Plot[]
The couples arrive at their double date. Before everyone's arrival, Kengo privately told Seki to take advantage of this opportunity and try to show more of his appeal. Seki is not sure, but Kengo explain to simply be himself. At the meeting point, Seki compliments Mari's clothes, which Kengo notes that Seki quite smooth at handling small talks. Mari tries to return the compliment, but Kokon notes that her client seems to struggle a touch. Kokon then leads everyone to the plan for the day.
They arrive at a nearby beach and Seki wonders if they are surfing, but Kokon corrects him by saying it is standup paddleboarding, or SUP for short. Kokon demonstrates by standing on her board and starts rowing with her paddles. Mari has a hard time as she struggles to climb on the board itself. Kokon encourages her, pointing out she has good reflexes, and can try climbing on in a crawling position first. Mari tries to excuse herself but Kokon tells her to quit whining and explains the benefits of SUP and Mari quickly changes her mind.
Kengo thinks marine sports is an unusual proposal, but Kokon counters that it is well suited to students due to its relatively low price and easy accessibility. Besides, there is no such thing as perfect dates, it all depends on preferences and seasons. Karaoke or amusement park can be done with anyone, but starting a special hobby together will give one a good reason to ask someone out. Kokon then lies down and takes a nap. Meanwhile, Mari is still struggling and Seki comes to offer her aid despite shaking himself. The two continue to struggle together, with Seki even falling into the water at one point. However, they eventually get the hang of it and all four of them start taking in the sights. Kengo notes that two have slowly improved and this has been a good date.
After coming ashore, Kokon wonders out loud where to grab food. Kokon and Kengo plan to take their leave at the right time, leaving Seki and Mari on their own. Meanwhile, in Mari's mind, she has observed that Seki is a kind man, even if he is a little scary at times. Despite her prejudices, she cannot help but follow him with her own eyes, and her heart beat a little faster just by standing next to him. Furthermore, Seki has previously stated that he likes her, if she just has a little bit courageous...
Suddenly, Mari's phone starts ringing. When she finishes her call, Mari announces that her mother is in a bad mood, and she has to head home. And in her mind, she also plans to ask her mom what to do.
