With midterms looming, Futaro tries to encourage Itsuki and Nino to join his tutoring sessions, but with no success (though Itsuki studies hard on her own). After skipping out on parfaits, Itsuki presents Futaro with her phone to communicate with their father, Maruo, where he learns that he will be fired if even a single one of them fails their exam. He argues with Itsuki, with both of them declaring that they'll never work together again (something he quickly regrets). Back at the Nakano apartment, Futaro and the study group are playing The Game of Life when Nino attempts to eject him; Ichika pretends that Futaro had promised to stay overnight to ensure that he stays. While Futaro takes a bath, Nino pretends to be Itsuki and learns that he will be fired if any of them fail, much to her glee. When they return to studying, Miku asks what kind of girls Futaro likes, which he reveals in the style of a top-three countdown. He interests the girls in studying, when he tells them he will reveal each step of the top-three by each page they complete. As such, all three girls hurry to finish their pages, eager to know his answers. These are: always cheerful, good at cooking and cares about her big brother (revealing that he was just talking about Raiha; he reiterates his lack of interest in dating). Ichika, who has been not-so-subtly setting up Futaro and Miku all evening, talks to him on the balcony, opining that he and Itsuki fight because they are so alike. Miku allows Futaro to sleep in her bed, rooming with Ichika for the night, but after getting up in the night for the bathroom, she forgets and returns to her own room. The next day, Futaro wakes to find himself next to a sleeping Miku. (Source: Wikipedia)
