A mix of a few interesting and funny chapters, but nothing too significant. I really do like Sosuke's unique abilities in dealing with people though.

The book comes with a foldout page featuring Kaname.

15. 疑惑、困惑、球技大会は大迷惑！？ (Suspicion, Confusion, The Ball Game Festival Is a Big Mess!?): A note has been left stating that the author, a student, will commit suicide if the ball game festival is to proceed. Kaname and Sosuke investigate and find out it's the co-captain of the basketball team who has become worried that Kaname's skill will surpass hers. Sosuke, using his own techniques, convinces Mizuki not to commit suicide and the games goes on.

16. ナゾ？謎？転校生は何者ナンゾ！？ (A PUZZLE, A Puzzle, Who Is This Exchange Student!?): There's a new person who's going to be sitting Kaname and Sosuke's class named Teresa. Whiel Kaname doesn't know it, she's actually Sosuke's colonel, the girl who had the same reaction when Kaname was being interrogated in Korea. As a boss, Sosuke has started paying more attention to her rather than Kaname. With some stalking, Kaname sees the two of them walking into his apartment late at night.

17. ふたりはひとつ屋根の下！？ (The Two Are Under One Roof!?): Feeling a bit bummed, Kaname runs off into the equipment room at the gym to blow off some steam. She falls asleep and wakes up with the doors locked. After some loud banging, Teresa and Sosuke come to her aid. At this time, Teresa finally explains to Kaname that she's part of the Mythryl organization and has the same characteristics as Kaname in that she also has some hidden knowledge in her brain. The week that Teresa has been here investigating Kaname is now over.

18. ミラクルアニマル大作戦！！ (The Miracle Animal Big Plan): Kaname and Sosuke go to the zoo alone (because her other friends couldn't go). Kaname finds out late in the day that it's the deadline to turn in money for the summer trip. They rush out of the zoo, followed by a group of monkeys and make it just in time.

19. バカンスはロマンス！？ (Vacation is Romance!?): At the beach, Kaname is picked up by a servant to a really rich little boy. Sosuke comes to her rescue, but she purposely tells her new admirer that he's a stalker so bodyguards are dispatched after him. Sosuke manages to defeat each one and rescues Kaname, who despite causing all the trouble, feels happy that he always comes for her.

19. 幽霊なんて怖くない！無人島ドキドキ探索隊！！ (I'm Not Afraid of Ghosts! The Nervous Search Party on No-Man's Island): That night, they see a twinkle of light from the supposedly haunted island a bit off shore. Sosuke and Kaname go investigate and find that it's just a practical joke.
