I don't know who to cheer for, Haruna or Suzu. I'd probably say Haruna right now as she's better at cooking. However, Suzu in her adult form wouldn't be a bad choice either. In the author's letter, he says that this series is planned for 5 volumes. These volumes are rather short, so I would like it to go a bit longer as I've come to like this series.

Bonus includes two bonus chapters and the cover under the dust jacket contain a couple more panels of comics.

13. ２人きりの夜 (Two of Us Alone at Night): Itsuki's dad and Rin have to go attend a service so Suzu and Itsuki are left alone for the night. After failing again at cooking, Suzu is taking a bath. As she's coming out, she sees a mouse running around so she runs into Itsuki's room. She gives him a kiss and turns into her adult self. However, just as things are getting romantic, an evil spirit comes in and ruins the situation.

14. 文化祭と春奈の夢 (The Cultural Festival and Haruna's Dream): It's the for the cultural festival at school and Itsuki's class decides to do a cosplay cafe. Haruna remembers how she's always wanted to dance with Itsuki at the bonfire after the festival, but never had the courage to ask. This time though, she gathers her courage and asks. Itsuki accepts, but during the dance, they trip over each other's feet and Itsuki lands on top of her. Chihaya and Suzu aren't too happy.

15. 聖なる夜に小さな奇跡を (A Small Miracle on a Holy Night): On Christmas Eve and Suzu wakes up feeling sad. She's sharing her feelings with a deceased girl, 美沙 (Misa), who had promised her former boyfriend to meet her underneath a Christmas Tree tonight. Suzu and Itsuki help her by going to the promised location and the boy and the spirit have their reunion before Misa disappears into the night sky.

16. 星空の下で (Underneath a Starry Sky): The family is on vacation at a hot springs and Itsuki and Suzu accidentally go in the springs not knowing that it's mixed bathing. They enjoy the night sky in the warm water and Suzu tells him that she loves him. However, Rin catches the two together.

17. それぞれの想い（前編） (Various Feelings, First Part): Haruna accidentally sees Itsuki on the roof giving a kiss to Suzu (since she's fighting an evil spirit, but Haruna doesn't know anything about that). She falls down the stairs and twists her ankle. Itsuki hears the crash and carries her to the nurses office. In the nurses office, Itsuki tells Haruna that the kiss was an accident. Haruna feels a little less worried as he hasn't committed yet, so she takes the opportunity to tell him that she loves him. Suzu is outside and overhears their chat.

18. それぞれの想い （後編） (Various Feelings, Last Part): At home that night, Suzu feels like she's been rejected, but Itsuki tells her that she didn't listen to his answer to Haruna's confession. Itsuki isn't ready to make a decision yet, but when he does, Suzu will be the first to know. So, Haruna and Suzu are still competing for the same guy.
