Summary
Anzu and Subaru arrive to school, where Anzu receives a letter from Kuro in her locker. Only Subaru is available to come with her, and the two head to the meeting with trepidation, though Kuro only returns Anzu's handkerchief and gives his support. Inspired by Kuro's tales of costume-making, Anzu and Subaru form a secret plan. With Mao joining them again, group training begins, and the four dance together. After hearing that Anzu left to make snacks, Mao goes looking for her, running into Kaoru. Following some mild antagonism from Rei, who appears right after, Anzu and Mao meet back up again and return to the room, followed by another run for refreshments. With everyone back together, they realize that Izumi has snuck into the room as well. After spouting some words and them being refuted by Trickstar, he leaves. After practice, the five head to the roof, where Hokuto introduces a new song he had made for them. Rei enters and tells the group about his view of last year's events. The day of the S1 Dreamfes begins, and the Student Council is doing its duties until Souma charges in. Keito runs into the auditorium and is met with UNDEAD's unauthorized performance, accepting their challenge and preparing to charge in after their song's completion.
