Sugiyama says that it has a really good SPF and Akko says that a good SPF is essential and that spring is when UV rays are at their strongest. Mari looks at the chap stick given to her by Akko and thinks of it as an indirect kiss but that they had already kissed for real. She then continues and says that at that time Akko was asleep and that was the only reason she was able to kiss her, Kuno then returns and tells Sugiyama that she has a gift for her and tells her that it was because thanks to her she was able to meet Ouji and that the gift was a thanks for that.

She then says that their is a guy she wants to introduce Akko to and that he has a great personality and asks Akko if she can give him her E-mail address when she next sees him which surprises Akko and she says that it came out of nowhere. Sugiyama laughs and then informs her that she had already given it to him which causes Akko to ask her what she did and she explains that he really liked the cell phone photo her she had showed him, Sugiyama then continues and says the next mixer should be one where they all go together and that she will get Tamamin to go too she then asks Mari what kind of guys does she like which makes Akko notice that she also doesn`t know and asks Mari what kind she likes Mari does not answer.
