After Renako stayed over at Satsuki’s house and even kissed, Mai seems to take notice of their relationship and finally decides to challenge Satsuki to get Renako back.
Despite what happened last night, Renako came to school acting like Ajisai, acting all sweet and all. She manages to get two of her female classmates amazed, until Satsuki comes in saying good morning to her. Renako didn’t expect this from her. Renako gets upset that Satsuki won’t make eye contact after that one kiss.
Ajisai finally came over, and obviously, she wants to do something with Renako. Of course, when Satsuki called for her, Ajisai became shocked. Eventually, she said that she had other plans and left.
Eventually, in the library, Satsuki said, despite her lips touching Renako’s, her heart is hers, and she didn’t fall in love. Renako wonders if Satsuki is just saying that since she fell for her. Well, Satsuki slaps Renako as she doesn’t take that as a good joke.
At home, Ajisai texted Renako as she wanted to talk. Funny how Renako panicked, as she had never spoken to anyone over the phone. Ajisai knows from Kaho that she is trying to get Satsuki and Mai to make up with each other. Of course, Ranko is panicking over this since it affects the friend group. Ajisai admits that she needs to work more on herself and try harder, which is why she called Renako.
The next day, Mai walks to talk with Satsuki, thanks to Ajisai’s convincing her properly. Funny how Kako talks about the shipping wars between Mai and Ajisai and Mai and Satsuki. She doesn’t know who to root for. That said, a limbo appears in front of the school after school, where Satsuki and Renako have been waiting. They went to a Japanese inn to talk.
Of course, Mai wants to know what she did wrong to Satsuki. Satsuki said it’s fine, as she still holds a grudge, as she said she doesn’t have a crush on Mai. The only reason Mai thinks Satsuki likes her is that she is by her side. They get into an argument over how they feel about each other, and of course, Renako. At one point, Satsuki shows a photo of her kissing Renako and even wants to do it in front of Mai. Now, Mai gets upset at Renako even though she allows Renako to do whatever to make up with her.
They eventually decide to settle it through a match in a first-person shooter game. Funny how Ajisai calls Renako, as she wants to invite Renako to her house during summer break. Of course, Haruna gets upset as Satsuki comes over and Renako ignores her. Funny how Ajisai panicked as she wondered if Renako had a girlfriend. Haruna shot the door because she suspected her older sister was cheating on Mai. Renako has to say that Satsuki is just joking.
Satsuki came over to prepare for the match against Mai. She is not good at first-person shooter games. It makes you wonder, can she get good enough before the actual match? Also, what happens if Mai or Satsuki wins? Well, I guess we’ll find out.

Sena DESERVES happiness. I wanted to see her arc so badly at this point of the show but I also didn’t mind Satsuki’s arc continuing.
Her argument with Mai was compelling stuff. I need not go into detail because I already did but I thought it was a fun twist that Renako got to choose the challenge. She wasn’t ready to become a trophy wife yet.
I do hope Haruna questioning her sister’s sex drive becomes a running gag.
