Episode Summary

The Hyper-Efficient Girl

Going back to the classroom for his forgotten phone, Rentaro locks eyes with Nano Eiai, who has perfect marks in every subject, and feels the destined-partner shock. Nano judges everything by efficiency; a rumor even says she is an AI. In a biology lab she disinfects his cut finger with saliva, but brushes off his thanks, insisting that fun yields nothing.

Troubled by feelings she can't explain, Nano confesses and then immediately rejects him, calling student romance a waste of time. Rentaro asks for a single date. At the amusement park Nano calls the day fun but meaningless; when he lights a lighter as if to burn the instant photo he had taken of her, she panics, and he tells her that fear proves she gained something precious. Once her tears stop, Nano confesses again and kisses him first, and the other girlfriends welcome her.
