Ep. 6: Nishikata and Takagi navigate culture festival rehearsals, a haunted house, and a dramatic play performance.

6

During class preparations for the play, Takagi appears in a princess costume, surprising Nishikata. He invites her to the rooftop for rehearsal but panics upon realizing he forgot to mention the lines. Takagi teases him before they begin. On culture festival day, Nishikata challenges Takagi to a speed run through a haunted house. Meanwhile, Yukari and Kimura join an eating contest, and Hojo learns Hamaguchi’s class runs a maid café. During the performance, Nishikata plays a dumpling. When Kimura falls ill, Nishikata takes over as the prince. If Takagi trips in the final scene, Nishikata catches her. Realizing his mask fell off, he improvises lines resembling a love confession, delighting Takagi and earning a standing ovation. Later, at a class karaoke session, Takagi praises his acting and heavily hints at her romantic feelings for him.
