** The target of this heist is the film of [[SchoolNewspaperNewsHound Sawatari]]'s camera: to document the school festival's tradition of girls getting a boy's locker's lock and hanging it on the east fence of the roof in the hope to dance with him, Sawatari took a picture of a girl obtaining one such locker on a friend's behalf, and is set to publish it in spite of the misunderstanding it would cause. Upon learning of it being Saint Tail's target, he decides to hide it in his own locker... Only for his fanclub to ''add a dozen locks'', as Sawatari is really popular with girls but has only one lock.
*** After noticing Asuka jr.'s locker is open, he decides to hide the film inside it, as [[CriticalResearchFailure no girl would]] [[TemptingFate want to dance with Asuka jr.]] He can barely hide the film inside that Rina shows up and scares him into accidentally closing the lock, before she complains that now she can't get Asuka jr.'s lock. Sawatari's face is priceless.
*** Later Rina complains in Asuka jr.'s and Meimi's presence, involuntarily telling them where the film is. After Asuka jr. [[ObliviousToLove reveals he's one of two persons in the school who don't know of the lock's tradition]] (the other, Seira, is justified as she's a nun and has no interest in boys), Rina asks him the lock, but he refuses. Meimi gets hopeful, as maybe Asuka jr. is keeping it for her...
