Aired on October 31, 2010
Ayase pressures Kirino to reveal a secret hobby, ending their friendship upon discovery. Distressed by Kirino’s despair, Kyosuke attempts to reconcile the pair, but Ayase refuses due to negative reports on eroge crimes. Kyosuke consults his father to uncover the truth behind these news stories. Despite Kyosuke revealing the facts, Ayase remains unconvinced. Kirino then finds the courage to defend her passion and friendship. Kyosuke adopts a bold stance that temporarily alienates Ayase, but she eventually recognizes the futility of her conflict and apologizes to Kirino. Ayase later texts Kyosuke to thank him for facilitating their reconciliation, while cautioning him against any inappropriate behavior toward Kirino.
