Summary[]
Haruto Kaguragi wakes up in Oto Edogawa's hospital room, having been knocked out by her after accidentally touching her breast. On their way home, he apologizes for his inadvertent role in her getting beat up. Oto also attempts to apologize for an earlier comment, though Haruto refuses her apology and places all the blame on himself. They become friends again now that the misunderstanding is cleared. The following day, Oto returns to Eitoku Academy but decides to live life on her own terms, no longer keeping "a fake smile on [her] face." Haruto issues a warning to Airi Maya but forgives her. She seems disturbed by his words and destroys her bedroom, when she goes home that night.[4]
Bored, Haruto vists Oto at the convenience store. Her coworker, Arisa Konno invites them to hang out with her and her boyfriend, Mi-tan. Oto only reluctantly goes along with it, but ends up having a nice time with everyone. At the batting cages, Haruto shows his dedicated side by keeping at it until he hits a home run. They then move on to a restaurant, where Airi unexpectedly arrives.[5] Airi tearfully apologizes to Oto, who forgives her though Haruto remains skeptical about her sincerity. She then brings Oto and Haruto to a store and gives her a new dress. Airi sends Haruto ahead of them to a café and takes Oto to the basement for another "present". She actually locks her in a dark room, where Oto finds Tenma Hase.[6]
Tenma reveals that Airi lured him into the basement by telling him that Oto "[was] in danger". He is relieved to see that she is okay. Meanwhile, Airi meets Haruto at the café. Haruto becomes angry, when she refuses to say where Oto is. He eventually manages to set Oto and Tenma free. Two days later, Airi goes missing and Kaito Taira asks Oto for help.[7] Haruto refuses to aid their search. Oto goes searching on her own, following a clue to an abandoned factory. She finds Airi nearly passed out and holds her. At the same time, Haruto remembers an old memory, which helps him finally realize Airi's love for him. He arrives at the factory and carries Airi to safety, while telling her sorry.[8]
The next day, Airi visits a sick Oto at her home. Attempting to get over Haruto, Airi now supports his crush on Oto and asks if "there [is] still hope for [him]". She then whisks Oto away to a resort, despite the latter's protests. Oto walks alone on a nearby beach and coincidentally runs into Haruto.[9] Nervous, Haruto unfortunately comes off looking arrogant during their conversation. Oto then goes inside to watch Issa Narumiya's flower arranging demonstration. Afterwards, she goes into the resort's hot springs. A few minutes later, Haruto gets into the hot springs and sees a naked girl, taking him by surprise. His screams are loud enough to be heard by Oto and Airi in a different bath.[10]
