It's finally lunch break, all the students gathers in front of the results board, anxiously seeking their names on the board along with their results.
"No need to be hasty about it, there is a lot of people anyways." Keita said.
"Yeah, he's right. You need to chill, Ayumi-chan." Itsuki agreed.
"Fine..." Ayumi said. As they approach the board, a girl approached them.
"Futaba-san, it seems like you're here to compare our results." the girl said.
"Who were you again?" Keita scratched his head.
"How dare you...?!" The girl seemed furious.
"H-Hey... That's rather rude huh?" Itsuki said.
"I can't believe you had forgotten about me! Unbelievable!" The girl said.
"Fujioka Kamika is it? I do not intend to compete, but I'm here just to look at my results along with my friends." Keita suddenly said.
"Huh? I thought you forgot about me?" Kamika asked in response.
"I'm just teasing." Keita smiled.
"You..." Kamika blushed.
"Oh boy... I'm smelling blood already..." Itsuki thought.
"Keita! Let's just go already!" Ayumi dragged Keita away.
"W-wait!" Keita squirmed as he was being dragged away.
"I guess he changed..." Kamika muttered.
"Yeah, perhaps because of someone." Itsuki said.
"Pardon me, I haven't introduced myself properly. My name is Fujioka Kamika from 1-A." Kamika introduces herself to Itsuki.
"Ah, that's fine. My name is Kiryu Itsuki, nice to meet you as well." Itsuki responded.
Meanwhile, Himeko is hiding at a corner of a corridor, watching Itsuki and Kamika talking.
"This guy... He sure have a lot of girls talking to him huh?" Himeko thought.
"Eh? Impossible! The one who scored the highest is not from 1-A?!" A student said.
"How?! There must be a problem somewhere!" Another student protested.
"Excuse me..." Ayumi said to make way to the board.
"Keita! You... You're on the top!" Ayumi exclaimed.
"Huh?!" The students around were surprised.
"Futaba Keita... So this is him..." Some students began discussing about Keita. Keita nodded and began walking back to class.
"W-wait!" Ayumi catches up to Keita.
"There's no way you could have scored that high right?" Ayumi asked.
"I'm sure I answered them correctly. I reviewed them thrice after I completed them." Keita said.
"Woah... You must be kidding me..." Ayumi opened her mouth in awe.
"Huh? Finished looking at your results? Keita." Itsuki asked.
"Yes. Now I'm heading back to class." Keita said.
"Already? What did you got?" Itsuki asked.
"I got first." Keita said with a poker face.
"Huh?! You got first?!" Kamika is surprised.
"Yeah. I think you should go and look at your results yourself." Keita said.
"Curse you..." Kamika starts running towards the board.
"Wow, she really is serious in this." Itsuki said.
"Yeah... I'd wish her good luck." Keita said.
"I don't think you should be saying that..." Ayumi said.
"It can't be... How come I've lost to him again...?" Kamika thought as she looked at the rankings, she is at second, right next to Keita.
"Ah... I see what is this about..." Itsuki understood as he saw the results.
"I'll get him next time!" Kamika said.
"Well, I know you can do it, go for it." Itsuki tried to console Kamika.
"Thanks, I'll make sure to take him down next time." Kamika said.
"What will you do if you take him down anyways?" Itsuki asked.
"I-I'll confess to him." Kamika said.
"Oh boy... Alright, good luck to that." Itsuki said as he leaves her alone.
"He's finally alone...!" Himeko, who has been hiding the whole time thought.
"There you are!" Himeko ambushed Itsuki.
"Oh, you're here all the time. What do you want?" Itsuki said.
"You knew?!" Himeko is disappointed.
"Yeah, I've been keeping an eye on you since you decided to follow me." Itsuki said.
"For that long...?! I lost..." Himeko thought.
"I'm planning to use a date to let both of you meet. So I'll need to make up an excuse to check out the streets so I can find a spot they can't find." Itsuki said.
"R-really?" Himeko sounded delighted.
"Yeah. I'll need you to back me up after school. Just give them whatever reasons I can't escort you home." Itsuki said.
"G-got it!" Himeko agreed.
"Now I need to get to Haru." Itsuki said.
After school, as promised, Itsuki got to the shopping district, looking for places where Himeko and Haru can hang out without being found by any of Yamaguchi's people.
"This place is quite hidden, but its not so appropriate..." Itsuki thought as he passed by an adult store.
"This place is quite open, although covered by the shops out there, someone who walks close enough will notice them..." Itsuki passed by a cafe.
"Too dark." Itsuki passed through a dark alleyway.
"Guess there is not really a good spot to hang around..." Itsuki thought.
"Oh right... I could do it this way." Itsuki thought of an idea.
"So it's decided. Now I just have to reach Haru... He should be at his cram school." Itsuki decided to look for Haru.
He travelled to Haru's cram school to look for him.
"Haru! Long time no see." Itsuki caught up to Haru.
"Kiryu... What are you doing here?" Haru asked.
"Woah, chill man. I'm here to help you with Himeko." Itsuki said.
"Himeko... I see. Let's talk elsewhere." Haru said.
"Ah, right." Itsuki follows Haru to a nearby shopping mart.
"So what is your plan?" Haru asked as he picks up groceries.
"With the given circumstances, I'm now engaged with Himeko." Itsuki said.
"Hmm... So what?" Haru said.
"Huh? Aren't you concerned?" Itsuki asked.
"I'm concerned, but there is nothing I can do if that is her father's wishes." Haru said.
"I'm here to tell you to come to the shopping district on this Saturday." Itsuki said.
"Saturday... I see. I'll give you my schedule for this Saturday." Haru said.
"I see, so it's decided. I'll meet you at the park nearby. I need to tell you where to wait later." Itsuki said.
"I see. Goodbye then." Haru checks with the counter with his groceries.
"Actually, are you keeping any secrets from me?" Itsuki asked.
"...!" Haru flinched.
"As always... You're surprisingly sharp." Haru complimented.
"That's right. To the details, shall we?" Itsuki said.
