Summary
Michitake accepts that he did not find any way to stop the Todai Manji Gang from destroying White Rose at the upcoming May festival. Suddenly, Namioka asks him out to a class party the following Friday to decide on what the class should sell at the festival. Michitake is excited to hear this because he believes that he now has the chance to get closer to Hayase. He believes that merely stopping Ueda is not enough and that he must also become closer to Hayase, whom he wants to date in the future. Yariel is surprised that Michitake is being reasonable for once. He then makes a plan to sit next to Hayase during the party and pretend that she is Makkun so that he can calm himself down while talking to her.

During the party, the class decides to sell chocolate bananas at the festival. Michitake is revealed to have seated beside Makkun instead of Hayase because he got intimidated to do so. Nevertheless, he enjoys speaking with Makkun, who asks him about his academic decisions upon entrance into Todai University. He admits that he chose Science III because of Hayase and immediately notices that she is nowhere to be found. Makkun guesses that she went to the restroom, which encourages Michitake to go there as well, with Makkun trailing behind him.

On the way to the restroom, Michitake finds Hayase talking to another man, whom Michitake does not recognize from their class. Thinking that Hayase is being seduced, he confronts the man about his identity. However, Makkun recognizes him as a student in Natural Science III.
