Naegi and Misato fall asleep while they're drinking. The remaining are also started to digest the food. Some are walking, some are just sitting waiting for the time to pass. Aoi ask's for a favor to Yuri to clean the dishes.

[Aoi]: Yuri?

[Yuri]: Yes?

[Yuri]: Yes, Ma'am.

[Aoi]: Can you clean the dishes?

[Yuri]: Yes Ma'am

[Aoi]: Thank you. Sorry for giving my work to you

[Yuri]: No Ma'am. I'm glad to help.

Shin already feel light while Kazumi and others still feel heavy. When Shiina asked Shin to help Yuri, Shin was already in the pool playing by himself, Sliding on the slides. Kyousuke suddenly felt the urge to vomit. Kazumi assist's Kyousuke to the bathroom while Mizuki and Kentaro fell asleep.

*5:00pm*

Naegi wakes up with a slight hangover. Shin was about to get out of the water when Kyousuke and Kazumi pull him back. Aoi and Yuri also wakes up Mizuki and Kentaro. Naegi realizes that the time is late and he wakes Misato up but Misato doesn't want to wake up. He drinks some water and went out to call everyone. When he gathered everyone, he announced something. "Everyone, I have an announcement. We will make this day a free day and we will start the real teambuilding tomorrow since it was so late." Everyone agrees.

Everyone then splits. Kyousuke take Aoi with him to buy outside. Shin take Shiina on the playground, Mizuki write a novel while Kentaro reads it. When Yuuki was about to go, Kazumi asked her, "Want to go with me? In the flower fields." Yuuki agreed and went with Kazumi. Naegi come on the room where Misato is. He force her to wake up to make a plan for tomorrow. But Misato really don't want to wake up and just ignoring him, even when Misato is clearly awake. When Naegi told her that there will be a paycut, Misato instantly get up and ask's Naegi what errand does Naegi will give to her.

[Misato]: What do you want?

[Naegi]: I just need your help here.

Misato was known for arranging events and is given a title "The planner". Misato then starts planning for activities tomorrow. Meanwhile, Kazumi and Yuuki was strolling and looking on the flowers. There are many kinds of flowers, Yuuki smells the flowers while Kazumi was telling her the background of that flower. Yuuki was amazed that Kazumi knows many things. When Kazumi looks besides him, he saw a group of unique flower. Yuuki also notices it and asked him about it.

[Kazumi]: I can't believed i will cross with one of these here.

[Yuuki]: What is that?

[Kazumi]: That's torch ginger, or Etlingera elatior

[Yuuki]: Etligna what?

[Kazumi]: Et-lin-ge-ra.

[Yuuki]: What is it beside that?

At glance, Kazumi recognize it. He is happy and get excited when he saw it. He also holds it gently with his hands. "It was red camellia, The rarest flower in the world. So beautiful." Yuuki worders if Kazumi was interested in flowers. Kazumi suddenly got tears flow. "It was what my Mother want to see in her life." Yuuki wants to know so he tells Kazumi to tell her his story. "My Mother was a florist, and I'm always there to assist's her. We came accross many flowers, even rare ones, except for this." Yuuki then hold Kazumi's hands on the flower, looks at him and smile at him.

Kyousuke and Aoi was also heading towards the flower fields when they saw Yuuki and Kazumi having their time together. Aoi was about to say hi but Kyousuke stops her. "What's the problem Kyou?" Kyousuke replied with a sincere face. "Let them be." Aoi gets it immediately and confirms it with him. "Is it like what i am thinking right now?" Kyousuke replied, "It is what you think it is." Both of them backs up without getting notice.

It was getting dark. As the sun goes down, Kazumi wanted to go back but Yuuki doesn't want to. She didn't let Kazumi's hands go. "Wait, don't go yet. There's still something i want to show you." Kazumi wonders about it. Yuuki start counting, "One, Two, Five... Here it is." Kazumi is confuse, "Here what?" The sun falls on them slowly. It's getting darker and darker, and the sunlight on them is fading. "Look up, Kazumi." When Kazumi looked up, he saw a beautiful starry night sky. "It's beautiful." Yuuki felt spark on her when he saw Kazumi looking at the sky, She blushed.

