## Arc Summary

Takezo is sponsoring the Chocolate Rabbit Guild's BBQ Party in December. Akane arrived on time and was greeted by Takezo and Runa, who were already at the restaurant they planned to eat at. While waiting for Yamada, Takezo mentioned that the restaurant is owned by a friend of his and he brought the whole guild instead of being alone. The restaurant appears to be expensive, leading Runa and Akane to question Takezo's connection. Four important people approached Takezo and addressed him as Mr. President, which piqued Akane and Runa's interest in him even further.

While the guild was busy chit-chatting, four staff members approached them with trays full of meat, expensive food, and drinks as a gift for Takezo. Eita commended Takezo for being a big-time adult, but Takezo responded with amusement saying he can enjoy playing the game in a healthy environment thanks to Eita creating an amazing guild full of amazing people. He stated that he would like to play the game with them indefinitely.

Yamada was late for the occasion and instead of relaxing and enjoying a meal, he was approached by an intoxicated Akane who had been drinking expensive drinks given by Takezo's friends. Runa was whining about Akane being clingy earlier that she had to leave her on the bathroom floor for some time. Takezo invited Yamada to eat while he called a taxi for Akane but Eita recommended that Yamada should safely transport her home instead of calling a taxi.

Yamada goes to buy water and returns to find Akane heavily intoxicated and resting. He wakes her up by placing the water bottle on her cheeks, and she starts talking aloud. Yamada helps her get her phone so she won't forget his help, but advises her to lower her voice. He holds Akane's wrist as they walk home, preventing her from falling. When her heel gets stuck, Yamada kneels down to recover it. They continue walking hand in hand until they reach Akane's apartment.

As Yamada is about to leave, Akane asks him if he likes her because of how he held her hand. Yamada admits his feelings for Akane and promises to tell her again if she forgets due to intoxication. Akane asks if she can call him for affirmation in the morning, and Yamada insists on calling her instead. They hug each other before parting ways.

Yamada wakes up in the morning and calls Akane, who is unable to sleep due to their relationship. After class, Akane, Momo, and Maki discuss her relationship with Yamada at a nearby café. Maki shares her failed relationship with someone younger than her, which makes Akane concerned. However, Momo believes that they will eventually be together based on Yamada's actions towards Akane.

Yamada is approached by a talent recruiter but brushes it off to meet Akane outside. They go to a café where Akane reminds Yamada to focus on his studies as he is graduating soon. However, Yamada compliments her canine teeth instead of listening. While walking, Yamada speculates about what Akane didn't get to say at the coffee shop and agrees to hold hands with her when she expresses her desire for it.
