[Synopsis]
Eiyū is acting strange. Smiling like a saint who has reached enlightenment, he declares, "Isn't it weird for childhood friends to act like they're in a rom-com!" Shio, Akari, Runako, and Haru are bewildered and a bit put off by his behavior. However, this was the result of Eiyū's desperate internal struggle to "treasure the four of them as childhood friends." Is love a hindrance to childhood friendship? Eiyū will find the answer during the final event of the sports festival—the scavenger hunt! The trendiest childhood friend rom-com finally reaches its climax!
