The Athletics Festival, Huh? Raido unwittingly rips the back of his trousers, exposing his cat theme underwear. Aharen can't find the words to tell him so she goes to comical extremes to hide the rip from everyone at school until she finds the opportunity to quickly sew it up. Raido, still unaware of the rip, assumes Aharen was spanking him for something he did wrong. At the athletics festival Aharen is chosen for the relay. Not wanting to hold them back Aharen trains with Raido and is happy her speed improves. Unfortunately, Ishikawa sprains his ankle and is replaced by Raido. After her turn Aharen is glad that while she didn't overtake anyone in front of her, no one behind her overtook her either. As the last runner of the relay Raido manages to overtake the other runners and claim victory. Tobaru passes out when Aharen proudly hugs Raido for winning. Oshiro consoles Ishikawa for not being able to take part. Riku feels excluded from everyone else celebrating but Ishikawa unwittingly makes her feel better just by talking to her. While out shopping Riku encounters Ren and decides to become friends with him so she can be better friends with Aharen. Unfortunately, as an introvert she struggles to relate to the outgoing Ren and ends up getting advice from him about how to communicate. Unfortunately, when Aharen appears Riku feels overwhelmed and runs away again.
