So, the whole club’s out for a trip to the beach.
Chitose finds out and wants to come along, trying to squeeze herself into Mugi’s bag. Sakaki sees her and drags Chitose off, and Chitose complains about how boring their practice is.
She thinks Mugi’s so lucky, having so much fun in the beach. But in truth, the other club is being forced by Nono to practice all-out, too. They can’t even have fun in the sea.
Meanwhile, Kayo is alone with her camera; she also goes through pics which she took.
Then, back to the club by the beach. Nono distributes the script they are going to use, and Mugi is shocked to find out that she’s the lead (also, Sakaki tells Chitose that she is also going to play a huge role in their play) Mugi doesn’t want to do it, but is forced, as usual.
Katsuragi asks to speak to Nono outside (jokes about a date, which Nono refuses instantly). He tells her not to put too much pressure on Nono. But, when they get back to practice, Mugi talks again about how she can’t do this and Nono blows up on her and tells her she should just go back to being useless. Mugi agrees and runs out of the cottage, clearly upset, and Risaki tells Kai to go after her.
Because of Nono’s outburst, Risaki punches her, and the two of them get into a brawl with Katsuragi trying to stop them.
…But they both lose.
Meanwhile, Kai has caught up with Mugi and he cheers him up. She says that this has nothing to do with him and that she can’t understand why she’s there. Kai tells her that of course he’s involved, and that maybe they’re there to look at the stars. They walk back, with Kai’s hand around Mugi’s wrist.
Katsuragi: “Ahhh, youth.”
IMO: YES, FINALLY, Mugi and Kai are having moments together. Was a bit abrupt though. And, honestly, Kai is a pretty “so and so” character who won’t move until his sister pushes him to do something. I think it was pretty sweet of him to cheer Mugi up that way though, but his “we’re here to look at the stars” reason was dumb and cheezy. XD
Catfight between Nono and Risaki was interesting.
It’s also quite funny about how it’s turning out that Katsuragi is the baby-sitter of the group, as he seems to watch over everyone and is the most mature. And he’s clearly into Nono, even telling the whole group when they got back that “Nono rejected his date invitation”, but Nono doesn’t seem to have any interest in him whatsoever.
