The story continued where it left off last time in vol 6. Ichika was shot, but Laura manage to shield him using her IS AIC ability. Laura was there because she stalked him to find some time alone with Ichika. Anyway, Madoka manage to run away by creating a diversion through throwing Laura's own knife to herself.

The scene change to the next day, where Ichika is having dinner with his harem as usual. The other harem beside Ichika is very surprised knowing Ichika get attacked by Silent Zephyr's pilot, but Ichika doesn't tell the other about Madoka's name. Cecilia once again make use of her wound to get Ichika to fed her by ordering a dish that has to be eaten using chopsticks. Of course, the other harem make some noise, and Chifuyu is angry at them. One interesting happened for Chifuyu end shipper, Chifuyu seems worried seeing Ichika always hang out with the same girls(his harem) and Yamada-sensei seems to notice this and make a comment to Chifuyu. Of course Chifuyu indirectly deny this by asking Yamada-sensei to a combat practice(in other word, if she keep mentioning it, Chifuyu gonna beat Yamada-sensei to a pulp during the practice :P)

After dinner, all his harem followed him to his room since they're worried he's going to get attacked again. Harem antics happen as usual, this time Charlotte get the good mood with Ichika. After they leave, this time Sarashiki onee-chan come to the room. Ichika tried to resist her entering his room, but onee-chan just cut through the door using the water blade. Onee-chan teased Ichika first of course, but then she make a request to Ichika in the end, to make a group pair with her imouto, Kanzashi, without telling imouto that it's a request from onee-chan.

Now we're introduced to her imouto Kanzashi, which seems to be a gloomy person. Imouto-san is Japanese representative candidate, but she hasn't got her personal IS since the lab that's supposed to develop imouto-san's personal IS happened to be the same lab that developed Byaku-shiki, which means the reason she hasn't got her personal IS is partly Ichika's fault(according to onee-chan's logic :P). We also found out that onee-chan and imouto-san doesn't get along well, and onee-chan become strangely reserved when talking about her. Ichika cured onee-chan's reservedness by giving a massage. After hearing that Ichika agreed to take her request, she left and Ichika is left with fixing the door.

Scene change to Madoka. Squall scold her for acting on her own by confronting Ichika. We found out that Madoka's real target is not Ichika, but Chifuyu, but when Squall make fun of Chifuyu by saying that Chifuyu is weak since she doesn't have IS currently, Madoka throws her knife to Squall. Squall also told Madoka to try being prudent till the next mission which will be some time later. In the end, we also see that Madoka hate Chifuyu enough to feel pleasant when hurting her face, which is the same as Chifuyu(foreshadowing on their relation IMO).

Scene change to the school again, this time the news club president, Mayazumi Kaoruko-senpai, ask Ichika and Houki to have an exclusive interview and photo shoot session with her older sister who works as a reporter in an IS related magazine. Houki and Ichika reject the request at first, but Houki has a change of mind after Kaoruko-senpai told them that as a reward for the interview, they will get a free dinner ticket at a high-class restaurant, of course a pair dinner at that. Since this is Houki and Ichika's first time to a photo shoot(although Cecilia already showed Ichika her modeling photo wearing a frilly dress), they were a little nervous. Rin butt in and said she'll show her photo when she do a photo shoot(if you read my vol 6's translation, a representative candidate is kinda like an idol, they're usually get asked to become a model or for a photo shoot). Ichika reject at first since he thought Rin will only wear strange clothes at the photo shoot, but Rin force him to look at her photo and he find out that she looks quite nice with a casual clothes. Of course, Rin get too absorbed showing Ichika her photo and doesn't here the bell ringing, which get her a smack from Chifuyu.

Next scene, Ichika get lent to Kendou-club next, and a lot of members come to the club activity even though they usually attend the club activity. Of course, they try to request for an Ichika-massage, but Ichika reject the request. The other club member find out about the pair dinner that Ichika and Houki get and tease Houki about it.

Let's continue where we left off last time just like I promised .

Spoiler for vol 7 chapter 1 summary continued:

We have our heroine trying to invite Ichika to form a pair team with them. First is Charl. She tried to invite indirectly by inviting him for lunch first, but Ichika just bluntly reject her by saying he has prior engagement. Before Charl can press further, the other girl inside the class led by Nohohon-san(anime watcher might remember her as the girl with long sleeve that cover even the palm of her hand) take Charl away for lunch with them instead since she rarely have lunch with other people beside Ichika and his harem group.

Next is Rin. She confront him on his way to class 4 and directly ask him to form a pair with her. Of course he reject it and said he already promised someone else. At first Rin thought the one he's pairing with is Charlotte, and she force Ichika to tell her who is the one he promised to be his tag partner with so she can force Ichika's partner to change partner with her. Of course, Ichika ran away.

Ichika finally reach class 4 and found imouto-san playing with the hologram projector inside the class. It seems the other class member don't like imouto-san since she's been skipping school from the start and they think the reason imouto-san become a representative candidate and personal IS user is only because of her great onee-chan. So Ichika approached her and ask her to be his partner for the match, which she bluntly reject. Before he can persuade her further by saying that everyone else already have partner, Rin arrived and take Ichika to her class instead. It seems she already make a lunch for Ichika. Ichika refuse eating the lunch at first since he already half-eat the yakisoba bread he bought earlier, but Rin force him by eating his half eaten yakisoba bread instead(while aiming for the indirect kiss :P). After finishing the lunch, Rin once again force him to pair up with her. Of course Ichika refuse again, and he run away to his own class before Rin manage to challenge him into a duel to decide if he will pair up with Rin or not.

Back to his class, this time it's Laura's turn to invite him for a pair. Ichika refused her too, and she partially deployed her IS to attack Ichika. Chifuyu stepped in and stop Laura before she make a mess. When Laura said to Chifuyu that this is a husband-wife quarrel, Chifuyu pull the final weapon on Laura by saying that she doesn't want a sister in law that doesn't know manner like Laura. This make Laura dispirited so much that she can't even return to her chair, so Chifuyu tell Ichika to carry Laura back, which he does by princess-embracing Laura, even with cheering from the other girls inside the class.

Next scene is training between Houki and Ichika. Since Houki can activate Kenran Butou at will right now, she has the upper hand against Ichika. The training ends with Houki's win. Houki thought it's decided that Ichika will pair up with her since she won the match against him(even though she hasn't brought up that topic even once). She met with Cecilia in the dressing room, and it turn out Cecilia has the same thought as Houki(that Ichika will pair up with her even though Cecilia never brought up the topic even once). They both think in their heart that they've got the upper hand in the race for Ichika's heart this time.

Later that night, Houki and Cecilia tried to confirm the pairing matter with Ichika in his room, but Ichika also tell them that he already pair up with someone else. They get violent of course and partly deploy their IS to attack Ichika, but suddenly Chifuyu blow up the door of Ichika's room to stop the 2 of them. Of course, she also punish them by having them running laps in their IS form. Of course they can't fly using their IS, and they can't use any help from the IS' assistance program, so everything in manual. She also scold Ichika for always making fuss every time and tell him to decide which girl she want to stop the fuss.

There's also a small part about how Houki and Cecilia look at each other as rival, but that marks the end of chapter 1

Hope you enjoy chapter 1 even though my English is quite disjointed sometimes XD. Hopefully it's still better than a machine translation

The summary ended up longer than expected, so I hope I can make it briefer for chapter 2, probably gonna do it later this night or tomorrow.
