As Christmas Day draws near, Kyosuke meets with Ruri on a rainy night and rejects her after confessing his love for another girl. The next day, Kyosuke tempts Kirino out to a Christmas date in Akihabara. As their date draws to a close that night, Kirino reveals her intention of going abroad once more. This prompts Kyosuke to tell her he has fallen in love with a girl, but this upsets Kirino and causes her to run off. Kyosuke gives chase but quickly loses sight of her when at that moment Kaori, Saori and Ruri show up in a minivan; Saori apologizes for stalking their date. As the group gives chase to Kirino, Saori also reveals her and Kaori's repaired relationship. Kyosuke jumps out of the van upon spotting Kirino and begins proclaiming his love for her. As Kirino starts rebuffing Kyosuke's strange words, his true feelings are revealed when Ruri blares Kyosuke's love confession to Kirino from speakers at the back of Kaori's minivan, which she had secretly recorded during their breakup. Kyosuke publicly confirms his own words, and asks Kirino to stay in Japan and marry him, which Kirino tearfully accepts.
