5

Depressed about managing the pool, Chiaki initiates a tag game using a garden hose to boost morale. When Makoto takes the hose, a chaotic three-way water battle erupts involving Uchida and Yoshino, effectively hiding Chiaki's inability to swim and the failure of her mental calculations. The narrative then shifts to Kana, who analyzes the social dynamics of middle school through a public pool outing. This segment highlights Fujioka's confusion regarding appropriate physical contact between males and females, leading to a social miscalculation. Touma offers her viewpoint on the situation, ultimately demonstrating that interactions between males are significantly simpler and allow for more freedom compared to cross-gender encounters.
