By volunteering after Maria for the festival committee, Runa hopes to kickstart Operation Befriend Maria.
She later calls him a dummy for hiding rather than trusting her to keep her distance.
Sports Day arrives, and Ryuuto gets to cheer Runa on, which leads to her victory.
He also ends up her item in the scavenger race, as she had to find someone she liked.
Akari, like Nicole, isso nice!
In any case, she invited her.
Now that Runa is with her, she runs off rather than join the cheer team.
Runa and Ryuuto split up to look for her, but Ryuuto ends up finding her on the roof.
Just liking him is enough for her; it has nothing to do with him.
Runa overhears most if not all of this, and walks away somberly.
