Kōsaku considers leaving, but has second thoughts when he meets Ibari's four children: Tsugumi, Tsubame, Hibari and Suzume. Although he initially believes Ibari to have four daughters, Kōsaku is shocked to learn that Hibari, who looks and behaves as a girl, was assigned male at birth. The next day, Kōsaku enrolls into the same school as Hibari and Tsubame, and Kōsaku learns that everyone at school believes Hibari is a girl.
