When Shin woke up, snow had fallen and the surroundings were covered in a blanket of white. Seeing Kujima's excitement, Shin taught him about Japanese snow games. At the same time, it was revealed that Ei had failed all of his private university entrance exams. Disturbance spread through the family, and Shin regretted how he had been nagging Kujima. Shin went to apologize to Ei, but…

Spring has arrived, and Arata realizes that his time to say goodbye to Kujima is drawing near. Worried about Arata's sadness, Makoto comes to visit the Kouda family. Makoto suggests they go cherry blossom viewing in the mountains together, but Arata is reluctant and tries to refuse. However, Makoto half-forcibly takes Arata and Kujima out with her.
