The next day Honoka was released from hospital and Kotori was the one who picked her up. Kotori was going to escort Honoka to her house but she saw that Honoka seemed uncomfortable going back to her house at the moment. Kotori called Honoka's family and told them about Honoka's situation. They were saddened about hearing that Honoka wasn't comfortable coming back home with them but they understood that they shouldn't force her to return. Kotori asked Honoka how she would feel if she stayed with her. Honoka seemed to relax when Kotori asked that. Kotori decided to take Honoka back to her house. After a long day it was time for bed. Kotori had to go to school tomorrow but Honoka had gotten a couple days off so she could recover from her head trauma. The next morning Kotori got ready for school and before she left she told Honoka what she should be aware of.

"Don't go off with strangers, the only people you can go with are the eight other girls that I introduced you to" Kotori said

Honoka nodded. She was listening to everything that Kotori was telling her. After Kotori went over the rules she left for school. Honoka just stayed home and tried to regain her lost memories but every time she tried her head would start hurting. Honoka decided to give up on trying to regain her memories by herself at the moment. Honoka just stayed inside the house all day. She couldn't really go anywhere since she had a sprained ankle. She just slept through the whole day. She woke up and decided to go outside and see what was going on outside of the house. She spent some time outside but she didn't leave the Minami residence.

After a couple of days Honoka was ready to go back to school. Kotori held Honoka's hand and was leading her to the school. Kotori didn't want Honoka to get lost and because of her amnesia she forgot the directions to the school. When they were about half way to the school they saw Umi walking ahead of them. Kotori shouted at her to get her attention.

"Umi!" Kotori shouted

Umi turned around and saw Kotori and Honoka. She was happy to see that Honoka was coming back to school. Umi ran up to them and greeted them.

"Kotori, Honoka good morning" Umi said with a smile

"Good morning Umi" Kotori said as she smiled back

Umi shifted her gaze over to Honoka expecting her say good morning. But what she did instead was hide behind Kotori. Umi's smile dropped when she saw this. She knew that Honoka had amnesia and didn't remember who any of them were but that didn't make it any less painful. Kotori saw that Umi's smile had stopped and turned to Honoka and saw that she was trying to hide herself from Umi.

"Honoka, it's ok. This Umi Sonoda. She's one of our friends. There's no need to be so nervous" Kotori said

Honoka revealed herself and looked at Umi. Umi just smiled in return. She was trying to let Honoka know that there's was nothing to be afraid of. Honoka let go of Kotori's hand and grabbed Umi's hand and started to shake it.

"Good morning Umi" Honoka said

Umi cheered up a little bit. Honoka may not have her memories but that fact that she was here and was ok was good enough for her. The three them were walking to school again. Kotori was holding Honoka's hand again. They made it to the school and saw the seven other girls were there and it was obvious that they were waiting for the three girls. They wanted to know if their leader was feeling better.

They saw them enter the campus and ran up to them and greeted them. All of them turned towards Honoka and asked her if she was ok. Honoka felt intimidated and hid herself behind Kotori again. Umi managed to calm the girls down and scolded them for their actions. She told them that Honoka was nervous around them since she didn't know who they were because of her memory loss. They apologized and soon went to class. When it was lunch time Rin decided to go up to Honoka.

"Honoka!" Rin said

Honoka looked and saw that it was the orange haired girl. She started to feel nervous. Rin tried ease her worries.

"Don't worry, we're both friends. I'm Rin Hoshizora" Rin said

"It's nice to meet you Rin" Honoka said

"Honoka there's something that I want to try, if it works you might get your memory back" Rin said

"Really?! Please try it! I really want my memory back" Honoka said

Maki was walking down the hallway and saw Honoka and Rin talking to each other. Maki smiled. It looked like Honoka was starting to get used to them. Her smile dropped when she Rin hit Honoka on the head pretty hard. Maki's eyes went wide and ran over to them. She glared Rin and demanded an explanation.

"Rin! What are you doing?! Why did you hit Honoka's head?!" Maki asked

"Honoka lost her memory because she hit her head right?" Rin asked

"Yes" Maki answered

"Well I thought that if I hit her head than Honoka's memories would come back" Rin said

Maki's eyes went wide when she heard Rin's explanation. She couldn't believe Rin thought that would work.

