Susanna advises Ogiue to show the rest of the club her own artwork involving Madarame to help Hato get over her embarrassment.

That is until the day he was attacked by a Witch of the Tower and learned that Kagari Ayaka, the most popular girl in school, is secretly his personal bodyguard and a witch herself.

… six months pass with nothing happening.
