ตอนที่ 2: ฮาจิมันขัดจังหวะการสารภาพรักของคาเครุเพื่อรักษาความสงบสุขทางสังคม ท่ามกลางเสียงวิพากษ์วิจารณ์

2

On the second day of the Kyoto trip, Hachiman runs into Yumiko Miura at a convenience store and learns that Hina had rejected every one of her romantic suitors, with Yumiko adding her content in the current status of their social group. The Soubu students arrive in Arashiyama the next day and Hayato uncharacteristically confides in Hachiman about his myopic fears on the consequences that Kakeru's confession will have on the integrity of their social group, and tasks Hachiman with saving it. As the Soubu students quietly observe Kakeru's confession to Hina later that night, Hachiman once again risks his social reputation by interrupting them and faking a confession to Hina. Hina rejects him and explains her desire to be single for the time being before running off. Kakeru then thanks Hachiman for saving him from the embarrassment of rejection before leaving with Hayato and the others. Despite him saving a social group from imploding, Yukino voices her disgust at Hachiman's methods and Yui tearfully yells at him for failing to see how his unorthodox problem solving methods hurt those who care about him. The next day, Hina thanks Hachiman for fulfilling her request and saving the status quo of her social group. (Source: Wikipedia)
