Synopsis
In the morning, Haru and Louis have sex, and she recalls how she met Louis.

Two years ago, while doing her duties at the gardening club, Haru was shocked to find Louis, who had his face bloody from having shed his antlers. When he saw her, Louis approached her and asked her to promise not to tell anyone that he lost his antlers and bribes her with money, so he could stay in the club for ten days. Haru does not accept his money and asks for other conditions. Haru agrees to use the ten days to treat Louis and fix his head. Two days later, while Haru tries to treat Louis's wounds, although he tries to do it himself, Louis stops Haru causing a pause where he caresses her, but stops before trying something, apologizing for trying to persuade her. Haru kisses him in response.

Back in the present, after ending their relationships, Haru tells Louis that she will attend the Meteor Festival to sell plants to support the club's budget. Louis offers to give her the money she needs for the club, but Haru refuses, stating that she prefers love to money. While dressing, Louis mentions that he must keep his family blood "pure" and as his love life has already been decided, affirming that he must find a companion deer and Haru a rabbit. Louis says goodbye and when opening the curtain he meets Legoshi who was about to knock on the door.
