During English class, Nishikata plans to distract Takagi long enough so she cannot answer the teacher when it is her turn to read aloud.

Before doing so, he discovers Takagi hiding in a closet, after which she convinces him to play four rounds of rock-paper-scissors, with the loser cleaning a quarter of the room.

When Nishikata notices a jungle gym, he assumes Takagi will be reluctant to kickover the high bar.

When Takagi goes again, Nishikata, who believes she is cheating, looks and realizes she is wearing shorts underneath her skirt, but concedes defeat as he broke the no-look rule.

After spending the night watching the anime 100% Unrequited Love with the air conditioner on, a sick Nishikata arrives to class late.

After seeing their classmates Mano and Nakai riding a bike together, Takagi suggests doing the same with Nishikata, which he reluctantly agrees.

While walking and eating popsicles, Mina and Sanae tell an annoyed Yukari that she will help them with their assignments due to her being the class president.

At the mall's bookstore, Nishikata purchases the latest volume of 100% Unrequited Love, but encounters Takagi outside, and she makes a bet saying she knows what he bought.

Having lost the bet, Nishikata has to help Takagi select a swimsuit, a task that proves too embarrassing for him.

When he sees Mano and Nakai in the store, he hides in the dressing room until they leave upon greeting Takagi.

Deciding to leave her, the two enjoy their day until they return to find an exhausted Yukari, who had to exhale into the inflatable as the pump broke.

Embracing the typhoon's severe winds, Nishikata role-plays as a wind-controlling character when Takagi overhears him.

Meanwhile, Mina and Yukari consider getting cell phones of their own and ask Sanae if she wants one, but she declines until she reveals she already has one.

During cleanup duty, Nishikata and Takagi talk about their cell phone activities when the former decides to send the latter a scary video.

As they walk to school together, Takagi notices Nishikata has grown, leading to a height comparing contest.

When Nishikata becomes skeptical of Takagi's measurement, she faces him directly before she admits she had been standing on her toes while their backs were turned.

With winter arriving, Mina and Sanae decide to place their cold hands on Yukari's skin to elicit a reaction.

Besides Yukari, Nishikata's friends infer he is dating Takagi when he declines their invitation to play video games.

While seemingly having a conversation about boys, Yukari eventually realizes Mina and Sanae are actually talking about their favorite dog characteristics.

In a flashback to their inaugural day of middle school, Takagi was worried after losing an unknown item when Nishikata arrived to class late.
