Summary
The next morning at school, Ren starts out right away telling Lala how beautiful she is. Rito is still infuriated by what he saw in the previous chapter and believes that it had to have been a mistake. Rito note how Ren is pretty popular with the girls. Indeed some female classmates ask to boy help for the homework; when Ren accidentally grope one of them is immediately forgiven. Rito then gets even more suspicious and angry when Ren goes up to Haruna and thanks her for their talk returning her handkerchief (Rito doesn't know what he is thanking her for).

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 feeling towards Lala. Ren is confused and claim he love 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.
