In this episode, the focus is on Ruka Sarashina's birthday. The scene begins with Kazuya recalling his promise from the previous episode, where he agreed to fulfill any birthday wish for Ruka. Although Ruka has displayed impulsive behavior in the past, she appears reserved when it comes to her birthday wish.

Ruka's greatest wish is to spend time with Kazuya at the pool. Her motivation for this choice becomes clear when she reveals her brand-new bikini, which she is eager to show Kazuya. The episode subtly hints that Ruka intends to seduce Kazuya but remains ambiguous about whether she has ever worn a swimsuit in front of him before. Amidst the pool setting, she persuades Kazuya to apply sunscreen to her back and legs, creating an atmosphere filled with tension and discomfort. Despite his obvious unease, Kazuya manages to complete the task.

As the episode progresses, the viewer expects a grand gesture or gift from Kazuya for Ruka's birthday. However, it turns out that Kazuya arrived empty-handed. Instead of demanding material gifts or physical affection, Ruka expresses her desire to address Kazuya by his first name without any honorifics—a significant milestone in their relationship within Japanese culture.
