Side Story

Warning, this section contains spoilers.

Rika and Ren are preparing for the Christmas party they will have in a week with their friends, making a promise to spend Christmas Eve together. The two girls think about where they could spend Christmas Eve, but when they see several options in a bookstore magazine, they are unable to decide. Ren observes a part of the museum with a candle display and Rika suggests that they go because she remembers that Ren likes candles, but Ren suggests that they see more things because she is not sure and buys the magazine to see more options, asking Rika for some time alone to decide which would be the best place to go. The two girls say goodbye and Ren begins to think that he wants to go to a place that will make Rika happy, a place that shines as bright as she does. Ren wonders if she belongs in that same place next to Rika and thinks about going to Emiri for advice in her advice room. The next day Ren arrives at the place, finding Akira and Ria Ami, who informs him that neither Emiri nor Rika are there at the moment. Ren says that she wanted to ask Emiri for advice, which is unusual according to Akira. Ria offers to give advice on Emiri's behalf, but Akira suggests it's better to wait for Emiri, but Ren says that she wants to hear the opinions of as many friends as she can. Ren tells them his situation and explains that he can't decide on a place, Akira says that he can't think of something and while Ria starts talking about herself Akira interrupts her by showing her a magazine that Rika and Emiri looked at earlier, to which Ren turns away. She notices that she has notes from Rika on post-its that say "Special Candlelight Night" and Ren agrees with the idea of luminous events when Akira mentions them, but Ria says that since there are many places, Ren must discern the places. to find the most ideal one. Akira stays in the store while Ria takes Ren around all the places in the photos analyzing the places so that Ren and Rika can spend Christmas Eve together, first they rule out a restaurant because it would be strange for two high school students to be alone in a place like that, They then rule out the Minagi Sea amusement park because it's too crowded for Ren and makes her feel uncomfortable. Ria suggests a romantic cafe where couples confess but Ren says that she is still too young to do something like that. Later Ren asks Ria about her personal choice and she takes her to the Minagi port and when they both talk about romance, Ren assumes that Ria must have a boyfriend, to which she blushingly lies saying yes but changes the subject. Later, Ren sees an advertisement for the Minagi Aquarium and when she asks Ria about it, she says that it is a very popular and romantic place, as well as beautiful, so Ren thinks that Rika would like it. Finally, Ria takes Ren with Manaka Kurumi to her Walnuts restaurant, saying that dates end with romantic dinners, but Ren clarifies that it is not a date, but an outing with Rika, which surprises Ria because she thought Ren was talking. from her boyfriend, but Manaka tells Ria that she may have misinterpreted the situation because there was no context of who the outing was for. Ren and Ria return to the Advice Room, where they are greeted by Emiri and Akira, who are surprised to see that Ren actually feels that Ria's advice was good, saying that he wants to go to the Aquarium event and hopes that the preparations go well. . A few days later, Rika is excited because she already has all the gifts for her friends, and on the day before Christmas Eve, she decided to go to a party with her friends from school, especially to help her friends get gifts for their boyfriends. . After advising all her friends, they ask Rika what she will do on Christmas Eve, saying that she will go to the Minagi Aquarium Christmas event with a friend, one of her friends suggests that they all go together with them, but Rika refuses saying who promised that it would only be the two of them, which makes the boys who go to the bathroom sad. Rika's friends tell her that all the boys in her group seem to be interested in them, and since Rika has no interest in them it's not fair. Rika says that if they want to attract their attention they should try to get closer to them, but her friends tell her that they are not as charismatic as her and that they couldn't get boyfriends for Christmas, but Rika tells them that they shouldn't look for boyfriends because they don't want to. spend Christmas alone. The girls complain to Rika, but she tells them that she thought they wanted to get boyfriends because they are interested in someone for who they really are, and that using someone you don't have feelings for on Christmas to not be alone is rude, saying that if they If the situation were the other way around, they would get upset with the boys for using them that way. Rika changes the subject and says that they can find things to all do together that day to truly bond as friends. On her way to karaoke, Rika runs into Ren, but she seems embarrassed to have been seen and she leaves running, so Rika goes after her saying she forgot to do something and leaves her friends to spend time with each other. Rika thinks that Ren may have gotten angry, but before she can send him a message she sees her chasing Aimi Eri, so she decides to follow them. Rika arrives at a park where she finds Ren talking to her with Aimi, comforting her and explaining what happened. Ren introduces Rika and Aimi, and tells what happened. They had both gone shopping together but Aimi saw the boy she likes, Hayato Isesaki, with a girl Aimi had never seen before, so she ran after them and Ren quickly followed her, which was the moment she crossed paths. with Rika and her friends but he didn't have time to explain why he was running. In the end Hayato introduced them to the girl, who is her cousin, so Aimi was able to clarify the situation. Rika is glad the situation has not been dangerous for Ren and hopes that Aimi is better, in addition to asking why she was buying Ren is embarrassed when she tells him that Christmas things and she remembers that there are only two days left until Christmas. Christmas Eve arrives and Ren waits for Rika's arrival, but after a 15-minute delay she begins to worry. Rika later sends a message to Ren apologizing to her because she fell asleep, saying that she probably had some fever, but she is already heading to the aquarium. Ren thinks Rika must have gotten sick because of her chasing her the day before. Ren writes a message to Rika asking her to stay home, but before she can send it she is interrupted by Aimi, who she sees Ren crying. They both go to a cafeteria where Ren explains what happened to Aimi with Rika and her health, so Aimi apologizes saying that Rika got sick because of her, but Ren assures that it is not her fault, revealing that she already had her gift ready. for Rika but he couldn't give it to her because of the nerves he felt. Aimi says that she should make it up to Ren and Rika, proposing to buy them candy. Aimi confirms that she also contacted Rika and asked her to rest, but Ren told her that she thinks the same even though Rika told him that he would meet her. Ren shows Aimi the text he hasn't sent her yet, but he wants to spend Christmas with her. Aimi tells him that if so, tell her face to face that he wants to be with her, proposing that they go buy her gifts together, and after gathering several things Aimi wishes Ren luck as she heads to Rika's house. At home, Rika feels discouraged because of how bad she feels for not having been able to spend time with Ren, but at that moment he knocks on her window, exciting Rika and tells her that she wanted to see her, so she decided that they should spend Christmas together. at Rika's house, showing all the gifts he brought her. Rika wants to go to the aquarium, but Ren asks her to rest so they can go to the Christmas party together with her friends. Ren proceeds to give her gift to Rika while she apologizes for getting sick due to her recklessness. Rika opens her gift: a pair of scented candles, saying that's what she wanted while Ren says that she knew because she saw the post-it of hers in Emiri's advice room. Rika proceeds to give her gift to Ren and it turns out to be a glass candlestick, revealing that she became interested in candles thanks to Ren and that she got one for free, so she proposes that they light the two candles in the candlesticks. . For Rika, the smell is very good and she asks about the essence, which is Fresh Blackberries. Ren says that she should go to her house because she didn't call her mother and Rika thanks Ren, hoping that they can go to the aquarium together another time. Ren is also happy to have spent time with Rika at Christmas.
