## Summary

### Tomo's Skirt

Tomo and Jun take the train home, where they briefly sit together, but Tomo becomes too flustered by sitting next to Jun. Standing up, Tomo notes how Jun still doesn't treat her like a girl. Soon, someone starts to grope Tomo, but she doesn't want to cause a scene with Jun. He, however, noticed the groper and then confronted and later led the person to the police. As they walk home together, Tomo believes that Jun is now properly treating her like a girl, until he suggests she stop wearing skirts.

The following day, Tomo informed Misuzu about the groping situation and Jun's rude comment about her skirt. A flashback is shown where Jun confesses his uneasiness with Tomo wearing a skirt, causing her to ko him. In Misuzu's opinion, Jun's comment was to help her avoid getting groped again, which she backtracked after Tomo questioned if it was true. Misuzu then notes that Tomo's skirt is too short. Although Tomo argues that she likes it that way as it's easier to move around. So to prove her point, Misuzu suggests that Tomo take off her shorts. Initially, Tomo is against it, but Misuzu convinces her to do it and later informs Jun that Tomo wants to walk home with her.

Later, Jun met with Tomo, who earnestly tried to keep her skirt down. As they walk to the train, Tomo tries to start a conversation with Jun, who blatantly ignores her. On the train, Jun has visions that the passengers are pervertedly looking at Jun. While walking by the riverway, Tomo confronts Jun over his reluctance to acknowledge her, and during it, a gust of wind blows that reveals her panties to Jun, causing him to faint. Jun would later have a heart-to-heart about how he feels about Tomo's skirt.

The next day during gym, Tomo informs Misuzu about her encounter with Jun the other day. Misuzu would later goad Jun into meeting with Tomo and would watch their interaction from afar.

### The School Idol

Tomo asks Misuzu about the school idol Carol about what makes her so popular. In Misuzu's opinion, Carol's popularity isn't solely based on her appearance, but also her personality, which naturally draws the opposite sex to her making them "defenseless".

Later, Tomo contemplates Misuzu's opinion; she runs into Kousuke and Carol. It's revealed that Carol is not only related to Kousuke, but they're also engaged. Carol also thought that Tomo was a guy, but once it was clarified that Tomo was a girl, Carol suspected that Tomo had feelings for Kousuke. Carol then followed Tomo around and called her a "dummy". Misuzu asked Tomo if Kousuke was around when she first encountered Kousuke, and she answered he was, but she still had no clue as to why Carol was so mean to her. This prompts Misuzu to call her a dummy too.

Afterward, Carol approaches Misuzu, who asks for advice on how to "defeat" Tomo. Misuzu instead relays her to Jun, who she confronts in the boy's locker room. Later, Carol asks Jun to help her defeat someone, and Jun agrees to help "pump her up" within a month to make her become stronger.

Jun and Carol's interactions with each other leaves Tomo astonished and emotionally overwhelmed, which she takes out on Misuzu. Meanwhile, Jun begins training Carol, starting with jogging, but she can only go a short distance. Elsewhere, Tomo participates in her karate club activities. Back to Carol and Jun, who have her try weight lifting in the gymnasium, but she can't do any of them, but Carol notes that she can do jump rope, so Jun has her do some. Soon Tomo arrives and sees Carol and Jun in an awkward position. Tomo then accosts Jun over it, and after seeing their interaction together, Carol proclaims she lost and quits her training with Jun leaving the two perplexed.

Riding in a limousine with Carol, Misuzu is taken to a cafe where Carol and she enjoy cake. There, Carol asks to be Misuzu's friend, and she suggests being Tomo's friend instead.

The next day, Carol meets with Tomo, who after having flashbacks of being rejected by her peers after she asked to be their friend. To her surprise, Tomo happily agrees, which elates Carol, and then asks Misuzu too, and she agrees as well.

Tomo would later tell Jun about her and Misuzu becoming friends with Carol, and he admits that Misuzu and Carol are popular among the guys. Furthermore, he accidentally reveals that he dated Misuzu during middle school.
