Blue Spring and an Umbrella
Episode Description:
Kichijōji tasks the club to choose their piece for the competition, leading an excited Hana to pick Counting the Blue Spring as her choice. Natsue expresses her disdain on Hana's choice and urges her to read a different piece, but Hana remains determined on reading Counting the Blue Spring. As she wonders on Natsue's strict demeanor, Hana decides to catch up to Natsue after school, where Hana declares her determination and shares Natsue can read whatever she likes. Natsue becomes offended at Hana's statements, and remarks she has no intention on befriending the club, leaving Hana disheartened. Despite this, Hana asks Natsue what she should do to be acknowledged, and Natsue replies she should prove her worth to her. Hana recites an excerpt of Counting the Blue Spring clearly to Natsue after school, stunning the latter. Natsue then opens up to Hana on her reason in joining the club and begins acknowledging and befriending Hana, much to Hana's delight.
