Honoka ends up yelling at Suzuka, because Suzuka refuses to accept Yamato, afraid to get in a relationship.

Eventually, Suzuka runs away, and Yamato comes to the shrine. Honoka, feeling defeated, tells Yamato where Suzuka is. When Yamato gets there, he argues with Suzuka a bit more, eventually forcing a kiss on her. Afterwards she slapped him several times.
