Summary
Ikki is currently participating in the inquiry held by the Ethics Committee of the Japanese Branch, with Mamoru Akaza overlooking the inquiry. Ikki is asked by the Ethics Committee multiple questions about his relationship with Stella. These examiners however purposely push Ikki, trying to infuriate him. Ikki realizes that Akaza and the other examiners, don't actually want to hold a fair questioning for Ikki, but are trying to gather evidence against him, by intentionally infuriating him. Ikki however, refuses fall under their pressuring.

Stella, who is in school, where the rumor about her relationship with Ikki is spreading. Nagi Arisuin and Kagami Kusakabe come to meet Stella, trying to comfort her. They discuss about the situation, and how the Ethics Committee is trying to spread the scandal as much as they can. Stella wonders why Ikki's father is allowing something like this to happen to his son. Shizuku, who has just arrived to the table, tells Stella that that's just what their father is like, saying that his thoughts are beyond her understanding. Stella gets frustrated by the situation, even saying that maybe she should stop her relationship with Ikki. This however, infuriates Shizuku, who even attacks Stella. Shizuku claims that Stella should absolutely not stop her relationship, as Ikki is enduring the inquiry precisely for the relationship.

Kurono Shinguuji then comes, and asks Stella to come with her. Kurono asks Stella about the reaction of her parents, to the scandal. Stella explains that her mother is understanding of Stella's situation, but her father is extremely angry, with him even coming to Japan in three weeks. Kurono the explains that she intends on making Ikki meet with Stella's father, as if Stella's father approves of Ikki, the Ethics Committee can't spread the scandal anymore. Stella is surprised by how serious Kurono is about the situation, with Kurono saying that she won't forgive someone who has entangled with her students.
