Summary

Fuutarou once again attempts to tutor the sisters, only to be interrupted by Nino. Fuutarou then goes home only to return shortly thereafter because he forgets his wallet and sees Nino half-naked with only a towel. Seeing books about to fall onto Nino, Fuutarou tries to save her and accidentally falls on top of her. Itsuki happens to see this scene and takes a photo.
