Realizing he broke another pen, Ena gave him a new one. Shinya Yukimura then gave him the papers of his presentation. Ikeda was expecting the see the progress of his polynomial time reduction, but was shocked to see it was about the love experiment they had with Ayame Himuro. Ikeda commented he knew they were close, but not in a relationship. Ayame told him they are not in a relationship and are doing this to collect data on what is love. Ikeda ended up liking the project and was interested in it, and suggested they would need more data from other people too. Shinya then tried persuading all to join his project and ended up in an argument with Ayame. Seeing this Ikeda got really mad and intimidating telling all to calm down as this was a place of logic and learning. He told Shinya that he can't force people into his project, but will do it with all that are interested.
