Yūto and Haruka make progress on a scenario for an anime game. They present the completed game at Comiket. Nobunaga then shows up saying that three girls were looking for their stand. When Yūto and Nobunaga arrive with the three girls, Haruka freezes. The girls turn out to be her former "best friends" from when she was in middle school. They have come to apologize for turning their backs on Haruka when her secret was exposed back in middle school (even admitting that they like anime too); Haruka forgives them. As they talk things out, it is revealed that Setsugetsuka Tennouji, Haruka's archrival, influenced everyone to isolate Haruka. Later that night, after their game sells out thanks to Nobunaga's advertising, Mika calls Yūto and informs him that her sister is missing. Just as Yūto is about head over to assist in the search, Akiho calls Yūto that she knows where Haruka is and she is safe, but she is getting married the next day!
