Like Lovers at the Summer Festival

Like Lovers at the Summer Festival is the sixty-second chapter of To LOVE-Ru.

Plot
Haruna, Risa, and Mio are at a festival, walking around.

Meanwhile, Rito, Lala, and Mikan are walking and eating some cotton candy. Lala enjoys the festival very much, and Mikan asks if it's her first time. Rito, instead, looks somewhat burned out, and Lala asks him what's wrong. Rito then explains that he's exhausted from walking around so much, so Lala tells him to rest while she and Mikan run off to play games.

Later, Yui runs into Rito (sitting on a bench), surprised to see him there. Rito asks her if she came alone making her angry. In response, Yui says she's not here for the festival, but only to check that people like him don't throw dirt on Sainan's name. Rito thinks she is just asking and then invites Yui to hang out with him, Lala, and Mikan. Suddenly, it is announced the mikoshi will start soon. A crowd of people starts to move around both and Rito is then pushed into yet another embarrassing situation with Yui, groping her breast. This naturally leads to her punching him, and he gets caught again by the crowd. When Rito finally comes out, he looks up to see Haruna.

Later, the two are walking, and Haruna explains that she had gotten separated from the group as well. Rito is very embarrassed to stay alone with Haruna and thinks she looks very good in yukata. One of the game owners calls them lovebirds and asks if they want to try a game. Rito tries to point out they are not dating, but the game owners convince him to show his girlfriend how good he is. Rito then tries to show off in front of Haruna (by catching goldfish), but fails. Haruna then tries to cheer him up, because the man gave them a free goldfish. The two of them laugh at getting called a couple.

Then, they go to get some Takoyaki and hang out around the festival. Rito thinks it looks like Haruna is really his girlfriend and it would be great holding hands also. The two are far from the festival and accidentally walk into a park where couples come to relax. Rito tries to seize the perfect chance to confess to Haruna, and actually manages to say he likes her. However, his words are masked by the fireworks, and Haruna doesn't understand well.

Suddenly, Risa, Mio, and Yui (whom they meet on the way) run into them and are surprised to see Haruna and Rito together. Risa then teases Haruna about trying to get Rito to go out with her. Haruna denies it strongly, which Rito seems to notice. Lala and Mikan then show up with an absurdly large amount of prizes. The group then sits and watches the fireworks.
