The "Hentai" Prince and the Stony Cat

SAY IT BEFORE YOU REGRET ITAfter failing to get Azusa to talk to him, Yōto confronts her former classmates over what happened. They had apparently teased her at her old school due to skipping it a lot, telling her their class was going on a field trip somewhere when they were actually going elsewhere, which led to her becoming distrustful of others. After hearing this, Yōto takes Azusa to the stony cat, telling her about his facade that she acquired and stating his sincere wish to become her true friend. After coming to understand his feelings, Azusa wishes on the stony cat, returning her facade to Yōto. Meanwhile, Tsukiko remembers a time when Yōto once gave her advice on how to get along with children. After showing Yōto a story presentation based on this encounter, which doesn’t ring a bell for him, Tsukiko explains that she doesn’t get along with Tsukushi and she believes she hates her.
