While Sōta remains stressed over the other day's events, Izumi, assuming he had broken up with Popura, tries to set Sōta and Mahiru up with each other, unaware of the actual circumstances between them.

As Popura becomes more aware of the relationships blooming around her, she and Aoi question Otoo about the restaurant's stance on romantic relationships. Later, Minegishi comes to the restaurant to tell Sōta something and gets punched by Mahiru, leading her to feel she hasn't gotten over her androphobia, but Sōta manages to calm her down.
