## Summary

Makoto gives Haruo a copy of Tokimeki Memorial, which is a dating simulator game. Once Koharu learns this, she demands that her Playstation is returned. Upon arriving at Haruo's house, they're greeted by Makoto who wants him to play Tokimeki Memorial. Hearing that Haruo has to return the Playstation back to Koharu, Makoto ominously snaps. Inside Haruo's room, Haruo plays Tokimeki Memorial while, Koharu, Makoto, and his mother watch. He plays the game it's noted for his self-centered choices and in the end, none of the girls in the game fall for him. Later right before Koharu leaves, she allows Haruo to borrow her Playstation for a longer time.

Just as Makoto was going to leave, she confines to Haruo about how her sister Akira is under her tutor Moemi's thumb thanks to her rebellious nature. When asked if Haruo has an idea to help Akira in her slump with Moemi, he suggests the AOU event. This, however, is shot down due to it's an all-day event making it impossible for Akira to attend. It's then, Haruo has an epiphany and decides to create an RPG game for Akira to play. By nightfall, Haruo sees Makoto off as he vows to create a wonderful game fit for Akira.

Jotting down ideas for the RPG game at school, Kōtarō approaches Haruo and inquires what he's so engrossed in. Haruo hides his notes and claims it's nothing of any importance, while Genta appears and claims it could be a poem. Enthralled by the notion that it could be a poem, Kōtarō asks if that's the case, but Haruo denies it. Genta then snatches away Haruo's notes and reads an excerpt of it noting that it's a peculiar poem. Spending many a night developing the RPG, Haruo finally finishes the game. Akira plays the finished product in Jīya's room with Jīya and Makoto by her side. For a couple of days, Akira enjoys herself playing the RPG game that Haruo made, that is until Moemi finds out about it. Moemi disposes both the game and system as punishment for her disobedience.

Sometime later, Makoto confronts Moemi for her strictness and inconsideration toward Akira, Jīya also chimes in too, to give his notions as well. Afterward, Haruo continues his part-time job and Moemi pays him a visit. Her purpose being there was to reimburse the Famicom game system that Haruo owned to which she disposed of. When Moemi asks what Haruo thinks of Akira, he answers something that heavily insinuates that he has feelings for her.

On the day of the AOU show, Haruo heads to the even with his mother, but on the way runs into Akira. She approaches the two with the umbrella that Haruo's mother lent to Moemi, hence, she requested Akira to return it in her place. Not wanting to get in between the two, Haruo's mother lets the two attend the festival together. While at the AOU show event, they both try the various upcoming games and win various prizes from the crane game.

Afterward, the two enjoy dinner together at a local restaurant and take a train ride home. Once they're back in their town, Akira wants to spend more time with Haruo, to which, he tries to offer her staying at her home, but is struck by Jīya.
