Yuichi encounters Mai and her friend Sayuri Kurata, who invites him to join them for lunch. Meanwhile, Makoto is sent by Akiko to purchase food but instead spends the money on manga volumes and nikuman. Although Yuichi intends to scold Makoto to teach her a lesson about her spending habits, Akiko intervenes. Rather than punishing Makoto, Akiko decides to simply give her her own allowance to cover the expenses. This sequence highlights the differing reactions of the characters to Makoto's unauthorized purchases, with Yuichi focusing on discipline and Akiko choosing a more lenient approach to resolve the situation.
