Kiyori finally realizes Ushio and Sumika are
dating and wonders if she's been a cuntblocker
because she always blurts out something stupid.
Ushio's all "noo we love you np np hugs" and
then in a surprise offsenive Kiyori asks if Ushio
and Sumika have kissed yet, Ushio tries to evade
but Tomoe strikes from behind: "Not yet, right?" AND SCOOOORRES!
The truth of the matter spreads like wildfire through
the school just as Sumika is agonizing over her
graduation speech. When Sumika gets to the ceremony
hall everyone's whispering and giggling and someone
fills Sumika in on what's happening. Sumika gets all
nervous thinking about the whole debacle and her
relationship with Ushio, but ultimately gathers
herself and decides to basically dedicate the speech
to Ushio because of how important Ushio is to Sumika's life.
