This chapter starts with Rei and Kazusa at their club activity - Archery. It's the end of training and they are keeping the equipments.

The club members envy Rei's and Kazusa's relationship and they think they should be an item already if they aren't yet.

Rei: "Why am i the one losing again?"
Kazusa places his face close to Rei and calls her name. He then teases her saying that he's going to help out with keeping of the equipments. His actions startled Rei and she is flushed. She wants to hide the fact that she feels embarrassed but is having difficulty doing so.

 Rei blushes as she recalls Kazusa saying: "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?" and her thoughts "How? During that time, I felt i was going to die from happiness. Why didn't i tell him?"

Kazua: "Rei."
Rei turns around and Kazusa plants a kiss on Rei's cheek leaving her to blush even more and he said: "Seems like i have plenty of chances....

Seems like i'm the winner for this too."
Rei's thoughts "What should i do? Whatever he's doing to me, i feel happy and i accept it naturally. I think i've really fall in love with Kazusa....

... even though so, i'm not telling him."
Rei asks Banri for advice on how to confess to Kazusa.
Banri: "Huh? What is this? 'I like you! I like you too!' that's all." isn't this good enough or do you have anything better? I have a date with Yukari." and Banri is leaving but Rei pulls him back.
Rei: "Wait a minute. Even though i think i've might have been exposed and Kazusa already knows about my feeling but the timing, i don't know when is good." 

Banri teases her telling her to wear a white lace bra and wait inside Kazusa's bed. Banri: "It is clear that he is going to accept you thus you shouldn't think so much and just fly into his arms. If you understand, don't make him wait any longer."
Rei's thoughts "I undersand. This time....

... this time i will say it myself."
Banri: "Good luck and  you can ask him out tonight for the tenth night festival."

Banri see Kazusa as he comes down from the rooftop. Banri: "Yo, if you are lookin for Rei, she's on the roof top. Do you know?"
Kazusa: "Yup, i know."
Banri: "She's troubled. Don't tell me you did it on purpose?"
Kazusa: "Yup."
Banri: "Don't over do it."

Kazusa: "My intention is to allow Rei to give some serious thoughts about me. I have no intention of making her troubled. Good things are worth the wait." Kazusa received a text from Rei asking him to the tenth night festival after club activity. Kazusa smiles to himself as he reads the text. While Rei still at the roof top thinks: "I need to let him know... Kazusa....

... there's something i need to tell you. Listen to me?" 

Kazusa: "You'll get separated." and he held Rei's hand.
Kazusa: "It's crowded. This is the first time for us coming to this festival. It has always been the three of us." and all these while Rei's been thinking "How should i start? How should i tell him?" 

Kazusa: "This might be the last night, i'll be leaving this place after graduating from high school."
Rei: "Oh yah, for your study, you need to go to other temple. It's ascetic practices. Since a long time ago, you said that you will be taking over your family's temple."
Kazusa: "Rei too isn't it? You are planning to major in management to help out your family's restaurant right?"
Kazusa met someone he knows, he let goes of Rei's hand to make small conversation with them. Looking at Kazusa, Rei's thoughts "Since a long time ago, we've been talking about our future and i knew it all along but...

... I can't imagine without Kazusa who has been staying by my side so naturally. There will be a distant between us and we can hold hands as and when we want to. I'm feeling lost."
Kazusa: "Rei? Wat heppened?" while Rei seems to be deep in her thoughts.
Rei's thoughts "If i don't tell him now, we can't move forward."

and she hugs Kazusa and said: "Thank You. Thank you for staying by my side." and her thoughts "I want to tell you for. I want to respond more but i'm sorry, i can only think of these. Words aren't enough, how should i let you know? Kazusa."

Rei: "Kazusa, i like you." and she kisses him.
Kazusa, with the brightest smile up until now: "I know...

 ... and i was waiting." and he hugs Rei tightly in his arms.
Rei: "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I've made you wait so this time round, i'm going to wait for you." Rei's thoughts "He made such a smile..."

Rei: "Even thought we need to be separated, you need to return to where i am. "
Kazusa: "I understand." and he leans forward wanting to kiss Rei but Rei stopped him.
Kazusa: "Are you planning to make me wait? I've thought about it, for such kind of thing (kiss), isn't it alright for you to give it to me?" Kazusa give a sly grin while Rei blushes and 

 kisses him. *sweet*

Rei: "It's true that i can't win Kazusa."
Kazusa: "That's of course."
Rei's thoughts "I've conveyed my thoughts to him properly. Thank you for liking me."
Kazusa teases Rei: "Oh, this is bad, Rei is making such a cute face when i threaten you to kiss me. Can i threaten you one more time?"
Rei: "Kazusa...." continue to blush.

Omg~ this chappie is candy sweet overflowing! hahah. You must be wondering what's going to happen to their future since Kazusa and Rei are going to be seperated right? I guess nothing much is going happen because the next chapter is going to be the last chapter! Yes, no kidding here. You see the tiny words at the end of the chapter, it says "What's going to happen to their future? Next issue, a climax final chapter!" I mean there isn't going to be much twist in the last chapter. Probably it will be about Kazusa pursing his dreams and finally returns to Rei, takes over the family temple, marrys Rei at the temple, have kids and live happily ever after.

I'm feeling a tab sad. I thought there's more to this manga then deciding between two childhood friend. I thought Yukari is going to come up with some stunts or something and Banri can't suppress his feelings for Rei when Kazusa is away and Rei... maybe she will be faithful towards Kazusa or she's struggling between Kazusa and Banri again or stuff like that. So nothing that i've been hoping and imagining is going to happen and Banri, he's fine with Yukari? When the one he truly likes is Rei. Well, it does seems like he's fine with Yukari. argh~ why is this series ending so soon...