Kyousuke and Aoi was also fascinated by the view of the sky. "I hope, The time freeze forever." Aoi giggles, "What are you saying?" Kyousuke holds her hand tightly. "Nothing." They looked at each other eye to eye, and they had a personal talk.

[Aoi]: Hey Kyousuke, Why are you doing this?

[Kyousuke]: Because i felt like to.

[Aoi]: I feel that there's another reason behind it. If it's because i will be gone...

Kyousuke held her hands tighter.

[Kyousuke]: Yeah it's a part of it but, It's still a secret, yet.

[Aoi]: And that you are becoming more and more like your old self. Like that time.

They had a brief silence. They both looked at the sky, reminiscing.

[Aoi]: If only we understand each other back then... Then we...

Shiina unexpectedly called them to go back. When Shiina saw them holding hands with their serious looks, She realized that something is going on. "Sorry for interrupting you." Then she leaves them alone. Shiina was thinking about it while finding Kazumi and Yuuki. When she saw them at the flower field, Shiina was shocked to see them holding hands. So she just go back to Misato. "What did i just see? It's so unexpected... Wait, What is happening?"

When he gets back to the cottage, Shiina makes an excuse for both of them. Misato was about to go and call them but Shiina insist's that they should be left alne for now. "Why are you stopping me Shiina?" Shiina got panicked, " Huh!?... Etooo, Hmmm yeah that." Misato can't understand her so she just go, But Shiina was not letting her go. "Just listen to me, Misato." Misato smacks her in the head. "It's Ms. Misato." Misato stops and ask's Shiina for explanation. Shiina then whispered to Misato. "SERIOUSLY!? Also That two!?" Misato just nods.

In shocked, Misato decides to use Shiina to find them and gossips at them. They went to where Kazumi and Yuuki is. But when they got there, they are not to be found. Also Aoi and Kyousuke was not there. "Tsk, They got away. Let's go back Shiina." When they got back at the cottage, They was already there. Shiina was surprised and asked them, "How did you get here?" Kentaro and Mizuki just tells them that they called them. Misato and Shiina whispers at them.

[Misato]: Hey, Kentaro. What did you see to them when you called them?

[Kentaro]: They're just talking... I think.

[Misato]: Oh really?

[Kentaro]: Yes.

While eating dinner, Naegi told them to rest early as they will start teambuilding tomorrow. Only Shin has the only appetite to eat many. While Shiina and Misato was observing the pair. Kazumi and Yuuki, Kyousuke and Aoi. Misato felt that something has changed in the mood of their branch. But, Shiina made her remember that it was just the old times. But, It was still new to Misato that Kazumi and Yuuki having a closer relationship, Though she thinks that they noticed it.

After that, Everyone was tired and want to rest badly. So, They immediately go to their rooms to rest and sleep. Mizuki, Kentaro, Naegi and Misato was left outside. Naegi ask's the help of them to manage all of them while they are not looking. Mizuki and Kentaro agrees. Misato also ask's them what they are noticing with the relationships, especially the four of them. Mizuki got nothing to say but Kentaro got a hunch. "Maybe they are inlove on each other or because their partner will not be long before they are gone." Misato remembers Aoi's remaining time, and look for the file of Yuuki. She saw that she also only has thrice as the time of Aoi.

Misato felt sad, and had the urge to help them. So, They ended up planning focusing on them while the others will do their usual teambuilding. Shiina heard their conversation so, She left her bed and went to talk with them, Volunteering herself.

[Misato]: I thought you are going to sleep, Shiina.

[Shiina]: Let me help you on whatever you have plan for them.

[Misato]: Why do you want to help them?

Shiina was thinking, "I just think that they deserve even a bit of quality time. Look, It's impossible for them to not feel sadness everyday and... I don't want them to feel what i felt that day. So, As long that there's time, we can atleast make them forget about it. Right?"
