School Days

Festival Eve (1x7)

Ausstrahlung: Aug 15, 2007

Kotonoha, refusing to believe that Makoto has cheated on her, still thinks that he loves her. Meanwhile, Tanaka, the other class rep besides Setsuna, has broken his arm, leading to Makoto replacing him. Otome and her friends guilt Kotonoha into getting more material for their class in order to build the hidden "lounge". Some girls from the basketball club have obtained a camera and the required equipment to film this "lounge". Setsuna, not knowing that Sekai was lying to her about Kotonoha and Makoto breaking up, tells everyone that they did, even taking Makoto's cellphone and blocking Kotonoha's calls and text messages. After hearing this, Taisuke tries to ask Kotonoha to go to the folk dance with him during the school festival while helping her carrying boxes, explaining that since she just broke up Makoto, they should go to the folk dance together. This conversation is overheard by Hikari, Nanami, and Makoto who happened to be in the hall nearby. Kotonoha then denies the break up and runs off, bumping into Makoto. Just when Kotonoha is going to talk to Makoto, Nanami steps in and blocks them, accusing Kotonoha of two-timing on Taisuke. Both Kotonoha and Hikari are left heart-broken and crying from the experience. Later during the night, Kotonoha goes to Makoto's house wanting to ask him to dance with her at the festival's bonfire, but sees Sekai's shoes by the door and leaves upset. Sekai feels guilty at having been caught and runs out of Makoto's house, bumping into Kotonoha and getting slapped by her.
