The seventieth chapter (
F4's Akira and Sojiro invite Oto Edogawa and Haruto Kaguragi to Akira's house. There they lock the two in the guest house, something they have done previously. Oto finally plucks up the courage to speak truthfully to Haruto.
Plot
Oto Edogawa and Haruto Kaguragi are being driven home by F4 members Akira Mimasaka and Sojiro Nishikado. Sojiro asks whether they are dating, which they immediately deny. He correctly guesses that she was the reason he won the "Manly Man Festival" for. Haruto responds "That's in the past." The day's events have finally caught up with Oto, whose thoughts dwell on Haruto and Kei Windsor. Sojiro and Akira, meanwhile, show Haruto a magazine featuring Tsukasa Domyoji. Haruto is amazed by his role model and calls himself "pathetic" in comparison.
Sojiro invites Oto and Haruto to Akira's house, described as "a fairytale come to life." Oto points out the guest house, which she calls "cute". Akira and Sojiro show her and Haruto the inside. They briefly reminisce about locking Tsukasa and Tsukushi Makino in there before. Sojiro then says to Haruto "Looks like you're overthinking things again." He and Akira quickly exit and lock the door behind them. They promise to return in a bit to let them out. Oto and Haruto stare at them through the window in shock.
Kei returns to the convenience store and the manager is overjoyed to see him back. He insults him and another employee, essentially calling them dumb. Men in suits then enter and order Kei to come with them. Before leaving, Kei smiles at the manager and says thank you. Back in Akira's guest house, Haruto asks Oto if she wanted to go to America. He interrupts her answer, saying "If you wanted to go, I should've let you." Deciding not to "deny [her] feelings anymore," Oto declares "I wanted to see you, Haruto."
