A month after his arrival, Aki will do a three-legged race with Ayaka at an upcoming sports day. They practice, including teamwork exercises like bathing together, but being together so much makes Aki too exhausted for the race. Later, Ayaka impresses Aki and Sumire by removing a spider, and asks Aki to go shopping with her. He is unsure what to wear, so the girls make him wear a dress. Yuzu, impressed with Ayaka handling the spider, tells Aki to figure out Ayaka's weakness by watching her reactions to a horror movie, but the film scares Aki instead. Ayaka reveals she had concealed being scared for Aki's sake; she makes him sleep in her bed, saying she cannot fall asleep alone.
