Suddenly Yūto kisses her too. He later apologizes for this, but the two quickly get closer and become a couple. Spurred on by this first couple in class, Yui Aoi ( 蒼 井 結 衣 ) also wants to find a friend. But the students prefer to play pranks on her. Kazuma Hiyama ( 桧 山 一 翔 ), notorious for his pranks, has her under suspicion. But when he helps her outside of school, when she lost a key, she realizes how nice he can be.
