Due to the rain Naoto invites them both to spend the night. Before going to sleep Satsuki teases them about kissing. Later, Ishihara sneaks into Naoto's room, planning to kiss him but Naoto mistakes her for Satsuki. This upsets Ishihara that he thought Satsuki was the most likely to sneak into his room instead of her, so she nervously offers to let him "do it". Naoto mistakes this to mean kissing, only to realise what she means when she mentions only just finishing her period so they can't "go all the way" just yet, only "half way". Unsure of her exact meaning Naoto controls himself and tells Ishihara they should stop if she isn't ready. Ishihara leaves upset, certain Naoto thinks she is shameless.

Ishihara overhears this and they end up discussing their feelings honestly for once. Makina frets as she is close to being kicked from her running team and having to transfer schools.

Said brother, Naozumi, arrives at the inn. Satsuki admits she doesn't feel capable of running the inn successfully.
