Reiko and Kimito share a pleasant moment together in the classroom. Later both Reiko and Kimito are summoned to a meeting with Reiko's mother, Hoko, and brother, Masaomi, who it is revealed has a major sister complex and an immediate dislike of how close Kimito is to Reiko. Reiko's mother informs Reiko that she has arranged for her to marry the son of one of her business associates and she is to leave Seikan immediately to attend a meeting with her future husband. Kimito and the girls are devastated at the news but feel they cannot interfere. However, they find an ally in Reiko's brother, who for obvious reason also does not want Reiko to get married, and he arranges for them to be smuggled out of academy grounds in his car to stop the meeting.
