Later, Takagi borrows his eraser, at the same time reminding him of a childish tale that used to be popular, stating how if one writes their crush's name on their eraser and finish using it, the love will be mutual. She pranks Nishikata by pretending that his eraser has a name on it, and after she leaves to go to the toilet, Nishikata takes her eraser from her desk to write a name on it and embarrass her. However, he finds a single letter on it and thinks that it is a name, only for it to say "Look at the hallway", where Takagi is there giggling. Secretly though, Nishikata's name is written on the other side.

"Day Duty": Nishikata goes to school and sees Takagi on the window. As he arrives in their classroom, Nishikata can not find Takagi until he sees her shoes underneath of their teacher's table. Deducing that she is hiding, Nishikata bluffs by leaving the classroom but sneakily approaches the cabinet behind his desk. However, Takagi is not there nor is she underneath of their teacher's table. When Nishikata sits down at his desk, Takagi pops out from the curtain besides him. Yet again, Nishikata fumbles in humiliation.

"Funny Face": Nishikata asks his classmate for a perfect funny face that would make Takagi laugh hysterically. As he tries to make a funny face to Takagi, the latter gives him tips for a much improved and even funnier face. However, as he turns his head, he faces their teacher and gets scolded.

"One-Hundred Yen": Earlier, Nishikata thought he found a hundred yen coin, but it turned out that it was just an arcade token. Later, Mina, along with Sanae and Yukari, walks home. Mina suddenly stops and steps on the token. After some investigating, Yukari and Sanae tell Mina what it actually is.

Figuring it would be the ideal opportunity to tell Takagi to stop her antics, he writes "Restraint", which is too vague for her to understand; Takagi writes "Status quo" as she enjoys his embarrassment. Nishikata's second attempt backfires when Takagi uncharacteristically shows kindness to him, including what is believed to be removing a mark on his face. As it turns out, she had rubbed ink on his face, as her second calligraphy depicts.

"Seasonal Change of Clothing": Mina and Yukari mope about the heat when they notice Sanae wearing a short-sleeved uniform. Peeved, Mina complains they had agreed to switch seasonal clothing at the same time.

"English Translation": During English class, Nishikata ponders ways to get his revenge on Takagi when he is suddenly called by the teacher to read aloud a line from the book. After misunderstanding Takagi's vague advice on what to do, he prepares his next plan — distract Takagi long enough so she can not answer when it is her turn. To his disappointment, although the teacher catches her by surprise, she easily finds the assigned line and answers it.

"Pool": As the class is enjoying their time in the pool, Nishikata is unable to participate as he had his hand bitten by a cat. As he sits on the bench, Takagi tests him to solve why she is not swimming. Noticing her grabbing her stomach, Nishikata initially assumes she's undergoing menstruation, but he fears that he should not say such a thing.

After spilling the can, he throws it into a trash basket from afar, which is followed by him doing it again with another can. Takagi suggests a contest to see who can throw their respective cans in, with the loser forced to obey the victor. After she successfully makes her toss, she distracts Nishikata enough on his attempt to miss.

Nishikata ultimately loses all four.

She tells him if he holds her hand, she will count it as win for him, but he is too embarrassed to do it. When they arrive at the river, Nishikata decides to go first. Takagi tells him that her record is 30 skips. This revelation distracts him long enough where he messes up his throw. She then reveals that her actual record is only three skips, which is the exactly number she gets when it is her turn. When he is given another try, Nishikata looks for a stone and inadvertently bumps into Takagi. Just as she is about to fall into the river, Nishikata grabs her hand and trade places with her, resulting in him falling instead. When they decide to go home, Takagi asks Nishikata if they held hands, which he denies. Once she leaves, however, Nishikata wonders if they truly held hands.

