When Shizuku asks Haru's friends to be honest with him if they are his true friends,and they say they just use him, Shizuku ends up defending Haru. He then confesses of loving her. Shizuku is seen worried about her studies but eventually gets first in the class. In the end Haru casually kisses Shizuku, leaving her red faced.

Still on the rooftop Shizuku comes to her senses and says that she didn't really have feelings for Haru, who claims that he is happy with just that. Haru, Asako and Sasayan get permission from the school to keep the rooster in school after Sasayan's pet cat makes it impossible for him to take care of the rooster at home. The three of them including Shizuku decide to build a chicken coop with help from Haru's punk friends. Afterwards Haru and Shizuku walk home together. Haru expresses that only good things have happened to him ever since he met Shizuku. Shizuku being unable to contain her emotions confesses that she has really fallen in love with him, to which Haru counters that his love for her may be different. Haru receives a text from Mitsuyoshi that Yuzan is coming to see him to which he asks Shizuku to spend the night at her home.

Shizuku explains to Haru that he should stop constantly glaring at people, which is the reason others are constantly afraid of and avoid him so he changes his personality by smiling and even offering help to people. The girls at school realize that he isn't a bad person and become infatuated with him to the point where he becomes popular, making Shizuku jealous. Haru's popularity is short lived when he beats up an upperclassman after he picked on a timid looking girl from Class A, Oshima. Later on he begins to doubt whether he is doing the right thing to which Shizuku says that people will eventually see him as a kind person. Following the start of summer, the group goes for a trip in the mountains and upon returning they meet Haru's brother Yuzan. Shizuku realizes she has a lot to learn about Haru. Haru wonders if there is anything he can do for Shizuku since she is always there to save him, to which she says he can repay her with a date.
