Episode Title:
A Transfer Student, Huh?
Episode Description:
Now in their second year Aharen and Raido are dating and are once again sat next to each other. Ishikawa, Sato and Oshiro are also in their class with Tobaru as homeroom teacher. Aharen struggles with fatigue and Raido wonders if maybe Aharen has been in hibernation preparing for a growth spurt, but it turns out she was just tired from waking up early. Aharen becomes cold so Raido keeps her warm inside his jacket, giving Tobaru her first fainting spell of the year. Gyaru student Riku transfers into their class, and Raido worries she might be planning to bully Aharen. However, Riku is revealed to be a socially insecure introvert, with pictures showing she knew Aharen in elementary school. Riku enthusiastically takes Aharen out to have fun, but worries she might have come on too strong, and is much quieter the next day. Aharen meanwhile fears she pushed Riku away by acting aloof. She explains to Riku she had a friend whom she got too close to too quickly and ended up ruining their friendship, so Riku reveals she was that friend. With the misunderstanding cleared up they become friends again. Oshiro also remembers Riku, except Riku has no idea who she is and has to remind herself by studying her old photos again. Riku is suspicious of Raido and treats him like a threat, until she realises he is Aharen's boyfriend and runs away having embarrassed herself again.
