Chiwa, his childhood friend since elementary school, will not let this go without a fight.

Chiwa confronts Eita about his new girlfriend, Masuzu. Chiwa tells Eita that she will be popular in no time and get a boyfriend. Masuzu makes a school club to help Chiwa become popular and ends up embarrassing Chiwa in front of other students. Masuzu tells Eita that she wants him to not look at other girls.

The new plan to make Chiwa popular is to expand on her past life, but how long can she keep up the ruse?

Eita gets up early to spy on Chiwa's first date with Sakagami. Masuzu has the same idea but she is there to watch something else unfold.

Eita keeps finding new love letters in his shoebox, but before he can deal with them a new girl, Himeka Akishino, shows up and hugs him in front of Masuzu and Chiwa

Eita and the others are forced to clean the pool after being caught by the hall monitors. Mana shows up once again and so does a red-haired hall monitor named Ai.

The club is shut down by Ai. Eita attends summer classes, along with Ai and her childhood friend, Kaoru. Masuzu orders Eita to confirm that the boyfriend Ai talked about is fake.

In order to expose Ai's weaknesses, Eita and Chiwa join Kaoru and Ai in a movie double date. Chiwa and Ai end up arguing with each other as they supported opposing love rivals in the movie they watched.

Eita reads Ai's delusional notes by accident. As an apology, Eita accompanies Ai to the local festival. Ai reveals herself to be Eita's childhood friend from kindergarten and that, according to their childhood promise, they are also engaged to each other.

On their way home, they meet Eita's aunt, Saeko, who realizes that Masuzu and Eita's relationship is fake, and questions Eita about which girl he likes the most.

Saeko offers the girls a chance to save money on the trip by entering a marketing contest for her new game, and intentionally excludes Masuzu. She also explains why she thinks Eita and Masuzu's relationship is fake. As everyone prepares for the trip to the beach, Eita realizes that Ai, Hime and Chiwa have become good friends while Masuzu has been left out. Both Masuzu and Eita are also rattled by Saeko-san.
