As Fall finally arrives, Junichi is still wondering what Sae said that day but he still continues training her until the day of the job interview at a maid cafe. Sae manages to pass the interview but she still wants Junichi to be her coach because she still wants him to encourage her. Junichi later accompanies Sae to the amusement park to have fun with the rides there, including having her photo taken with her favorite TV superheroes. Sae later asks Junichi to be her partner for the Best Couple contest at Kibitou High Founder's Festival on Christmas Eve. As Junichi accompanies her to the bus stop, Sae tries to tell him to hold her hand but is too shy to say it. Junichi figures it out and holds her hand as they wait for the bus.
