Honoka accepts Aoi's invitation to visit Hanno and watch the fireworks with her, Hinata, Kaede, and Kokona!! Unfortunately, Aoi and Hinata still aren't speaking after a recent fight. Can they make up in time to enjoy the festival?

The girls have a celebratory dinner at the hut, then a good night's sleep before going to see the sunrise on Mt. Tanigawa. Will this mark the end of Aoi and Hinata's promise?

Now climbing instead of just riding up Mt. Tanigawa, the girls keep encountering a mysterious girl with a camera, and Aoi can't help wondering about her.

Hinata's excited to be visiting Mt. Tanigawa with Aoi again. Aoi seems gung-ho herself on the way over, but can she remain so when faced with the dreaded ropeway?

It's the day before the girls will climb Mt. Tanigawa. While Aoi bakes a pound cake to take along, Kokona celebrates her birthday early with a stroll around Hanno in her brand-new hiking shoes.

Aoi is looking forward to her upcoming trip to Mt. Tanigawa... but she promised her mother she'd conquer her mountain of summer homework first, a prospect that looks bleak when she hasn't even touched it yet!

To cover the increasing costs of mountaineering, Aoi takes her first part-time job at a sweets shop run by a friend of the family. Can she overcome her shyness and lack of confidence enough to give the customers a friendly smile?

Aoi wants to climb Mt. Tanigawa, but is worried about handling the required ropeway and ski-lift due to her fear of heights. Hinata suggests they all visit a big nature fun park for a change of pace from mountains. While Aoi has a great time with the girls, could the trip be serving an additional purpose?

Aoi wants to climb Mt. Tanigawa next, but is worried about whether she can handle the ropeway with her fear of heights. She and the other girls gather at Kaede's house for advice, and a few other things.
