Mikoto and Kuroko's Tokiwadai dorm hosts the Midsummer festival, an invitation only event with most of the students dressed as maids. As Kuroko gets dragged by Maika Tsuchimikado to help in the kitchen, Mikoto gives a tour of the festival to Ruiko and Kazari, the latter of which is very excited to experience the life of a Tokiwadai student. Mikoto, however, is nervous as she's been asked to do a stage performance later, not helped when news of her performance spreads and raises expectations. As she nervously prepares for her stage debut, Mikoto meets Toma backstage and, believing he was simply there to make fun of her, chases him away. The anger she throws against him cures her nerves and she is able to perform a beautiful violin solo of Elisa's "Real Force" to the crowd.
