The next morning, Harima tells her sister that she's surprised to see that her mother is happy. She's also surprised to learn that her sister has taken a step up in the world. Harima asks about the winter vacation that she and her sister are supposed to be taking together. She also asks if they're planning their next date. She tells Harima that she wants him to read the manga that he's been reading in the magazine. The author can hear everything he says, but he doesn't have to say it's bad. He just has to say what he thinks. He likes the way the story is written, and he'll sign the copy for Harima later. The editor of the magazine wants to talk to Harima about his new work. The girl who helped him with the manuscript is also there, and Harima says that the girl is going to kill herself for helping him out with the story. She asks Harima to draw a 120 page manga by next week.
