Ef – a Tale of ...

I... (1x7)

:

Renji and Chihiro continue work on the novel at his school's library and they manage to get to around 70% complete. Afterwards, the two take a walk on the beach and Chihiro suddenly asks Renji if he wants to kiss her. This seemingly simple act throws Renji off balance and says that their relationship is not like that, which causes her to run away in tears. Renji breaks down, hoping she will not write down what just happened in her diary. The story shifts to a flashback of when Miyako was waiting for Hirono to show up for their date in the previous episode. Miyako continues to send him voice messages on his cell phone, first being angry for him not showing up, but later becoming increasingly deperate with each call as she does not want Hirono to ignore her. The story shifts back to the present in Hirono's room, with Hirono and Kei together. After Hirono leaves his room to get food, Kei discovers Miyako's messages before Hirono learns of thier existence, and promptly deletes them, as she vowed to "erase her from his memories".
