Summary
It is remembered how Ushio introduced herself to her class. She is very popular on account of her looks and with the attention to her, Sumika simply leaves with it getting kind of loud again. Ushio hears how Sumika is somewhat unapproachable and does karate.

In town with other girls who want to discuss guys, Ushio has gotten lost. A group of boys have found her and are asking questions such as whether Ushio is by herself and how old is she. Yet another more well built man makes an entrance to defend Ushio from their prying. With violence breaking out, one of the boys tries to impress Ushio since he knows karate, before he is physically knocked off his feet by Sumika.

Recognizing who she is and happy to see her, Ushio thanks Sumika for saving her. It is not safe for Ushio to be walking around by herself so Sumika takes her hand and walks her back to the station.

Finding her friends again she agrees they should resume their flirting plans, although for Ushio it is for girls.

Having said that, Ushio finds her friends eating together whilst she sits alone in class, yet Sumika helps herself to Ushio's desk to eat lunch with her.

Sumika awakens from her dream and thinks Ushio never came to see her after all. As she cries under the impression Ushio would not want to after she shouted at her, she finds Ushio has brought her some porridge.
