After failing to see Mikoto in a swimsuit during swim class, Akira sees an image of her in a swimsuit whilst tasting her sweat. As summer vacation arrives and the two continue their drool swapping tradition, Akira manages to build up the courage to ask Mikoto on a date to the beach. A week passes and Akira and a tanned Mikoto head to the beach where they eat yakisoba and swim in the ocean. Upon spotting a tanline from Mikoto's pair of scissors, Akira gets a nosebleed which Mikoto later experiences when she tries Akira's drool on the way home.
