"Is it okay for someone like me to love you...?"

It's been some months ever since Touka and I started our fake relationship. Now the second term is over for me, and summer's at the front door. I just have to finish the final exams and school will pretty much be over for a while.

Ike has invited me and Touka to the student council's summer trip. Between that and Kana constantly trying her hardest to get me to "defect to her side" and leave Touka, even after I rejected her confession, things definitely aren't quieting down this summer, that's for sure

Makiri-sensei is also coming with us on the trip. She's been acting weird lately, and after talking with her for a bit I find out that, apparently, she's worried about a marriage interview her father forced on her. She's someone I owe a lot, and just as she's concerned about me, I'm also worried about her. Isn't there anything I can do to help her out?

She then opens herself to me. If only she could truly fall in love with someone at least once...! But who could that someone be? Definitely not me, right...?
