## Synopsis

One day a new girl shows up and incidentally insults Aiko and Ren along the way. Deciding to get to know her, Aiko follows her and learns that she is a good person underneath her rough exterior. To return her kindness, she attempts to help her at Cooking Festival**.**

## Summary

Aiko and Ren are on their way to school while discussing the previous days events. While Ren had a lot of fun, Aiko is still mourning a piece of cake she hadn't gotten to eat. Ren tries to cover a laugh when suddenly someone runs by while teasing that she can see their icon. The girls freak out until the girl calls Aiko "*stupid*", and explains that she couldn't hear her since Aiko does not speak. She takes off as Ren notes never seeing her before. Shijimi goes on to introduce a new student to class, and to their surprise it's the girl they ran into earlier. She introduces herself as Mio Nanairogaoka, but from the way Aiko responds, Shijimi assumes they know each other and has Mio sit behind Aiko.

As class continues, Mio chats with Ren and Aiko. She incidentally upsets Ren after admitting she was unable to remember her, and didn't think she was impressive or very noticeable. When Shijimi overhears them she tosses her chalk at the girls to silence them, but to the surprise of everyone, Aiko catches it with ease and manages to impress them; even Shijimi. Throughout the day Aiko grows more annoyed, while Ren shows concern over Mio's reserved personality.

Before the audition, Aiko and Ren are still having trouble getting along with Mio, and Ren expresses more concern since Mio doesn't seem to consider the feelings of others. Annoyed by this Aiko summons her wings to follow after Mio. Aiko resumes flying until she gets distracted and asks Ren to accompany Mio performing first song "Niji no Uta" (Song of a Rainbow).

After Mio's performance for Cooking Festival, Aiko hurriedly attempts to shut Mio and Ren up. She pleads with them not to say anything as the three become friends.
