Wataru decides to distance himself even more so Aika can make more friends. Shinomiya, president of Public Morals Committee, approaches Wataru to praise an interaction he recently had with committee member Inatomi in which he apologised for scaring her due to her phobia of men. She asks his advice on boosting the committee’s spirits as they are often disheartened. Wataru assures her any support she gives will suffice as being willing to offer support is more important than the support itself. Not wanting to attract trouble he falsely claims his name is Yamazaki, though this backfires when Shinomiya meets the real Yamazaki. Wataru apologises, explaining the thought of the Morality President knowing his name might cause him some trouble. Shinomiya forgives him when Inatomi is able to thank him for his apology and promise to overcome her phobia. Aika begins to spend time with other girls. Wataru’s sister Kaede coerces him into helping with her student council paperwork. Shinomiya successfully offers Inatomi her support. Aika invites her new friends to her house and tries to invite Wataru but loses her nerve when Shinomiya accidentally interrupts. After a frank discussion about Inatomi’s attempt to conquer her phobia Shinomiya realises Wataru might be an expert at reading people.
