Nico was worried that Morihito had suddenly become popular with girls. Even Kanshi had noticed Nico's feelings, but Morihito, the culprit, had no idea. Then, Nico learned that there was a famous tree called the Matchmaking Tree on Mount Futatsu, where they went on a school field trip. There is a legend that a man and a woman who meet under the tree and eat lunch there will be united. Kanshi urges Nico to confess her feelings to Morihito.
