This chapter starts with Kazusa and Banri working partime as rickshaw pullers.
Due to Kazusa and Banri's good looks, tourist can't stop taking photos of them and wonder if they are idols.
Seeing Banri and Rei bickering, Yukari: "It's great!"
Rei: "Huh?"
Yukari: "Many things happened over the summer vacation isn't it? Things seems to be ok now."
Rei: "Um."
Rei's thoughts "Summer is over....
... 2 more months and it will be Fall."
Rei: "I'm sorry to have made you worried. Thank You Yukari."
Banri: "Yukari, come her for a moment."
Banri carries Yukari on to the rickshaw. Rei saw them and thinks "The atmosphere is good when they are togther."
Kazusa: "The both of them look good togther."
Rei: "Um."
Kazusa pats Rei's head and Rei says: "I'm fine already. Even i'm shocked myself. It's kinda of unbelievable."
Rei's thoughts "They look so blissful when they are smiling together."
Rei: "When love begins, it's not something which i can control however, to let it good is. Thanks to everyone, we are able to face each other."
Rei's thoughts "Time passes at it's usual speed but something within me is changing little by little. The be able to come to agreement with my own feelings, i've might have grown up. Thanks to the smiling faces of people who are important to me."
Kazusa: "What do you wish for after working so hard? Isn't it great to have changed for the better?"
Rei: "Thank you for your hard work."
Banri: "We (Banri & Yukari) are going to grab a bite." and they left leaving Kazusa and Rei behind.
Rei: "Aren't they great? They are still so close even though we are in the mist of exam period."
Kazusa: "Are you going home straight away to study?"
Rei: "Um, though i feel kind of regrettable about it."
Kazusa: "Then... shall we go on a date?"
Kazsa brings Rei to ride the rickshaw.
Rei: "Ride this?"
Kazusa: "It's will be a great chance to have a chat."
The rickshaw puller took out a stool to assists Rei in boarding the rickshaw however, Kazusa told him that it's not necessary and he carries Rei on to it! Rei is shock and she attempts to push Kauza away but Kazusa assures her that it's alright. Rei blushes real hard and she thinks "I'm not as small as Yukari. Even though i've thought about going on diet recently but to be that light...."
Rei gets excited when she realized that the rickshaw can actually go at a pretty fast speed. Rei: "Woah! At this kind of speed?! The feeling is great!" Rei realize Kazusa looking at her and she asked: "Why?"
Kazusa: "Nope, it's nothing. Just that I've not seen Rei smiled like this the whole summer. That's why i think it's great."
Rei: "Actually, it's all thanks to Kazusa, always by my side regardless of how i am. I felt secured."
Kazusa grabs Rei's hand: "That's of course!"
Rei's thoughts "This is how Kazusa usually smile however, i feel like i'm meeting this person for the first time and i want to see him. Is it because we are doing something different from the usual now? ...
... our hands held so strongly that it makes my head feels dizzy."
Kazusa: "Shall we walk along the sea on our way back?"
Rei: "Um."
Yukari: "Banri - kun? What happened?"
Banri: "I'm sorry, i've just seen Rei and Kazusa. (on the rickshaw) Both of them are smiling."
Yukari: "This is your character....
... and that is why i wish to stay by your side."
Kazusa lets go of Rei's hand and Rei's thoughs "I wish to continue to hold hands. How do you think of me? ..
... how does Kazusa thinks?" and he holds Rei's hand again.
Rei's thoughts "My childhood friend. I wish to see the Kazusa which i don't know. More of him. How does Kazsa thinks of me?"
Kazusa: "The same time at this place...
... do you remember? You let me die miserably here."
Rei's thoughts "I've hurt Kazusa (here)."
Kazusa pull Rei close to her and kissed her! He kissed her so hard and so long and so passionately!
... that Rei gets out of breathe that she hit's Kazusa signaling him to stop.
Rei: "What is this?"
Kazusa pinches Rei's cheecks: "That is because you seems to be bothered over useless things (she rejected him). I'm different from you. I will not give up just because i'm rejected once."
Rei: "Eh?"
Kazusa: "There is no reason for me to give up on Rei and that is why from now onwards, I will not be merciful. Do you understand what i'm saying?"
