In this episode, Uka Ishimori bravely takes on the role of a committee member for the upcoming school festival. Despite initial doubts from her classmates about whether she is up to the task, she decides to lead the project of a maid café. With the support of Kai Miura, who encourages her to persevere, Uka develops a detailed plan and gains the approval of the student council. Her determination impresses her class, and she slowly begins to feel like part of the community.

During the preparations, Uka faces challenges, such as the skepticism of some classmates and the question of whether she is truly capable of managing the café successfully. Yet, with the help of her friends—especially Tao, Moka, and Nagano—she manages to overcome the doubts and move the project forward. Uka learns to rely on others and experiences the feeling of belonging for the first time.

At the same time, the dynamic between Uka and Kai develops further. Uka reflects on her relationship with him and realizes that she wants to be more than just his "protégée." She decides to actively reach out to him and have more conversations, even though she knows her time as his "project" may be limited.

The festival begins, and the maid café becomes a success. Uka overcomes her insecurities and even wears a maid costume to support the team. During the festival, she is confronted with rumors about her relationship with Kai, which makes her reflect on her feelings and her future. Despite the challenges, Uka remains determined to achieve her goals—both for the café and her personal growth.

The episode ends with a glimpse of Uka's growing independence and her desire to build a deeper connection with Kai while also learning to forge her own path.
