Shiori meets with mixed results when she tries to get additional assistant work with local manga artists. In an effort to encourage her, Ichiro takes a leaf from her book and decides to put his thoughts down on paper.

The fated day arrives, the day when Ichiro and Shiori will annul their Engagement Pact. But there's a risk their feelings for each other will vanish in the process, and there's no way to be sure without performing the ceremony.

With the pact no longer hanging over them, Shiori and Ichiro are free to live and love on their own terms. But that doesn't necessarily mean there are no complications left to address.
