In this episode, the setting is the Junior High closing sports festival, an important event for the characters. Kyoutarou reflects on the development of his relationship with Anna, comparing his current situation to last year's sports festival. He and Anna have grown closer and resemble a couple, even if they are not officially labeled as such.
During the festival, Kyoutarou's friend Adachi, who harbors feelings for Yamada, challenges Kyoutarou to a mock cavalry battle, driven by his unrequited affection. Kyoutarou takes the competition seriously and aims to win, even though he knows the outcome won’t change Anna’s feelings for him.
A chance encounter with Anna, involving a race to her apartment, leads to an intimate yet awkward moment centered around an abdominal exercise. This is followed by a cheerful exchange about Tamagoyaki preferences, which accidentally results in a misunderstanding that sounds like a confession from Kyoutarou.
In preparation for the duel, Anna’s friends playfully decorate her face with hearts as their way of wishing Kyoutarou luck. Amidst the various events and with the involvement of Anna’s parents, rain begins to fall, creating a dramatic backdrop for the anticipated cavalry battle.
The competition itself goes beyond physical confrontation and escalates into a verbal clash between Kyoutarou and Adachi. Adachi openly admits his feelings for Anna but also expresses his appreciation for Kyoutarou’s friendship. The exchange reveals the complexity of their relationship, culminating in Adachi’s victory in the battle—but also in a touching moment for Kyoutarou when Anna shows concern for him.
The episode concludes in the nurse’s office, a place of earlier significant moments, where Anna presents Kyoutarou with a homemade lunch, symbolizing her affection. Their shared meal and Anna’s compliment to Kyoutarou suggest their relationship has deepened and may soon become official.
