As the final day continued, the first sister that had missed the previous day had finally showed up. Once again in a disguise, she was wondering what to do.

Ichika:[I got a text from Nino telling me where and when a certain show will be. And if dad's coming, that's another thing we can do... But what should I do the rest of the day? I tried to apologize yesterday but wouldn't it be super embarrassing to try again…?]

After a couple minutes, Ichika noticed the screen that had constantly been showing Tsubaki's face had someone else take over.

Ichika:[I guess she's not the interviewer today...I suppose I'll go to the main building and see if any of my friends are there…]

Once inside the main building, she looked into a couple of classes and talked to some of the people she knew. Once she had gotten through the second floor, she saw Tsubaki scrambling in a panic. Out of curiosity, she decided to follow them. Upon catching up with her, she saw that she was panicking with a bunch of materials.

Ichika:"H-Hey, Tsubaki-chan."

Tsubaki:"I-Ichika-chan! I didn't think I'd see you so soon. Sorry that I'm busy right now, haha…"

Ichika:"Well, I'm not doing anything, so I can help if you want."

Tsubaki:"N-No, I couldn't do that...Although, maybe it could work...It does concern…"

Ichika:"Hm?"

…

On the same floor, there was a certain substitute teacher with a lot of goodies.

Irigaku:"How nice, to think I can still find new things even on the third day!"

At the end of the hallway, he decided to put it all down to let his back rest.

Tsubaki:"Alright, let's go, Ichika-chan! We only have 10 minutes!"

Irigaku:"Huh? That name was of one of the sisters...Oh! I still have her recorder."

Irigaku took out the recorder that had her name on it. He then began to follow the source of the voice...after putting all his items in a safe place.

…

Fuutarou was currently doing safety checks and he stumbled upon the magical stall. Curious, he went to check if the old man was there, but only saw Yae, Sandy and Takebayashi.

Fuutarou:"So he really did leave…"

Yae:"What did you want?"

Fuutarou:"I had some time, so I thought I could kick his ass in Chess."

Yae:"Hmm...Well, maybe you'll see him soon, but he's very busy right now."

Fuutarou:"Alright, then I'll get going."

Takebayashi:"You don't want to take me around?"

Fuutarou:"Nah, it wouldn't be right to get in the way of your friends."

Takebayashi:"Boo. Isn't it normal to have friends?"

Fuutarou:"Whatever. Oh, but if you do see that athletic guy, tell him to do his damn job."

Sandy:"His job? Don't worry, he's been practicing plenty."

Fuutarou:"Whatever."

Takebayashi:[It may be due to a very selfish request, but we're almost done on our side.]

...

"Here's your costume!"

Nino:"T-Thanks…"

Nino was practicing with the girls, getting ready for the concert that would bring the end of the third day.

Nino:"...Say, I know this might be really selfish of me, but do you think we could do a specific song?"

"Uh, well, as long as our leader agrees, we can try. Is it a song that's popular?"

Nino:"A little, but I'm sure you girls have heard it!"

…

Over towards the cafeteria, a lady in a suit with shark teeth was going to make her third visit to the festival.

Shimoda:"Once she's done today, I'll bring up the application I've made for her."

Once she got inside, she noticed no one was there. Shimoda rubbed her eyes and looked again. Nothing.

Shimoda:"...Huh!?"

…

Back at the apartment, Itsuki had just gotten up.

Itsuki:"I haven't had that good of a rest in a long time, even Ichika left before me...I wonder if I did the right thing...It should be time for Shimoda-san to show, I even turned off my phone out of fear."

Itsuki began to change into her uniform.

Itsuki:"But this feeling of going against what's pushed on you like this...It's not the worst feeling…"

Once she was dressed, she was out of the door.

Itsuki:"...I wonder if Yotsuba feels the same way I did yesterday…"

…

"Thanks for helping!"

Yotsuba:"I'll see you later!"

Yotsuba had finished the tasks she had for the day, far earlier and easier than what she was used to. For the first time, she sat down of her own volition.

Yotsuba:"I didn't think I'd get to be like this, Uesugi-san and everyone else was working really hard. Nino is working in the auditorium, I saw Miku going through her line at the stall incredibly well. It even seems like they fixed the issue with the guys...The former track leader is going to do the play again...What should I do?"

…

Outside of the school, in a certain hospital.

Maruo:"...Maybe I should make something for them to eat..."

…

Back at school, coming out of a classroom was a very angered principal.

Principal Takeda:"I'm almost late! Those ungrateful students should be happy I even gave them the time of day!"

…

All the final pieces are moving.