They then see a frozen puddle. Takagi proposes a contest where the one who carries the biggest piece of ice to school wins. Nishikata grabs a large piece of ice while Takagi grabs a small piece. She teases him about how happy he looks, which nearly causes him to drop his piece on the ground. He ultimately ends up dropping it when she mentions that the loser has to warm up the winner's hands. Just as Nishikata is about to offer his hand to Takagi, she asks for his hand warmer instead.

"Appearance": When Takagi meets Nishikata on the way to school, he tells her that there is something different about his appearance from the day before and challenges her to figure it out. A confident Nishikata reveals that he trimmed a small piece of his hair. Once the game begins, he gets very flustered when she examines him from up close. After a while, Takagi correctly guesses that it is his hair. She tells him that she will change her appearance the next day and he has to figure out what said change will be.

"Bangs": At school, Mina is talking to Sanae when Yukari shows up. Yukari reveals that she was trimming her bangs the day before and ended up cutting too much off.

When Mina starts to apologize herself, she sees Yukari's bangs and begins laughing again.

"Valentine's Day": Nishikata is heading to school on Valentine's Day when he meets up with Takagi. When they arrive there, he is disappointed no one left any chocolate in his locker. In class, Nishikata is still disappointed that he has not received any chocolate yet. Meanwhile, Mano is nervous about handing chocolate to Nakai when Mina shows up to hand her chocolate to the entire class. However, they end up getting confiscated by Mr. Tanabe. Later, after Mano asks Takagi for advice in terms of how she should hand her chocolate to Nakai, she becomes too embarrassed to do it in front of his friends. When he catches up with her, she is finally confident enough to hand him her chocolate. Just then, Mr. Tanabe shows up. However, he decides to not confiscate them. When school ends for the day, Nishikata is upset that he has not received any chocolate until he sees some in his locker.

After further efforts to trick her fail, Takagi tells him the upcoming school year may result in seats being shuffled, to his shock until she reveals it only applies to the third-year students.

"Blossom Watching": With the new school year arriving, Mina tries to diet to emulate the slim bodies of models and television stars. However, when Takagi and Nishikata arrive with candy, she quickly abandons her regimen.

"Forms of Address": A week after starting their first year, Sanae begins addressing Kimura without an honorific, an act he finds intimidating as they are not close. Nishikata tries to take advantage of this by dropping "-san" from Takagi's name, but panics when she questions him and re-adds it. In response, Takagi, who had been calling him Nishikata-kun, decides to remove the suffix.

"New School Year": Now a second-year, Nishikata once again attempts to drop Takagi's honorific, but instinctively says it anyway. He tries to copy the upperclassman role in 100% Unrequited Love, which prompts Takagi to address him as Nishikata-senpai.

"Bitter Taste": Due to his loss in arm wrestling, Nishikata buys juice for Takagi. Remembering a conversation he had with his friends about maturity, he buys coffee for himself, but struggles with its strong flavor. Takagi buys a melon soda and offers it to him; although he excitedly accepts, he relents after she says it would be an indirect kiss. As drinking coffee does not change her perception of him, Takagi proclaims she would increase her teasing if he matures.

"Bicycle": Nishikata encounters Takagi walking to school without her bike, to which she asks him to figure out why. He remembers she had complained about its brakes not working the previous day, but figures it is too easy of an answer. As they take an alternate route that involves going up stairs and playing hopscotch, both of which can not be done with a bicycle, they encounter stray cats. While petting one, Nishikata reveals his answer as her brakes failing, which proves to be incorrect. Takagi explains the real reason is she had wanted to see his nervous reaction as he tries to come up with an answer. However, she had two answers to the question. When Nishikata asks what the other answer is, Takagi whispers to herself that she had already told him earlier that she wanted to hold hands.

"Eyebrows": Yukari and Sanae discuss how those with large eyebrows are kind. When Mina arrives, she misinterprets their conversation as making fun of such people and instead insults Yukari's bangs. Although Sanae clarifies what they were talking about, Yukari is too hurt by Mina's remarks and describes her eyebrows as weird.

