Is he testing me? is he testing his love for me? No, he's testing her to see if she's interested in him. She's not so sure, but she'll do whatever it takes to get rid of him. Nozomi is super excited to help her sister out with the errands. She tells us that she heard about her business trip to akishima from the guy. He's eager to improve himself, and he wants to drink with her. She asks him what he first thought of her when she met him. Nope, she says, nothing between him and her . Uh-oh, it sounds like you've been trying to get to know him from the other side of the fence, so she wants to talk to him alone. She doesn't want to be seen talking to weird people. She wants to get away from the office so she can talk to the guy alone. It's raining, and she wonders if it's okay for her to go on this hike alone with no one around. She wonders if the path is really steep, but no one seems to be on the hike. She decides to keep going anyway.
