Stay Away From Him
Chapter 7
On a school trip to ski, Aoko accidentally runs into Kaito yet another time that day, to his annoyance. Akako observes from a distance, planning to try again to make Kaito hers. The supervising teacher interrupts them with the announcement of a costumed skiing contest for opposite gender couples with a prize for the best pair. Aoko assumes that Kaito would insultingly refuse a request to ski together. At the same time, Akako snags Aoko for a private chat about Kaito. Aoko denies any romantic feelings, blushing, only for Akako to declare that she does like Kaito, and will be pursuing him. She lays a bet with Aoko that if Kaito chooses to ski with Akako for the contest, Aoko will stay away from Kaito in the future. Aoko is surprised that someone as popular as Akako likes Kaito, but Akako refuses to say why she has the crush.
After Akako skis gracefully away, Aoko privately wishes she could ski that well, to be able to match Kaito. Another classmate, Fujie, falls in the snow near her as he tries to catch up with Akako, whom he likes. Fujie has the same feelings of inadequacy about Akako and his abilities, and Aoko offers to pair with him in the contest — bad skiers sticking together.
As Kaito takes another run down the slopes, Akako overtakes him and sneaks a small heart patch on the back of his jacket as she passes by. When he catches up at the bottom, Akako attempts to flirt with him, only be interrupted by Aoko once more falling nearby. Kaito comments that Aoko's just as bad as before, and, to her shock, offers to let her team up with him. Akako interrupts that Aoko already asked Fujie, and drags Kaito off with her to the ski lift. Kaito rides the lift with bad grace, answering all of Akako's attempts at conversation with curt grumpiness, until she loses her patience with subtle and convinces Kaito to pair up with her mostly out of exasperation. She assumes that the patch is working, since the patch is supposed to guarantee that the wearer will be attached to Akako, first as a partner and eventually as a servant.
Later, Kaito warms up alone in the mixed-gender baths, only for Aoko and three classmates to show up unexpectedly. He manages a disguise as a girl amidst the steam to avoid being subject to their wrath, and watches from a distance as the girls discuss the contest. Aoko admits that she gave up on pairing with Kaito because he hates looking bad, and she didn't want to embarrass him -- she wanted to give him the chance to look good. Her classmates argue that it's not fine for her to give up like that, and Kaito nearly gives himself away as a guy in his hurry to agree.
As the contest time approaches, Kaito discovers Fujie dressed as Kaitou Kid, waiting for Aoko to arrive in an Inspector Nakamori costume. Another classmate comments on the heart patch on Kaito's jacket. When Kaito blames Akako, Fujie perks up at her name and admits that he likes Akako a lot.

Kaito and Aoko argue as they play a console RPG and keep dying in battle until Aoko gets so frustrated she unplugs the whole game. The TV turns back on with an urgent news bulletin — Prime Minister Uemoto was kidnapped by Kaitou Kid from an international conference. Nakamori also appears on the TV, berating Kid for stooping so low as to steal a person. The next day, gossip runs rampant at school as to Kid's motives, but Kaito's only concern is who could be so skilled that they managed to impersonate Kid successfully.
On the way home from school with Aoko, Kaito notices a busking street magician in the train station.
