Episode 4: The Tokyo U. Promise from 15 Years Ago: Diary

Synopsis

Keitaro gets caught for lying about being a student at Tokyo U., but Naru covers for him by saying that if he gets in, he would be lying. However, in order to stay, they still make him do his manager duties as well as study for the entrance exam. When he's studying with Naru, she asks him why he's so insistent on Tokyo U. He tells her it's because of a promise. As he is fixing the hole in Naru's floor/his ceiling, he gets a glance at her diary and gets the idea that Naru could be that girl from his past.

Afterwards, she completely ignores him. After the prep exam, Naru did well, but Keitaro thinks he bombed, so he decides to run away. However, all his stuff is still in the building, so he sneaks in and gets his stuff. Naru realizes Keitaro is the person in the burglar outfit. At first, Naru thinks it's best for him to run away, but Haruka makes her remember her situation. So they go look for him, and Naru finds him at Tokyo U. Keitaro now is certain she's the girl from his past.

Back home, Keitaro finds out he made the cutoff for the prep exam.
