In Episode 3, Nasa finds himself in an unexpected role as a love advisor. A teenage girl asks him for advice on how to win over her crush. Although Nasa's own love story is unconventional, his straightforward approach to love is highly appreciated.
Throughout the episode, an intense scene unfolds where Ginga comes to the aid of Kurenai's reserved friend. This act leaves a strong impression on Shirogane, causing her to develop feelings for Ginga. However, a misunderstanding occurs when she accidentally sends a confession meant for Ginga to Nasa, putting Nasa in an awkward situation with Tsukasa.
As the story progresses, the viewer is introduced to two contrasting perspectives on love. Nasa, who believes in direct communication, advises openly expressing one's feelings. Tsukasa, on the other hand, suggests gathering more information about the person in question, though her methods—which border on stalking—are questionable. This difference in their views becomes evident in a bathhouse scene where Tsukasa warns Ginga about stalkers, even though her advice may have influenced such behavior.
Throughout the episode, the interactions between Ginga and Aya provide comedic relief. Their playful banter and shared moments, such as enjoying crêpes together, hint at a budding relationship. Yet, Ginga seems to attract attention, as he is confronted in an alley by two individuals—one of whom he punches—while Shirogane attempts to confess her feelings.
Amid these events, Tsukasa experiences feelings of loneliness and jealousy, missing the exclusive attention she once received from Nasa. A heartfelt moment occurs when she waits for him outside his school, leading to a lighthearted, flirtatious exchange.
A key scene takes place toward the end of the episode in a bamboo grove, reminiscent of the legendary tale of Kaguya from The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter. Tsukasa and Kaguya have a brief encounter, and Kaguya's cryptic remark suggests she knows something important about Tsukasa's past.
