The coffee date is cancelled due to Kagero's unexpected return, so she reschedules it for the next day. However, after school the next day, Kagero drags Ririchiyo with him to several dating spots all over town, making matters worse. Later than night, Ririchiyo grows anxious by Soshi not responding to her apology text, so she decides to visit his room and offer him a melon to apologize. When she does apologize, Soshi acts out of character, causing her to get flustered and return to her room in distress. The very next morning, Soshi begs Kagero in not telling Ririchiyo his hidden secret, but Kagero denies, leading to an intensive battle between the two. Ririchiyo later finds the two and stops them from fighting, asking them to explain what the problem is. It is then that Soshi admits he is hiding something from Ririchiyo.
