Story[]
Mafuyu visited Ugetsu at his house. Ugetsu was surprised because he had thought it was Akihiko that came home. Mafuyu said that he wanted to watch Ugetsu practice.
Haruki received an email regarding CAC’s third round. He then showed it to Akihiko. At school, Ritsuka came to Mafuyu’s class to ask if he got the same message. Mafuyu said that he had finished the lyrics.
It is now October. Haruki called out for Akihiko but there was no reply. They were invited to watch CAC’s first day and Haruki was wondering if Akihiko wanted to go too. He called Akihiko’s phone but Akihiko had left his phone on the couch.

At the venue, Mafuyu introduced Ritsuka as his boyfriend to his old friends, Hiragi and Shizusumi. Hiragi and Shizusumi are playing on the first day of CAC. Mafuyu pointed out that it was Ritsuka’s first time meeting Shizusumi but they had met Hiragi before. However, Ritsuka couldn’t remember as he is bad at remembering names and faces. Hiragi being petty, asked the duo why they are here instead of practicing.
The CAC was their first time in a competition. Hiragi said that he was surprised that the vibe was more like a normal show. Mafuyu said that since it’s a live performance with judges, he thought it would be set up like in the reality TV shows. Ritsuka then explained that the votes are calculated through ballots that were given when they entered the venue. Shortly after Hiragi and Shizusumi left, Haruki arrived at the venue. Ritsuka asked where Akihiko was. Haruki replied that Akihiko was already gone when he woke up and he couldn’t get in touch with him.
Akihiko had returned to Ugetsu’s house. Ugetsu was in the middle of practicing violin and he was surprised to see Akihiko.
