In the next day, Junichi decides to take a look for her in her club time.

However, the next day, Junichi apologizes to Ai because he failed the cram's school exam due to his clumsiness for answering the questions wrong for a slide (and he even said the answers are supposed to have a good mark). At first, Ai forgives him and just let it by due there will be a remedial exam. But her hope is downed because at midnight, Junichi is forced to go for supplementary lessons which is revealed by Miya (Junichi told Miya to deliver the message of his sudden urgent).
