While visiting Amane's parents, Mahiru learns about Amane's youth and Amane runs into a figure from his past.
While Amane realized that Mahiru had feelings for him, his past experiences left him without the confidence to move forward with her. On school sports day, the two end up participating in the scavenger race event together. When Mahiru finds out the item she has to search for, she grabs Amane's hand and heads for the goal, surprising Amane. Then, in front of their stunned classmates, Mahiru courageously announces that Amane is dear to her. In that moment, Amane makes up his mind to confess his feelings.
The day before spring break, Itsuki has a fight with his father and asks Amane to let him stay over. When Chitose finds out that her boyfriend will get to enjoy Mahiru's cooking, she demands to join them and stay at Mahiru's apartment. The four friends spend the next few lively days together. After Itsuki and Chitose leave, Amane returns home one day to find Mahiru confronted by her mother, Sayo. Noticing Mahiru's dark expression and sensing that something is wrong, Amane invites Mahiru in. The two sit together on Amane's sofa as Mahiru timidly explains her complicated history with her parents.
Mahiru and Amane draw considerable attention in their maid and butler outfits at the school festival cafe.
