The cover.
Miu, Gutsu-chan and Nanase-chan were sharing about their future path over lunch. Gutsu-chan wants to become a childcare teacher while Nanasae plan to work in her father's company.
They both too have decided on which university to go to in order to fulfill their dreams but for Miu, she is still clueless about her future. Senrizawa-kun appeares just in time saving Miu from Nanase's question about Miu's future. Senrizawa-kun came to return Miu's notebook (which Miu lent him).
He thanked Miu for her neatly written notebook which is of great help to him by giving her sweets. Nanasae saw them and warned Miu to be careful of Senrizawa-ku. Telling Miu that Senrizawa-kun is not a good person and he made several girls from her class cried.
Miu defended Senrizawa-kun saying that he's a good person and those rumors weren't true. Nanasae teased Miu saying that Mui defended Senrizawa-kun because she received sweets from him and if she was kidnapped when she was a kid. Miu is pissed and rushed off to the toilet.
Miu is worried about Senrizawa-kun, wondering if he's alright as he's a new transferred student and there is such a rumour about him.
Walking along the corridor, Senrizawa-kun saw Keita and friends playing DS and wonders why he is the most popular guy in school. He walks towards Keita and said: "Can you give me the map too?" (Gutsu-chan's bf asked Keita to send him a map for gaming purpose and Senrizawa-kun heard.)
Keita: "Sure.. but who are you?"
Senrizawa: "Oh, i'm not a kid, i don't own a DS."
Keita goes =.="
Senrizawa lean close towards Keita and whispers into his ears: "Can i take other things from you? Like your girlfriend who has beautiful penmanship?" and he walks away think that there is no need to be too concern over Keita as he seems easily defeat-able.
Gutsu-chan's boyfriend: "He's Senrizawa-kun, the new transferred student from Class 7. He came to looked for Miu awhile ago. Do you know him?"
Keita: "Nope, but i guess i know why."
The scene changes to Senrizawa-kun bringing a girl home and he saw a note from his mother on the table telling him to buy himself dinner with 10kyen.
The girl opens the fridge to get a drink and is surprise to see a pack of cute looking sweets inside and she asked: "Can i take some of these sweets? I'm surprised you like such cute looking sweets."
Senrizawa: "No i don't, they are just props."
The scene changes to Miu choosing eggplant at the supermarket and thinking what dishes should she cook using eggplant.
Miu recalls asking Gutsu-chan to go to the supermarket together after school and there's something she wanted to talk to Gutsu-chan about. However, Gutsu-chan needs to head to cram school instead. Miu recalls Nanasae asking her about her future and she wonders what does she wants to be in future.
Miu's thoughts "I want to stay like now when we chat about anything under the sun during lunch and go home together after school or maybe drop by some where....
... am i childish to think this way? Everyone is moving forward except me. I'm left behind and i dislike this feeling but i don't wish to move away from here. I want to stay like now."
Gutsu-chan meet up with her boyfriend after cram school. She is concerned about Miu and is about to call Miu when her boyfriend stop her thinking that she might disturb Miu who might be studying.
Miu, at home. She is studying but her thoughts are everywhere. She wonders if everyone else is studying now too and she starts to feel insecure and wonders who is there to listen to her.
She heard a noise from her balcony and is glad to see Keita when she heads out.
Miu: "Keita, are you out here for some fresh air?"
Keita: "Yup, my eyes are feeling a little tired."
Miu: "You've been studying?"
Keita: "Nope, DQ (A game)."
Miu's thoughts "What does Keita want to become? I've never asked him before. He must have decided on a university already."
Keita: "Why? You don't look too well."
Miu wants to tell Keita about how she's feeling now but she recalls how Keita told her to make her own decisions about her own future she gives up and said: "I'm just feeling a little hungry as i did not have much over dinner."
Keit grabs her face and said: "That's a lie. You make this smile why you are telling a lie. Tell me the truth. Is it about Senrizawa-kun? Did he do anything strange towards you I think he is a bad person so be careful of him...
... you are easily deceived, keep your eyes open. Tell me if anything happens."
Miu: "I'm clear of what i'm doing. You heard this from Nanasae? and you believe everything? Senrizawa-kun ia not such a person like she'd told you." and she ran off wondering if there is anyone around who can listen to her.
and she saw Senrizawa-kun.
