The next time we see yamada, she's at the festival with a friend from class 2-1. They're holding hands, and the girl is self-confident. She's hurt, she tells us, like akama. We learn that akama's childhood friend is also a girl from the same class as yamada. The two of them look like they're in love, and yamada thinks that's a new feature of his photo. She asks why he's acting weird today, and he says that it's because of his love for her. He's not lying, he says, he just has a lot on his mind. He wants to know why he stood up, and she tells him to shut up. He tells her that he hates her and her hair, and that he doesn't know what she means by "princely" . She tells him that she likes him because of how handsome he is, and also because of the fact that he is a prince.
