As tensions rise, Anna steps in, making it clear that neither of them can dictate how she should feel.
With the semester ending and summer break beginning, the friends reconcile. Anna joins Kazuhiko, Lemon, and Chika on the steps, all looking forward to more club activities. When Kazuhiko asks Anna if she’ll be his girlfriend, she laughs, having expected a romantic gesture. Both realize their friendship was never in question.
