It's the end of the summer vacation, and Ruchika and her sisters have decided to go for a walk on the beach. They're not sure what to do about the fact that their house is rented out, so they decide to cancel the lease and go on vacation instead. They also decide to tell Futaro that he's been reading a romance novel, which they think is inappropriate for a high school student to read. The girls decide to invite everyone to their house for a picnic, and they're all excited to see the beach, since they haven't been to it in a long time. They think they'll be able to see it from their house, but they don't know why their dad isn't there, since he was supposed to be at home studying for exams. They wonder why she's decided to move out, since she hasn't seen her dad in a while, and she doesn't think he'll show up soon. They decide to talk to the girls about the whole thing, since it's their first time going to the beach together in years.
