Team Ichigo learns the finals theme remains secret until the event day, prompting them to study high school textbooks to counter Team Tennouji’s advanced cakes. Tennouji claims Ichigo cannot catch up in the remaining time, which leads Ichigo to question this statement. Following a discussion with Natsume, Ichigo chooses to focus on fundamental skills due to her lack of experience in this area. Meanwhile, the sweets spirits belonging to Team Ichigo prepare baked goods to encourage and uplift their partners during this intense preparation period.
