In this chapter, Shmoo tries to cheer Hiromi up by reminding him that he's not his girlfriend, but that he wants to invite her to visit him in the future. Hiromi is bummed that he hasn't been able to finish his homework, but Shmoo points out that it's Hiromi's fault because his grades have gone up. Shmoo thinks that's a good thing, since he'll be able to get Hiromi to come over and help him with his homework when school's back in session in a couple of weeks.
