Let's start with Akiko Ayase as she remembers her childhood Saki as a cute and innocent little girl.
And speaking of Saki, this is what she looked like when Saki had short black hair. I wonder why Saki would leave her natural hair color to bleach it?
Now, it's time to move to the present as Saki Ayase is invited by Maaya Narasaka to the local swimming pool.
However, Saki decided not to accept Maaya's invitation because she was busy studying. Although I was impressed by her dedication to her studies, I thought that Saki Ayase should calm down sometimes.
Since Saki Ayase isn't going, Yuuta Asamura decides to ask his stepsister if she can give him Maaya Narasaka's contact number. Unfortunately, Saki is currently unable to do so…
So let's move on to the next scene where Yuuta Asamura goes to cram school with the goal of enrolling in a prestigious university in the future.
Additionally, he meets some girls like Kaho Fujinami who wants to give this bookmark back to Yuuta when he accidentally drops it.
Of course, he wasn't here to play pranks because Yuuta wanted to move forward in life through hard work. By the way, he was planning to go to the pool soon, although the problem was that he couldn't get in touch with Narasaka.
That's when Saki Ayase decided to give Maaya Narasaka's contact number when she decided to join her stepbrother and go to the pool together. It's better than locking herself in the apartment and forcing herself.
Although Saki rarely had fun with her friends and stepbrother Yuuta, that wasn't the case back then.
Due to financial difficulties thanks to her mother's messy divorce, Saki has no time to enjoy herself.
Sure that Akiko-san wants her daughter to be happy, Saki gives many reasons for not wanting to be a burden to her own mother.
But anyway, let's move to the present where Yuuta Asamura and Saki Ayase went to the pool with their classmates because they were having so much fun.
Of course, that wouldn't have been possible without Maaya Narasaka, who convinced Saki and Yuuta to join her and have a blast. Either way, it looks like they had some fun memories during their summer vacation.
One last thing, it seems like Akiko-san wants to show Yuuta something important on her smartphone. Oh, I'm really curious about that!
But first, here's Saki Ayase, whose coming from a hair salon surprised even Taichi Asamura and her mother. Oh my, I want to see Saki's new product-
Oh my, she decided to cut her hair short to look like her younger self. By the way, remember what I told you earlier that Akiko-san wanted to show Yuuta something?
Well, she wanted her stepchild to show off an old photo of Saki Ayase in which Yuuta was quite shocked when he saw it, almost as if he had opened up a forgotten memory. You might ask what is this forgotten memory?
It turns out that back then Yuuta Asamura met Saki Ayase with their respective parents at a beach. What a shocking revelation here!
It's crazy how Yuuta and Saki knew each other in the past and then reunited in the present as siblings. Sadly, Saki decided to treat Yuuta like her brother and nothing more.
Well then, see you next time, Yuuta Asamura will have to deal with things after Saki Ayase cuts her long hair and reveals herself as her long-lost friend.
