Mio realizes how she truly feels about jousting and decides to participate in the summer tournament! Celia, the student council president, invites Mio to have tea with her so she can see how Mio really feels about jousting. After having her entry accepted, Mio goes to visit Noel's house with Takahiro. They meet Noel's younger sister who is confined to a wheelchair, Mireille. Takahiro and Mio learn about why Noel really wants to participate in the summer tournament...

The girls go to Bertille's summer home to go and train for the upcoming summer tournament. This house even has a outdoor bath, but the girls work hard, sometimes having fun along the way. Takahiro and Ayako are there as support to help out. Takahiro learns why Noel wishes to fight one night, and also learns more about himself. Mio runs into Takahiro in the bath during his reflection. The girls show up looking for Mio and high jinks ensue.

It's finally the day of the summer tournament. Takahiro, who is participating as a begleiter, tries to convey his intentions to everyone, but an emergency suddenly takes him away from the action.

As the tournament reaches its climax, Akane and Celia face off on the quarterfinal stage. The Akane who couldn't even talk to her admired senpai before is nowhere to be found, and both fight with all their strength. Then, as the semifinals are about to begin, Noel's father arrives at the academy...

Noel and Celia face off as Takahiro watches. Noel's feelings toward the younger sister she fought so hard for bring about a miracle, and as Takahiro looks on, he once again realizes the path he must take.
