Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian

Masachika tries to capitalize on their victory in the congress, but Alya has some conflicting thoughts about benefitting from Taniyama being ridiculed. A confiscated book leads to some shenanigans among the student council members.

Masachika is having trouble studying for exams until Alya decides to wager a favor on how well he does. When Alya discovers she wasn't invited to celebrate Masachika's birthday, she spends several days questioning just how close they actually are.

The unexpected encounter at the parent-teacher meetings leaves Masachika weakened and sick, and more importantly, unaware of what's happening at school.
