==Short Summary==
"The Case of Ritsu Onodera No.38" opens with Kurusu confessing her feelings to Masamune Takano, while Ritsu Onodera listens from nearby. During this, Emerald's deadline is getting closer, but some manuscripts haven't been turned in quite yet. The following day, as Ritsu takes a phone call regarding the magazine deadline with the printers, Kurusu comes into the Emerald department, approaching Takano. Ritsu becomes very distracted by the exchange, and is surprised to hear that Takano ends up leaving work with her for the day.
The next day, it's a day off, but Takano still shows up at Ritsu's apartment very early to take him along to Erika Ichinose's house to help, as she's been having difficulties finishing her manuscript. They're able to finish in time for the extended deadline that Ritsu was able to negotiate the day prior, and head back home. As they go to leave the train station, they realize that it's started to rain, and go to share an umbrella, but Takano receives a phone call and has to step away. Ritsu overhears Takano say Kurusu's name and panics, thinking that he's too late in confessing his own feelings and that Takano must have accepted Kurusu's confession. He runs away, and Takano chases after him. When asked what was going on with him, Ritsu yells at him that he loves Takano more (in reference to Kurusu), and that the one who loves Takano more than anyone else in the world is him.
Takano deduces that Ritsu's recent awkwardness stemmed from Kurusu's recent actions, and confirms to Ritsu that he rejected her confession. The reason he left work with her was because she insisted on having at least one meal together. She cried when he doubled down on that being the only time they'd be meeting like that, and the call at the train station was her apologizing for her actions. Moving on from that, Takano happily accepts Ritsu's confession, and the two go up to Takano's apartment and have sex. They confirm their love for each other multiple times, and the chapter comes to a close as the clock passes midnight.
