Detailed Summary
The trio are gathered in Habara’s house. Yanagin asks the others why high school boys existed at all, to which Ikushima laughs and remarks that it was a rude thing to say. Habara asks Yanagin if she had a problem with them. Yanagin responds that they weren’t fun to watch at all and could just be ignored. Ikushima adds that being a girl herself, she couldn’t understand why they tried to look cool all the time.

Habara chimes in, saying that boys always tried to make themselves look tougher than they really were, and always shifted their burdens on to others. Yanagin agrees, and points out that one such specimen lived right next door, so they might as well ask for his opinion on this. She opens the door to the lawn and yells across the wall for ‘Toshiyuki’.

After a brief silence, Karasawa appears in the neighbouring house’s balcony and asks them what’s happening. Yanagin and Ikushima shout across, asking him why he was still alive and telling him to die already. Karasawa lets out a disdainful huff, enraging the two girls. They demand that he come down and face them, while accuse him of looking down upon high school girls and stealing their popularity.

Karasawa silently throws down a handful of chocolates on to Habara’s lawn. Ikushima and Yanagin, immediately distracted, run to catch them in glee and start munching on them. Habara, anguished, tells them they’re behaving like animals. As the two continue eating ravenously, she asks them why they were staring at her and adds that she wouldn’t ask them to share.
