You should include the swimming pool event which occurs in volume 4.5 in the relationship history for Ayanokōji and Karuizawa.

I believe this is the starting point of the romantic part of their relationship. Although they officially see each other as pawn/shield at that time, they are enjoying splashing in the swimming pool together, which is a two-people, private situation.

Moreover Ayanokōji gets positive emotional feedback from her happiness.

The significance of this event led to the controversy regarding the anime, in which this event was pulled ahead of the cruise and transferred to Horikita.
