Ep. 9: Hachiman and Yukino share a ride while the group faces issues with Hayato at the amusement park

9

Encouraged by Komachi, Hachiman attends the Kaihin-Soubu meeting with Yui, Yukino, and Isshiki. Yukino realizes the situation is dire, so they seek advice from Shizuka, who provides four tickets to an amusement park. The group visits the park to find ideas for the Christmas event, but since Yukino is a regular with a membership card, only one ticket remains. Yui uses this ticket to invite an extra person, which results in Hayato and his clique joining them, much to Hachiman's annoyance. After enjoying various attractions, Hachiman and Yukino are separated from the group and take a ride together, sharing a personal conversation. Later, Hachiman observes Isshiki talking alone with Hayato; she suddenly runs away in tears while Hayato stands silently with a serious expression.
