Chapter 5 - Tabuchi-san's Secret

Synopsis
The chapter begins with Oota messing with Kashiwada in different ways like normal, but Oota is then approached by Tabuchi. She tells Oota to stop bothering Kashiwada, as apparently it makes her sad. Sada agrees that Oota should maybe tone it down a little, after which Tadokoro thinks about Tabuchi's personality. Oota later ends up running into Kashiwada and scares her, but Tabuchi catches him doing so. Oota, Sada and Tadokoro then notice that Tabuchi isn't following Oota around to make sure; she's watching Kashiwada. Oota then approaches her about it and Tabuchi admits that she is Kashiwada's fan.

She tells Oota off for bothering Kashiwada as it gets in the way of her watching Kashiwada. Kashiwada overhears this and asks Tabuchi to become her friend. Tabuchi then becomes extremely excited and Kashiwada says Oota is not her friend with a very red face, implying he is something more. Both Tabuchi and Oota misunderstand this and Sada and Tadokoro come to the conclusion that Oota and Tabuchi are very similar.
