What Flavor is the Atmosphere?
Episode Description:
On October 5, Sakuta observes Miori and Mai becoming friendly after attending an English class together. Later, he consults Rio Futaba regarding Uzuki's unusual behavior. Before his shift at the family restaurant, his sister Kaede, who also works there, shows him a commercial featuring Uzuki, who has gained sudden popularity due to her singing a cover of a popular song by Touko Kirishima in the commercial. The following day, Sakuta notices Uzuki wearing a mask and hat to conceal her face on the way to university and soon discovers the reason for the laughter directed at her. By October 18, Nodoka expresses concern to Sakuta about Uzuki's poor rehearsal the prior day. While commuting, Sakuta sees Uzuki on the same train and realizes she remains aboard past their stop. He barely reenters the train before the doors close and follows her to the final station, Misakiguchi. There, they rent bicycles and ride together. After discussing Uzuki's career, Sakuta decides to take her to the Budokan.
