Synopsis[]
Houki calls her sister, her sister, who reveals she has completed an IS called Akatsubaki just for her. After being hassled in the morning by a naked Laura, who somehow sneaked in his room, and walked in on by Houki and wacked around by a kendo shinai/practice sword, Ichika goes with Charlotte to the mall to buy swimsuits for their beach study session while Lingyin, Cecilia and Laura stalks them. When Charlotte notices them following her, she hides with Ichika in the dressing room to show off her swimsuit, but they are both discovered by Chifuyu and Maya. During the beach study session, the girls try to get close with Ichika with various results. As sunset arrives, Chifuyu talks with Houki about Tabane and believes her sister will come with the Akatsubaki on July 7.