"After School": Nishikata and Yukari are members of the field trip planning committee, which forces them to stay after school. Since this means Takagi has to walk home on her own and would not be able to tease him, Nishikata initially celebrates the decrease before realizing she has no intention of reducing her antics. Unaware of his thoughts, Yukari observes his behavior and assumes he is lamenting not going home with Takagi.

"Happy Birthday": On his birthday, Nishikata visits a bakery to pick up his cake when he encounters Takagi. Not wanting her to know his intentions, he challenges her to guess his destination and vice versa, only to learn she is also going to the bakery. Inside, Takagi picks up her items first before giving them to Nishikata as a prize for winning the challenge. In addition to sweets, he receives a 100% Unrequited Love keychain.

"Sneeze": Various students begin to sneeze, prompting them to theorize as to why they are being discussed (in Japanese culture, sneezing suggests someone is gossiping about the sneezer). Nishikata sneezes first after Yukari talks about his relationship with Takagi, which leads to discussing their "double date" with Mano. While talking with Nakai about wanting to be cuter, Mano brings up Hojo as a reference, who in turn also sneezes while talking with Hamaguchi. Shortly after, Kimura sneezes as he and Takao speculate about couples, including Takagi and Nishikata, which leads to Takagi sneezing herself.

When he concedes defeat, Takagi reveals that her score was lower than his.

"Dodgeball": Once school is over with for the day, Nishikata challenges Takagi to a game of dodgeball. Nishikata is confident as he had played it during P.E. class.

Just as Yukari is about to eat the candy bar, a cat takes it from her. Giving chase, Sanae eventually catches up to it. She then finds out that the cat took the candy bar so she could feed her kittens. When she meets with Mina and Yukari again, Sanae lies and says that she lost track of it. As they are walking, they realize that they left their bags and snacks at the candy store.

"Date": Nishikata and Takagi are walking together following the dodgeball game. Nishikata becomes flustered when Takagi continues to ask him loaded questions about dodgeball. At the candy store, they decide to buy some ramen. While they are eating, Takagi teases Nishikata about how it looks like they are on a date and what one of their classmates would think if they saw them together. Just then, Takao and Kimura walk in.

On the class camping trip, Nishikata tries to place his fingers behind Takagi's back during the class photo, but she makes a funny expression that causes him to laugh as the picture is taken.

The two, along with Mano and Nakai, eventually participate in an orienteering event but split up as Mano wants to be alone with Nakai. While going through the forest together, Nishikata and Takagi are caught in a thunderstorm that force them to hide in a cabin. To pass the time, Nishikata challenges her to guess a candy he feeds her, but her remark about his fingers touching her lips causes him to give her a chocolate-covered stick that she easily figures out.

At dinnertime, the class is making curry when Yukari cuts her hand. Sanae and Mina offer their help, which a touched Yukari graciously accepts. When the two ask why she is crying, she blames the onions.

A folk dance is held later that night, during which the students discuss a rumor that two people with romantic feelings for each other will fall in love if they were to hold hands once the song ends. Nishikata is conflicted about potentially ending with Takagi, but the music concludes just before the two are about to join hands.

Although much of the class goes to sleep afterward, Mina, Sanae, and Yukari stay awake. Since she is in a different tent from them, Yukari communicates with Sanae through flashlight Morse code, though neither understand the other's phrases until Sanae and Mina are caught by Mr. Tanabe. Nishikata leaves his tent and spots Takagi stargazing; after she tells him she had made a wish on the stars, the two hide under a rock until Tanabe leaves. Once he is gone, Takagi reveals she had wished to watch the stars with Nishikata.

Nishikata uses this opportunity to try and frighten her. Just as he is about to do so, however, she wakes up and teases him about what people would think they were doing inside the storage closet. Flustered, Nishikata tries to leave only to find out that the door is really locked. After he admits that he tried to prank her, Takagi reveals that she placed a broom on the side of the door prior to her nap. Meanwhile, Mina, Yukari, and Sanae are in the hallway talking about the supernatural.

