I Want to Make Udon After We Hang Out!
Sakaki shows pictures of Hana and Shinichi napping together on campus to Ami. The four of them then go clothes shopping, and Hana shares with Ami that she has been going swimming with Shinichi, who complimented her on her bathing suit. Later, they play futsal and meet acquaintances of Sakaki, who challenge him to a game. On another day, Hana daydreams she is Shinichi's upperclassman while they head to her house. After Tsuki taught Shinichi how to make udon, he became good at it but Hana gives him harsh criticism. While Shinichi practices properly cutting the noodles, Tsuki still misinterprets his motivations, and a conversation with Hana only makes the misunderstanding worse. That evening, Hana's younger brother, Kiri, eagerly eats the udon prepared by Hana's senpai, who he erroneously believes is a woman.
