Aoi remarks the same and asks if Teru is out for a walk. Teru then remarks it is that he is returning from his part time job and asks Aoi the same questions, which Aoi replies that she feels like it and says she wants to buy some snack to eat with Nene tomorrow. She then holds a shark-shaped chocolate candy, to which Teru asks if she likes those, and Aoi replies she does. Aoi then leaves, before Teru then asks if she likes the self-making candy sushi box he is holding up. He then explains how his little sister has given in interest in those, but he doesn't have any experience with those, so he may not be able to make those well. He then suggests how they can make them together in the park or somewhere, which Aoi replies how he looks so reluctant. Teru then asks if she is against, with Aoi admitting that it is normal to not wanting to do it. Teru then asks if she hates him, and Aoi confesses that she doesn't particulary like or dislike him.

Teru then expresses his dissapointment and said he can play with Akane tomorrow, and Aoi the asks if he is tired. He says he is fine, and it is mentioned that Teru is more upbeat when he is more tired. As Aoi walks over to the register, she thinks of how Teru is such a strange person. When she puts the coins on the counter, the cashier grabs her hand and says how she usually comes to the convenience store during his shift, and confesses how he thinks she is cute so he has been interested in her for a some time, while Aoi stands there, horrified. Teru then interrupts the affair and asks if he can chack out. They manage to get out and Teru asks if Aoi hates that sort of thing, Aoi says she hates it.
