School Days

After Evening Festival (1x9)

Air date: Aug 29, 2007

Setsuna and Kotonoha have a short conflict. Makoto flirts with Sekai the entire day, paying absolutely no attention to Kotonoha. When Makoto finally checks his cell phone, he finds twenty messages from Kotonoha who has been stuck minding her class' haunted house and "lounge," which is used by couples for sexual activities. On his way to finally see Kotonoha, he is stopped by Otome, who attempts to ask him to the bonfire dance later, only to be interrupted by Sekai. Back in the kitchen, Sekai asks if Makoto will dance with her at the bonfire. Otome encounters Taisuke, who is sulking over being rejected by Kotonoha. They discuss Makoto and Kotonoha's relationship status, and each resolving to be more assertive with their crushes. While Kotonoha is away from the lounge, Otome takes Makoto there, pushes herself onto him, and they have sex. Natsumi and Minami again bully Kotonoha about Makoto ignoring her, and she goes to his class room to see him. There she finds Taisuke who tells her that Makoto has already gone to the bonfire with Sekai. He then confesses to her and takes her into his arms. Makoto dances with Sekai around the bonfire, while Taisuke undresses and takes advantage of Kotonoha's fragile emotional state.
