Golden Time

After finally making his anticipated college debut, Tada Banri gets lost in the unfamiliar streets of Tokyo. While lost, he encounters Yanagisawa Mitsuo in a similar situation, and they head to campus together when a car stops in front of them and out steps the beautiful Kaga Koko with a bouquet of roses.

While enjoying a friendly conversation with his classmate Oka Chinami, he realises the group next door is making quite a lot of noise. Ignoring the warnings of those around him, the moment Banri looks in on his neighbours, a tipsy Sao-chan and Shi-chan appear and drag him into the tea club's party from hell.

After briefly greeting 2D-kun at the meeting place, the students are loaded into vans and the group departs. However, the vans pass by the seminar house the students were told they would be staying at and proceed deeper into the mountains. Where are they talking Banri and the others...?!

While lost in the mountains, Banri and Koko are saved by Linda-senpai, who happened to be in the area for the festival club's overnight trip, and safely return to Tokyo. When Banri arrives at school the next day, he finds a worried 2D-kun and his friends waiting for him.

Banri receives Koko's response to his confession after he returns from his trip home. The next day, Banri is unsure how to respond to Koko's unwonted enthusiasm, but Yanagisawa continues ignoring her.

Banri receives a pair of sneakers from Linda-senpai. Koko senses something off about the exchange and asks Banri about it, but he dodges her question. Banri and Koko decide to accept Chinami's invitation to her party, but they end up sitting with Yanagisawa and the atmosphere becomes uncomfortable.
