In the third period of the novel, the two students discuss the banners that have been placed on the walls of the school. The banners were designed by Tanigaki, but they have been left to the two of them because they are the same height. The students discuss how happy they are that they are together, and the students ask each other what they are trying to do with each other's company. When the students are finished with their song, they are asked to assemble at the entrance to the school gate.
