At lunch, Lala wants to eat with Rito, but he is busy taking Ren out for a talk. Risa and Mio are curious if they will fight over Lala. Rito accuses Ren of being a casanova and a liar about his feelings towards Lala. Ren is confused and claimed he loves only Lala. Rito can't talk about what happened the night before and get angry when Ren states he has not proofs.

Risa and Mio then intervene, coming up with a competition where the first one to kiss Lala between Rito and Ren will get to go out with her. Even though Rito likes Haruna, he cannot allow Ren to have Lala so he accepts. Things get even more complicated when Haruna comes along with the group to the city.
