It's the last sports festival of middle school. Kotarou gets put in the relay race. He becomes friends with one of Akane's friends who bandages his scraped hand.

Chinatsu invites Akane, Kotarou and Hira to Tokyo Dome City amusement park. She makes a last-ditch effort.

Akane decides to apply to a school in Chiba that her parents and Takumi recommended. She meets with Kotaro, who says he will try to apply to the same one and that, regardless, they will be together. The track club later goes to Kotaro’s festival.

Kotaro learns that he was not accepted into Akane’s school, saddening them. Daisuke suggests Kotaro use it in his writing, while Ayane suggests Akane should break up with him rather than do long-distance.
