The arrival of summer: The Meteorite Festival
The summer season has arrived and all the students are happy and anxious due to a great event being held at the station, the Meteorite Festival.

In their bedroom, the canines in Room 701 are cutting their excess fur due to the summer heat. Later, in the drama club, Sanu announces that the drama club will be involved in the preparations for said event, which excites the members of the club, with the exception of Legoshi and the other club stagehands, who are the ones who take the hardest work. After checking their inventory, stagehands are set to recycle most of the decorations of the year past and after finishing the planning. At night, club stagehands return to the academy. While they talk, Legoshi sees Haru the distance and separates from the group. While she was walking, Haru finds a neglected flower pitcher in a hallway and takes it away to give her due care, but is surprised by Mizuchi and her companions who trip her up, while mocking Haru. Mizuchi punishes Haru again, for another "movement" with her boyfriend. When understanding the situation, Haru returns the taunts and enrages Mizuchi who tearfully reprimands Haru for being responsible for ruining their romance. Haru rejects the blame and reprimands her between screams and tells her that she will continue to see her from afar until the day her species becomes extinct and tells her that it will not help to release her frustrations at her. At that moment, Mizuchi and her companions are paralyzed by the intimidating figure of Legoshi, who had arrived and was behind Haru, and they run scared. Haru notices Legoshi behind her and pays him no attention while he is speechless by her presence. Legoshi musters up the courage and tries to help her picking up the flowers. Haru rejects his act of kindness and tries to leave saying that she does not accept compassion from the men she slept with. Legoshi stops her and mentions that they did nothing, referring to their previous meeting.

Haru and Legoshi go to the cafeteria and they end up dining together. While Legoshi is euphoric within his thoughts thinks about how to ask Haru what her name is, Haru begins to talk about trivial issues. She highlights the attention that Legoshi gives her and often mentions how in her previous meeting she had the intentions of sleeping with him and declares that by running away, Legoshi was being realistic. Haru's body is restless as her instincts tell her to run away from Legoshi, but she tries to ignore them. Haru notices Legoshi as a good person and wants to be his friend, but she does not imagine anything that compensates for the differences between them, so she does not take the step. Legoshi does not dare to ask her her name and Haru finishes eating and says goodbye and they both leave. On the way to the bedrooms, one of Haru's shoes becomes undone and she cannot close it. Legoshi helps her and when he bends down both end up seeing each other face to face for the first time, which makes Legoshi highlight the rabbit's black eyes. Haru laughs at this and tells Legoshi her name and Legoshi does the same. Legoshi wags his tail and he wants to see more of Haru.
