6

Kyotaro's homeroom teacher asks him to deliver the farewell speech for this year's graduates and represent his class. He expresses reluctance, stating that he isn't a suitable fit for the role, but his classmates say otherwise. They point out that he holds the second-highest exam results, and Yamada's expectant look adds to the pressure. Under pressure, he tentatively agrees to act as the class representative for the rehearsal. Throughout the rehearsal, Kyotaro is extremely timid, speaking in a low tone and rushing through his speech. Embarrassed by his performance, Kyotaro believes he won't be selected after all for the real presentation. However, Yamada decides she wants him to present and even gives him voice lessons to improve his public speaking. Motivated by the help he received, he decides that he will deliver a performance that will impress Yamada. With a new haircut and hours of practice, Kyotaro gets himself as ready as possible for the graduation speech. Yamada and her friends help him prepare before the event and style his hair further. Right before the ceremony begins, Kyotaro realizes that he lost his speech and panics. Yamada notices he is worried so she encourages him and says that everything will work out. The ceremony begins and Kyotaro gets up for his speech, he draws up confidence and decides to give it his best shot. While he did not have a speech on hand, he manages to overcome his fear and delivers a good speech on the spot. Kyotaro's speech has a resounding impact on the audience and they applaud him. After his speech, his exhaustion and nerves finally catch up and he is sent to the school nurse to recover. At the nurse's office, Yamada is approached by Haruya who confesses that he likes her. Yamada understands his feelings, but she tells him that she likes someone else. Understanding the implication, Kyotaro realizes that it is him that she likes. (Source: Wikipedia)
