Summary
Before the start of the festival, the Nakano Quintuplets are forced to finish their homework by Fuutarou; surprisingly, they finished without many complaints. Fuutarou learns from Miku that they would always go and watch the fireworks together even after their mother's death because it reminds them of their time together as a family. After trying to pass through a large crowd, the group gets separated from each other.

Story Impact

 * Watching fireworks together is a tradition for the Nakano Quintuplets and their mother. The event is an important memory for them.

 * A stall owner praises Ichika for her cuteness, but he doesn't praise the nearby Itsuki.

Trivia

 * Negi's Shoe Panel:
 * page 1: walking slowly
 * Nakano Quintuplets Formation:
 * page 13: Nino, Miku, Itsuki, Yotsuba, Ichika
 * Itsuki is the first Nakano Quintuplet to have a (slight) change of hairstyle. She is also the first one that Fuutarou properly guesses wrong after a change in appearance; the incident with Nino in Chapter 5 is an abrupt circumstance.
 * Time-related Notes/Confusions:
 * The fireworks happen from 17:00-18:00 and the group arrived an hour early to tour the food stalls; thus, they finished their homework about two hours before the fireworks after they met each other.
