Light Novel Volume 7.5/Summary

Below is the long summary of volume 7.5 of the You-Zitsu light novel series.

Prologue
Ayanokōji wonders if he’ll experience love, before his date with Satou.

Chapter 1
23rd of December. Karuizawa notes her change, in that she is no longer bound down by her past. She then starts thinking about Ayanokōji, then she realises she has fallen in love.

While thinking about Ayanokōji, she gets a message from Satou saying to meet her at 11:00 and thanking her.

She heads to Keyaki Mall and greets Satou. Satou offers to buy her breakfast and announces that she’ll be going on a date with Ayanokōji. After hearing this, Karuizawa tries to recommend other guys to date.

Satou’s intention, with the consultation, was how to go about the date since Karuizawa became the girlfriend of the most popular guy. This causes Karuizawa to go into a spiral thinking about the benefits of ‘dating’ Hirata and if she should continue to ‘date’ him.

After some silence from Karuizawa, Satou shows her the plan for the date:

Meet at 12 - Lunch - Movie - Shopping - Confession at Legendary Tree - Present

While Karuizawa wonders if confessing on the first date isn’t too early, they talk about the Legendary Tree, which has a 99% success rate if confessed under after 5:00 PM with no one around. Karuizawa then asks why Satou fell in love with Ayanokōji. She pretty much says because he’s cool and mature.

On the way back Satou weirdly invites her and Hirata on a double date. She also adds the condition that they have to ‘randomly’ meet. Karuizawa accepts.

Back at the dorm, Karuizawa wants to call Ayanokōji, to ask if he would rather use Satou than her (she was getting fond of being used) but isn’t able to call. Suddenly he calls her though. After being questioned by Karuizawa, Ayanokōji asks her to investigate Satou’s hobbies, etc. and mail it to him.
