Ep. 25: Hinata reflects on his past while Misaki navigates festival plans and conflicting romantic signals.

Hinata recalls his middle school popularity but remains focused on Misaki. Sakura invites Misaki, Shizuko, and Takumi to the Yumesaki Culture Festival for a UxMishi concert, claiming Kuuga has improved. At Maid Latte, fortune teller Erika tells Hinata his bond with Misaki is flat and Takumi’s is incompatible. Takumi becomes depressed by this, prompting Misaki to question if he will quit over a prediction, which makes her blush. Hinata witnesses this and feels irritated. The following day, Hinata helps Misaki clean, accidentally soaking them. Takumi covers her wet clothes with his shirt and escorts her to change. Hinata cries upon realizing Misaki might love another. At the festival, Misaki and Takumi get separated from Sakura and Shizuko among the fans, leading Takumi to suggest they enjoy the event together.