"Nurse's Office": Leaving the storage closet, Nishikata is annoyed that Takagi teased him yet again. As they are walking, she notices that he has blood on his pants and tells him that they should head to the nurse's office. When he tries to downplay his injury, Takagi teases him about how painful the antiseptic looks. Denying this, he decides to go to nurse's office after all. Inside, they notice that the nurse is not there. Grabbing the antiseptic, Takagi proposes a bet where Nishikata will lose if he says "ouch". As Takagi treats his wound, Nishikata is surprised that it does not hurt. Letting his guard down, he loses the bet when he indirectly says "ouch".

However, she ends up being conflicted in terms of what she should do. They ultimately decide to take it to the station when they find out the grand prize is a rare bottle of sake. Later, Nishikata and Takagi are heading home when they talk about what they would do if they won the lottery. Takagi proposes a contest to see who has the better dream. Nishikata goes first and reiterates his earlier point of buying a lot of games and manga. When it is her turn, Takagi reveals that she would go on vacation with the person she loves.

Looking up instead, Nishikata realizes that he lost when he notices that Takagi is pointing up. She then tells him that he has to do all of her class duties for the day.

"Talents": As the class is enjoying their time in the pool, Yukari does not join them as she cannot swim. Despondent, she complains that she is not particularly good at anything. Mina and Sanae decide to figure out what Yukari's talent is. After they ask her a bunch of questions, Mina tells Yukari that her talent is that she doesn't have one. Mina and Sanae then go back to swimming, much to Yukari's chagrin.

"Worries": Heading to the classroom, Nishikata has a surprise box that he plans to give Takagi. Once he is inside, Nishikata notices that something is off with her. As the day goes on, he continues to notice that something is off. After school is over for the day, Nishikata realizes that Takagi did not tease him at all. While he is walking home, he notices her bike is at the shrine. Catching up with her, he wonders if he should leave or not. Just then, he drops the surprise box. Picking it up, Takagi laughs when she realizes that it is a dud. When Nishikata tells her that he noticed that something was off, she reveals that she had a fight with her mother. Feeling better, she asks him to stay with her. She then asks if she can tease him again, much to his chagrin.

"Messages": At his house, Nishikata receives a humorous text message from Kimura. Nishikata then decides to use the message to tease Takagi. However, it does not work as she is not fooled by it. Receiving another message from Takagi, Nishikata becomes flustered when he realizes that he almost sent what could be interpreted as a romantic reply. He gets flustered again when he nearly sends another romantic reply when she asks if he likes hearts.

The two swap turns, with Nishikata being tasked to do the same to Takagi who adds pressure by counting down. In a panic, Nishikata attempts to force her eyes open with his hands as Yukari enters the classroom.

"Scoop": Having misconstrued Takagi and Nishikata's eye drop challenge as kissing, Yukari asks Hojo to peek through the classroom door to investigate. After Hojo gives a convoluted description, Yukari tells Mina and Sanae what she believes is a scoop, only for Mina to refute that as Yukari has no certainty to her claim. As Mina and Sanae provide childish examples of what qualify as scoops, a frustrated Yukari leaves.

"Hide and Seek": Nishikata challenges Takagi to a game of hide and seek, using a broad playing field and an increased timer for a more difficult game. As Takagi is counting, he chooses to hide nearby under the assumption that she would not consider the area, but she finds him anyway behind a set of barrels. Hamaguchi and Hojo walk by their location and sit close to the barrels. Nishikata considers leaving in order to give them space, but Takagi convinces him otherwise to avoid giving them the wrong idea.

When he tries to explain they were playing hide and seek, Takagi describes their experience in a sensual light, embarrassing him and Hamaguchi.

