Curtain Call

The play is over and the cast take a bow in front of an applauding audience. Kirino's classmates congratulate her on a job well done.

The classmates who were in charge of dimming the lights for the kiss scene apologize for their mishap and thank Sakurai for his decisiveness in ad libbing. Sakurai approaches Kirino to apologize for what he did for the kiss scene, but Kirino thanks him for saving their play.

Girls from the audience tell Sakurai that the kiss scene was amazing. Sakurai goes, "That's great, but...".

Kametani's Behavior

Kirino goes around looking for Kametani. She spots him near some stairs and calls out to him, but he's busy helping a female classmate lift the props.

Kirino notices with surprise that Kametani isn't blushing despite his interaction with a girl. She wonders at the possibility that he has been cured, and whether she is still able to remain by his side. However, she doesn't want to have to leave his side.

Lips

When Kametani puts down the props in class, Kirino calls out to him again. When Kametani realizes that it's her, he turns his head away, asking, "...What?".

Kirino thinks to herself that she's bothered by how Kametani wasn't blushing earlier, but she doesn't know how to bring it up. As she begins to say something, Kametani suddenly places his thumb gently on Kirino's lips.

Kametani then gently rubs his thumb over her lips in a wiping manner, confusing Kirino. She asks him what he is doing, and he blushes, saying, "Nothing. It was dirty."

Kirino notices that he is blushing, and points out to Kametani that he wasn't blushing earlier, even though he was interacting with a girl. "I thought you were cured..."

Shyly turning his head away, Kametani answers that he isn't that easily cured. Kirino is delighted to hear that.

Kirino happily thanks Kametani for helping her with her last-minute rehearsals and for helping to make their play a success. She flashes him a bright smile, but Kametani turns away and tells her to quickly get changed.

Kirino feels a little hurt at how cold Kametani is being and runs off to change her clothes. Meanwhile, left alone in the classroom, Kametani blushes and scratches his head, wondering to himself why Kirino seemed so unbothered.

School Trip

Their teacher announces that they need to form groups for the upcoming school trip. Sakurai is immediately approached by girls in their class asking him to join their group. Kirino and Tera watch from aside and comment on how popular Sakurai is.

However, Sakurai tells the girls that he is grouping with Kirino. The other girls wonder out loud: "Eh, why Kirino-san?" "Oh- because they were Snow White and the prince?" "I guess it's fine if it's Kirino-san..."

Sakurai apologizes with a whisper to Kirino for forcing the grouping arrangement on her. He explains that he has something he wants to do in Kyoto, but doesn't want the others to know about it.

When Kirino checks with Tera to confirm that she's fine with the arrangement, Kametani suddenly gets into the seat in front of Kirino. He firmly states, "I'm also grouping with Kirino.", while staring darkly at Sakurai.

Kametani asks Kirino, "Right?", and Kirino answers, "Eh? Ah, yes!!". She then thinks to herself that even though she thought Kametani was avoiding her for the past 2-3 days, it doesn't seem to be the case.

Secret Plans

Kirino, Kametani, Tera and Sakurai conclude their plans for the school trip. Kirino asks if any of them still have any thoughts.

Sakurai begins, "Actually...", then whispers some things in Kirino's ear. Kirino's eyes immediately light up, going, "Holy pilgrimage?!" while Sakurai tries to shush her.

Kirino grabs Sakurai's hand determinedly. They whisper to each other excitedly, "...It's from that anime..." "The final scene, right?" "Wanna go?" "...There's time before dinner, so..." "Should the two of us ditch?"

Kametani watches their exchange silently. However, Kirino notices something happening underneath their desks.

Kametani is rubbing his foot against Kirino's shin to get her attention. She blushes while staring at Kametani, who looks back at her nonchalantly.

Sakurai is still talking, but Kirino is no longer paying attention to him. Thinking to herself that Kametani is being strange, Kirino blushes and gets out of her chair, telling the others that she's going to the restroom. Kametani follows after her, and Sakurai gives a knowing smile.

Cornered

Along the corridors, Kirino wonders to herself what just happened. Her heart is beating very quickly. However, she is immediately approached by Kametani, who backs her into the wall.

Kirino: Wh-why are you here?
Kametani: I'm going to the restroom, too.
Kirino: Ka-Kametani-kun, you're being too close... (my heart can't handle it...)

Kirino has collapsed to the ground with Kametani still hovering over her.

Blushing, Kametani asks Kirino if she's planning to go around with Sakurai during the school trip. Kirino is shocked and asks if he heard their conversation. Kametani asks her what they are up to, but Kirino thinks to herself that she can't expose the fact that Sakurai is also an otaku.

She blurts out, "It's because we became closer after the performance!"

Jealous

Kametani asks, "...Became closer...?" and Kirino nervously answers, "Uh...um...yes."

Blushing, Kametani asks, "...Even closer than me?"

Kirino is confused, while Kametani continues, "...Your hand. You also just let him touch it so easily. You... kissed him, didn't you?"

Kametani takes Kirino's hand and gently nibbles her finger. Kirino is overwhelmed. However, she manages to answer, "Ah, that... at that time, it wasn't a real kiss, you know...?"

She explains that Sakurai had pressed his thumb to her lips and kissed his own thumb. Kirino then wonders to herself if Kametani's strange behavior recently was due to jealousy.

Blushing furiously, Kirino asks Kametani if he's feeling jealous. Kametani is stunned and blushes furiously in response.

He leans his head onto Kirino's shoulder shyly, then turns his head to look at her. Taking her hand in his, he then brings her hand to his lips, asking, "Can't I?"

Kirino stares at Kametani and thinks to herself, '...I don't know this Kametani-kun......!!"
