Honey Lemon Soda Episode 4 picks up from episode 3’s cliffhanger, with the students lost in the mountains due to misleading signs. Though most remain calm, some panic and blame Ishimori. Determined to help, she ventures out alone, and Kai follows, stopping her from blaming herself.

They soon find the correct path, resolving the situation, but a sudden downpour forces them to take shelter. Later, Ishimori distributes supplies from her rucksack, revealing she has been carrying essentials for everyone. The students return safely.

The next day, classmates apologize and thank Ishimori with sweets. Their talk shifts to graduation photos, prompting everyone to bring their yearbooks. Overthinking her past, Ishimori runs off, but Kai reassures her, encouraging her to embrace her history. Gaining confidence, she decides to bring her yearbook.

On her way, Tomoya stops her and introduces a girl who confesses to switching the signs out of jealousy over Ishimori’s closeness to Kai. After she leaves, Tomoya questions whether Ishimori is truly changing or repeating old patterns, warning that growing close to Kai may attract new animosity.

The conversation remains unresolved as Ishimori learns Kai once had a love interest, creating distance between them. The next day, trip photos reveal that Kai only smiles around Ishimori. Ayumi supports her feelings, while Tomoya quietly observes Kai.
