In Episode 12, the decisive speech battles between the campaigns of Alya and Masachika, as well as Yuki and Ayano, take place during the closing ceremony. Yuki, confident after securing her brother Masachika's firm commitment to the race, wins the draw and decides to speak first. She delivers a powerful and convincing speech, highlighting her experience and promising significant benefits to the students. With Ayano's competent support and a touch of humor, her speech is met with standing ovations, and many students are convinced the election is decided.

Alya refuses to be discouraged and takes the stage next. Following Masachika's strategic advice, she begins her speech in Russian to capture the audience's attention. When she switches to Japanese, she speaks earnestly and authentically, admitting she doesn't have all the answers and expressing her sincere desire to grow with the help of her classmates. This vulnerability resonates well with the students, who respond with enthusiastic applause.

Masachika humorously praises Yuki's past achievements and emphasizes that an ideal student council president is someone who brings everyone together. To boost their appeal, he introduces his former opponents, Nonoa and Sayaka, and announces that they will join the student council if Alya and he win. This surprising move strengthens their campaign and showcases a spirit of cooperation.

Yuki acknowledges the strength of her opponents and admits to Ayano that, in this case, they cannot surpass the performance of Alya and Masachika. After the battle of speeches tips in favor of Alya and Masachika, attention turns to the results of the final exams. Alya tops the class, while Masachika lands in 33rd place, allowing Alya to win her personal bet. Masachika seizes the moment and suggests that Alya call him by his first name, which she accepts with a mix of joy and shyness.

At the end of the episode, Masachika proposes meeting again during the summer break to prepare for the upcoming elections. Alya enthusiastically agrees.