"Amnesia doesn't work like that Rin. Hitting her head would make things even worse" Maki said

"Really?!" Rin asked in a surprised voice

"Yes! Hitting someone on the head who has amnesia is the worst thing to do" Maki said

Maki turned to Honoka, who was holding her head in pain. Honoka also had tears in her eyes. Maki was concerned so she asked her if she was ok.

"Honoka, are you ok?" Maki asked

Honoka looked up and immediately scooted back trying to get away from the red head. Maki was hurt at first but she realized that Honoka didn't know her because of her amnesia. Maki decided to introduce herself to her again

"Don't be afraid Honoka, I'm Maki Nishikino we're friends so you have no reason to be afraid" Maki said

Honoka relaxed a little but was still a little shy but she decided to trust the red head.

"Are you ok?" Maki asked

"Yes, I'm ok" Honoka said

"Are you sure?" Maki asked

"Yes, I'm sure. Rin hit me on the head so suddenly. She said she thought of something that might help me get my memories back" Maki said

Maki glared at Rin and Rin just sweat dropped at her glare. When school was over Honoka was approached by Nozomi and she started to feel nervous again.

"Hi Honoka. I'm Nozomi Toujou. We're friends so you don't need to feel so nervous" Nozomi said

Honoka calmed down a little but she was still nervous around busty girl.

"I may have found a way for you to get your memories back" Nozomi said

"You aren't going to hit me on the head are you?" Honoka asked

"No, of course not" Nozomi said

"Then go ahead and try it" Honoka said

Nozomi grinned and walked behind Honoka. Honoka was confused and didn't know what Nozomi was going to do. She felt a pair of hands grope her chest and Honoka gave out a yelp of surprise and embarrassment.

"W-w-w-what a-a-a-are y-y-y-you d-d-d-doing?" Honoka stuttered

"Trying to help you get your memories back" Nozomi said

Nozomi started to massage her chest which made Honoka moan.

"You may not remember it but you worried us. We had to drop out of the live performance. This is your punishment" Nozomi said as she continued her assault on poor Honoka

When Nozomi was done with her assault she let go of Honoka's chest. Honoka looked at Nozomi with teary eyes. Nozomi felt a sharp pain on her face. She realized that Honoka had just slapped her in the face. Nozomi was shocked that she was slapped by Honoka. Eli came down and saw both Nozomi and Honoka standing in front of each other. She smiled and approached them. Honoka turned around and saw Eli coming her way. She wanted to run away. Eli saw that Honoka looked uncomfortable and decided to ease her worries.

"We're friends Honoka you don't need to worry. I'm Eli Ayase" Eli said

Honoka calmed down a little bit but kept a sharp eye on Eli. Eli saw that there was a large red mark on Nozomi's face.

"Nozomi there's a red mark on your face, what happened?" Eli asked

"Well I thought Honoka would remember something if I groped her so I decided to give it a try but she slapped me when I let go of her" Nozomi said

Eli just looked at Nozomi in disbelief.

"What made you think that was a good idea?" Eli said

"Well, that wasn't the only reason. It was also a punishment for having us worry about her like that. It was also for making drop out the competition as well" Nozomi said

"No wonder Honoka slapped you like that" Eli said

Honoka found herself sitting on a bench in the courtyard. She was approached by a girl with red eyes and black hair that was put up in twin tails. Honoka got nervous again.

"Why are so shy around one of your closest friends?" Nico said

"Friends? Are we friends?" Honoka asked

"You bet we are! I'm Nico Yazawa and I'm the universe's greatest idol! Nico said with pride

"You're an idol?" Honoka asked

"Yes! You're an idol too!" Nico said

"I am?!" Honoka asked in shock

"Yes and you're almost as good as me but you still have a long way to go before you reach my level" Nico said

Honoka just nodded. She then found herself being confronted by Hanayo. She got nervous again.

"Don't worry Honoka we're friends so there's no need to feel shy. I'm Hanayo Koizumi" Hanayo said

Honoka relaxed when Hanayo gave her introduction. When it was time to go home Kotori grabbed her by the hand led her back to her house. Tomorrow was weekend and that gave the group sometime to help Honoka regain her lost memories.
