Episode Title:
Boy Meets Boy.
Episode Description:
Ichika acts dense when Houki is allowed the chance to have her own room. As she leaves in anger, she makes him promise to go out with her should she win the next tournament, which then spreads into a rumor that the winner of the tournament would score a date with Ichika. At the same time, Charles Dunois, a supposedly male IS pilot from France, arrives and becomes Ichika's new roommate. During a training session, Chifuyu has Cecilia and Lingyin battle against Maya in the Rafale Revive Basic, though Cecilia and Lingyin are easily defeated despite them piloting the more advanced models. During lunch, as the girls share their food with Ichika, he declares that Houki's food tastes the best, much to the dismay of Cecilia and Lingyin. The next day, the entire class gets taken aback when Laura Bodewig, who is a transfer student from Germany and an acquaintance of Chifuyu, arrives. Laura immediately walks up to Ichika and slaps him hard, saying that she is unable to accept him as Chifuyu's brother.
