Episode Title:
Applying to be an Amica.
Episode Description:
Akari's tomboyish friend, Raika Hino, joins Akari and Shino in training under Aria, unaware that she is being stalked by a girl named Kirin Shima. Later, Akari becomes irritated when she sees Aria together with Kinji, becoming angered when he views Aria as more of an annoyance. After being told by Aria to be more conscious about her surroundings, Akari spots Kirin requesting to become Raika's Amica, before learning that Raika has been taking insults about her boyish behavior to heart. Later that day, Akari and Kirin follow Raika to a cosplay shop, where she indulges in her love of cute things that she can't show anyone else. Blackmailing Raika over her secret, Kirin challenges Raika to an Amica Chance match, taking advantage of her own cuteness skills to win, though it is later revealed that Raika lost on purpose as she wasn't against the idea of having an Amica. Meanwhile, Akari becomes curious as to why Riko seems to know her, while Aria continues to look deeper into Akari's background.
