Episode 9 Story

It’s the day of the autumn festival. After growing closer to the members of Arthur’s fan club during the sports festival, Marie hopes to watch the fireworks with them as friends. With Noah’s help, she puts her plan into action—but nearly every attempt backfires.

In the end, she takes the blame for a broken vase so that everyone in her class can enjoy the fireworks, but Noah steps in to expose the real culprit and takes Marie up to the rooftop.

When Marie gathers her courage to speak, the fan club members respond, “We can’t be your friends... but we’ll be your rivals!” and they finally bond in their own way.

That night, Arthur happens to find an old newspaper article Marie dropped—containing irrefutable proof that she is, in fact, human.
