It's been a while since we've heard from the narrator, but he's back on his shopping list. He's bummed that he can't approach ishihara while they're on the beach, but then he realizes that she's pretty, so he doesn't have to worry about it. He also realizes that the other boys are hitting on her, which makes her even more attractive to him. He tries to talk to her about it, but she won't let him. She's too busy playing with the other girls in her class, so she'll introduce him to the girls who don't care about their makeup, so they can have lunch together. The narrator is all, "Sorry, but I'm still not sure what to do with this. I'd like to have lunch with you, too" . But then he thinks about how cute she looks with the shaved ice on her dress , and he wonders if she has a boyfriend with her. He realizes that he'll never be able to get to know her like that, since he'd never be friends with other boys like that.
