After school, Nishikata takes Takagi to some outdoor steps. When they finally reach the top, he is shocked when she mentions a legend that states boys and girls who climb the steps together will become a couple. While Hamaguchi and Hojo are climbing the steps, Hojo wonders if Hamaguchi is going to mention the legend. However, when he claims the view has really fresh air, she tries to bring it up herself, much to their embarrassment. Mano is excited to climb the steps with Nakai. However, she becomes concerned about how casual he is acting. When she wants to write their names in the notebook, he reveals he already did so during his last visit. Yukari thinks Mina and Sanae took her to the steps so they can have a meaningful conversation about romance. However, she is disappointed when she realizes they do not know about the legend. Nishikata and Takagi head to the bookstore where they exchange a couple of DVDs they rented. After they part ways, Nishikata realizes later on that Takagi knew he wanted to see the upcoming 100% Unrequited Love movie. (Source: Wikipedia)
