Yūto is unsure of how to respond to Shiina's confession, while Haruka is confused about her own feelings for Yūto. When Mika, Hazuki, and Nanami learn of her plight, Hazuki tells Haruka that they cannot help this time because Haruka must determine how she feels about Yūto on her own. Haruka tries to speak with Yūto, but is unable to do so and is left in tears when Shiina pulls him away. After spending the day with Shiina, Yūto comes to realize the depth of his feelings for Haruka, and parts ways with Shiina to look for Haruka. When he finds her, he confesses his love for her and Haruka reciprocates. They officially become a couple, while agreeing to keep their new relationship secret between themselves. After returning home, Haruka asks Yūto if they can form a doujinshi circle for the upcoming Summer Comiket, and he agrees to it.
