It's time for the Christmas party, an annual tradition at Hiiragi Apartments. Shiori continues to grow closer to Ichiro, but she also spends time with some of the other friends she's made since her arrival.

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.
