Shun gets a letter from a younger girl at school. After opening it, he realizes that it's a love letter and is about to immediately reject her when his friends stop him. Instead, they convince him to write a letter back. But since he has never really written a letter, let alone a response to a love letter, he agonizes over what to write. So he asks Hayate, Takayuki, and Souma for advice, but none of them are particularly helpful...

It's raining. Hayate forgot his newly purchased plastic umbrella at the bookstore. Luckily, Souma runs into him and they both go back to the bookstore to look for it. Once there, Hayate bumps into Takayuki and they realize that they both like the same author. But being too excited about the conversation, Hayate forgets his original mission and leaves without the umbrella. When he rushes back in from the outside, a certain person hands him his umbrella, but for some reason, he's also carrying a shoe horn...

Popular author Motoharu is not at all bothered when he makes a blunder. When he's at a meeting to discuss the promotion for the upcoming movie adaptation of one of his novels, he meets Takayuki, his friend from grade school. Later, this brings back old, pleasant memories... To Motoharu, who always had the dream of becoming an author, Takayuki is an unforgettable friend who unwittingly gave him a push he needed back then.

Souma invites Motoharu to go to the summer festival with Hayate, Shun, and Takayuki. After meeting Takayuki again, Motoharu also got to meet all the others. Having a natural talent for communicating, he's become friendly with all of them, except for Hayate. Hayate is always nervous, leaving Motoharu a little sad that they are not making progress. Therefore, Motoharu takes this opportunity to put a new idea to the test...

Souma has liked making things since he was little, so a friend asked him to design the cover for her self-produced CD. Despite having sent off images of the design to her, not hearing back from her for quite a long time makes his confidence tank. But then she finally gets back to him...
