Aired on December 23, 2009

Kurumi advises Sawako to speak with Ryuu to gain clarity, though Sawako misunderstands the intent to separate her from Kazehaya. During a softball game, Sawako’s attention remains fixed on Kazehaya, angering Kurumi, who feels possessive and departs. Kurumi then executes a scheme by leaving a note for Ryuu to meet Sawako in the sports equipment room, a location Kazehaya must visit later. Sawako goes to thank Ryuu, where she asks about love, prompting him to confess his feelings for Chizuru. Meanwhile, Kazehaya arrives with equipment.
