While Sota remains stressed over the other day's events, Izumi, assuming he had broken up with Popura, tries to set Sota and Mahiru up with each other, unaware of the actual circumstances between them. As a result, Mahiru meets up with Sota while wearing a paper bag on the head, bearing her feelings in front of the "stranger" before her until Sota unmasks her. As things soon start falling into place for him, Sota starts to get heated up over the thought of Mahiru being in love with him.
