The class holds a beauty pageant for the cultural festival, in which Ami hosts the event dressed as a dominatrix. Ryūji receives a text message from Rikuro saying he would not be able to live with Taiga. Despite being deeply saddened that Rikuro did not show up for little daughter, Taiga wins the beauty pageant. A race is held for the male students to determine who will dance with Taiga. Determined to win the race, Ryūji uses various shortcuts to get past and step over most of the other participants. Near the end of the race, Minori, the only female participant, knocks down the remaining male participants to provide an opportunity for Ryūji to win. However, he takes her hand, and they cross the finish line together. At a bonfire outside the high school, Ryūji and Minori reconcile, before all the students dance the night away.
