When news about the elections for the new student council president is announced, Yūsaku flips out in the middle of class and declares that he will quit the student council. All the students try to figure out what is wrong with Yūsaku, especially when he shows up to school the next day with his hair dyed blonde. Ryūji walks home with Minori while having a conversation about Ami's odd reaction towards Yūsaku's behavior. Ryūji arrives at his house to see Taiga, only for them to find Yūsaku, who ran away from his house. Yūsaku spends time with Ryūji and Taiga, having dinner and playing video games before bedtime. They hang out at a batting cage the next day before returning home, where Yasuko attempts to dye his hair back to black, scaring him into running back to his house. In order to motivate Yūsaku to participate in the elections, Taiga decides to compete as a student council president candidate.
