Meiko relaxes, reminiscing about her recent trip to Guam.
However, she fails her final exams and has to take a retake.
Along with her retake classmates Marika and Oto, she studies intensely, even involving Michika and tutoring Rie, who is actually a good student.
As summer vacation arrives, Marika and Oto go home for the holidays.
Meiko, having somehow managed to get through her remedial classes, also plans to go home to her younger siblings, including Mizuori, but she can't help but worry about Rie, who is staying alone at the shop...

Even after the second semester began, Meiko and her friends
continued their usual routines. Michika and Suzu had become regulars at the shop. At high school, they talked about light novels, changed seats in class, and had fun playing games and reading risqué doujinshi in the club room.
Marika, living a completely decadent lifestyle, ended up with her panties exposed due to a backache while live-streaming.
Everyone helped her improve her physical condition. Oto practiced hard for a gaming tournament.
Everyone's fun-filled lives continued...!