Takagi then asks if they can walk down a further pole. As they are walking, Takagi asks Nishikata about how he found her earlier, which makes him feel like he is a stalker. She suggests that he must have feelings for her, much to his chagrin. After losing track of how many steps they took, they agree to give up.

"Fireworks": Yukari sees that Mina and Sanae are sending text messages to each other. Just as Yukari is about to send a message to Mina, Yukari's sister enters her room to ask that they shoot off fireworks, which Yukari postpones. She then becomes increasingly annoyed until she sees a message about the summer festival. Remembering that she went with her sister a year prior, Yukari decides to oblige her sister's wish to shoot fireworks.

"Souvenirs": At the library, Nishikata and Takagi exchange souvenirs. Nishikata then reveals that the souvenir that he gave Takagi are actually cookies that are very sour. After he is asked when he got back home, Takagi teases Nishikata about how he could not wait to give it to her as soon as possible. Heading to the shrine, she continues to tease him. When Takagi tells him that his souvenir made her happy, Nishikata admits that he tried to prank her with the cookies. At the shrine, they eat them together. Takagi heavily implies that she would like Nishikata to ask her go to the summer festival with him. A flustered Nishikata later stays up late at night, thinking about the events of the day.

"Promises": Riding his bike, Nishikata runs into Takagi, who is walking home with a couple of shopping bags. He offers to help her as he is on his way to meet his friends. As they talk about their summer break homework, Nishikata attempts to ask Takagi to the summer festival, but gets nervous and backtracks, to her dismay. When they arrive at her house, Takagi gives Nishikata a can of juice as thanks for helping her, and he starts to ride away. Just as Takagi is about to head inside, Nishikata rides back and invites her to the summer festival. An elated Takagi gives him several more cans of juice. At the river, Nishikata is too preoccupied thinking about what happened with Takagi to pay attention to his friends or fishing.

Transliteration: "Natsu matsuri" (Japanese: 夏祭り)
September 22, 2019 (2019-09-22)

Nishikata and Takagi meet up to go to the summer festival. She mentions that she is looking forward to seeing the fireworks with him. On their way there, Takagi suggests that they are on their first date and that strangers around them would assume so by looking at them. Nishikata denies this as he sees it only as her way of teasing him during the festival. They agree to make a game out of it. Nishikata repeatedly loses when strangers around them call them a couple. Takagi offers him a chance to win if he does romantic things that couples do on dates.

Meanwhile, Yukari, Sanae and Mina prepare to go to the festival dressed in traditional yukatas. When they arrive, Yukari describes it as a perfect location for a couple to confess their love.

Nishikata sees various couples at the festival and feels uneasy about behaving the same way with Takagi. He challenges her to a game of goldfish scooping, which he ends up losing. While they are eating, Nishikata offers Takagi some food. She accepts and hints that she wants to be fed romantically, which Nishikata feels too uncomfortable doing. They play a game of ring toss, which Nishikata loses. They exchange prizes that they won from the game. He gives her a hairpin, while she gives him a mask.

As the festival starts getting more crowded, Nishikata tries to hide from his classmates so as to not be seen with Takagi, who walks on. Kimura and Takao, however, recognize him easily. Kimura notices that Nishikata is holding Takagi's purse and urges Takao for the two of them to leave. In the process, Nishikata loses track of Takagi and he runs off to find her. Takagi realizes the same thing and attempts to find him. Unable to do so, she heads uphill to a shrine, thinking he went there for the fireworks display. As the fireworks start, Kimura spots Takagi and realizes that she is looking for Nishikata. He notifies Nishikata who rushes uphill. As the fireworks end, Tagaki spots Nishikata running to meet her. Nishikata holds her by the hand, saying that way they will not get split up again.

Later in the evening at the beach, they light up a pair of sparklers that Nishikata brought in hopes of winning at least once. Seeing it as a romantic gesture, Takagi tells him that he has not been losing at all. As Nishikata's sparkler extinguishes first, she declares it her win.
