"You're Having a Hard Time Flying..."Jun and Hiromi crash while on the motorcycle, but they do not get harmed. As a result of the accident, both Jun and Hiromi get suspended from school. Shinichirō's mother, who had previously shown hostile attitudes towards Hiromi, finally accepts her as her own child, and tells Hiromi that she made up the story about Hiromi being her husband's child. Shinichirō talks with Noe and gives her an update on the picture book. Noe hints that she knows where Shinichirō's true feelings lie, and she runs off back home.
"What Kind of Joke is That?"Aiko tries to tell Shinichirō her feelings but is interrupted when Miyokichi arrives. Miyokichi later goes shopping with Aiko and the latter stomps out of a shop flustered and tells Miyokichi that she bought the sweater that Shinichirō had picked up before. Miyokichi gets the hint and feels troubled. While frustrated about Jun approaching Hiromi during school, Shinichirō asks Noe to stop bothering him for while and ends up getting his belt being pulled out by Noe. Jun goes out with Hiromi on a date Sunday, and after they arrive back at her home, Jun tells her that Shinichirō and Noe are going out together. Later that night, Shinichirō overhears Hiromi and his mother's quarrel and has a tussle with his mother and Hiromi. Subsequently, Shinichirō finds out from Hiromi that he and Hiromi might share the same father.
"I'm Not the Person You Like"It has been a week since Hiromi moved out and in the meantime has settled into single living. Miyokichi gets a call from Aiko, and the two decide to start over from the beginning as friends. During a basketball match where Hiromi is getting purposely fouled by the other team, Jun comes into the match and asks the opposing team what was the meaning of their behavior, which sparks interest from spectators. Hiromi meets with Jun in the park where he apologizes for what happened during the game. Hiromi once again tries to break it off with him, but he still does not want to. Noe does not come back home at night, and Jun calls Hiromi to tell Shinichirō about it, and he leaves to look for her. Shinichirō finds her at the beach with the chicken Jibeta.
"A Meddlesome Guy is Like a Fool"Shinichirō looks for Noe during school, but after she suggests they eat lunch together or go home together, he gets defensive and lies, telling her that he has dance practice after school, and that she should eat with her friends instead of him. After school another day, Noe drops in on Shinichirō in the middle of dance practice, and he later becomes inspired by her. Noe's older brother Jun pays Shinichirō another visit and during their exchange Shinichirō suggests that Jun go out with Hiromi if he is asking him to go out with Noe; Shinichirō becomes nervous that Jun may actually go through with it. Shinichirō goes to tell Hiromi about Jun saying she was cute, but she gets annoyed at Shinichirō for coming into her room to tell her something like that. Meanwhile, Aiko has started to knit a sweater for Miyokichi, but she is showing Shinichirō more affection than him.
"Tell Me Clearly, Write It Down Here"Noe once again tries to approach Shinichirō at school, but he shrugs her off, telling her that she does not understand his situation. Following this, Noe seeks out Hiromi but gets in a short fight with her while at school. Shinichirō realizes that Noe does like him a lot, due to all the attention she gives him, and after a little more persuasion from Jun, Shinichirō asks Noe to go out with him, albeit while somewhat embarrassed and looking away from her. Noe even asks him to say it again properly to her face, and write out "I love Noe" on the ground with stones. After school, Shinichirō goes to see Ai at her shop, and when he tells her that he is now going out with Noe, Ai rushes up to him and kisses him. Afterwards, Ai asks Shinichirō in tears to think about her as well.
"The Town Where It Is Not Snowing"After asking Noe out, Shinichirō tells her about his picture book that he is making about the rooster Raigomaru. Ai cannot get over what happened with her and Shinichirō. Noe's brother goes out on a date with Hiromi, and she finds out the true reason why Shinichirō is going out with Noe and also why she is going out with Noe's brother. Hiromi cuts her date short after she speaks her mind to Noe, though she realizes that she acted liked Shinichirō's mother since she shows resentment towards Noe. She asks Noe's brother to give her a ride to a "town where it does not snow" in order to get away from things.
