Episode Title:
If That Happened, That Would Be...
Episode Description:
At the festival Akane notices Runa is unwell from stress as she will soon take the entrance exam to attend the school. While she recovers, Akane sees Yamada busy with his class and decides not to interrupt him. Yamada sees her anyway and talks to her straight away, making her smile. A nurse diagnoses Runa as just hungry so Akane and Yamada visit the food stalls for her, though being with Yamada draws jealous questions from the girls they pass, delaying them. Eita jokes since the rumors have started they might as well start dating, embarrassing Akane who runs away. Eita starts to follow her but Yamada beats him to it and stops her by using her first name for the first time. He apologizes for the bad joke. Akane asks him what he would've done if she'd agreed to date him, but plays it off as the same joke about them dating. She is shocked when Yamada responds that he hasn't thought about it because he sees her as too good for someone like him. Still declining to be in the pageant, Yamada's classmate Okamoto takes his place, angering the female audience and garnering support from the male audience.
