Episode Title:
Ohta-kun's Ordeal.
Episode Description:
Ohta has a rare sick day and Tanaka volunteers to take his homework, despite forgetting his address, and asks an irritated Echizen for help as she lives next door. On the way Echizen speaks to several people and Tanaka realizes Echizen is liked by people in her neighborhood, despite her delinquent personality. After Ohta returns to school with a sprained ankle Tanaka decides to look after Ohta for once but due to his listlessness is only useful as a crutch to support Ohta moving around, very slowly. Echizen gives Ohta some of her lunch but panics when Miyano almost reveals she bought food especially for Ohta. Due to the extra effort Tanaka is determined to sleep and begins completing his work at incredible speed, but is forced to stay awake after his speed results in many incorrect answers. The school has a fire drill but Tanaka is so used to Ohta carrying him he gets lost trying to find his way outside. For Tanaka’s safety Ohta decides to never be injured again. Tanaka realizes how much he relies on Ohta and decides to create Ohta Appreciation Day, gifting him a coupon book he can use to force Tanaka to sometimes do things on his own, but this is rendered useless straight away as Ohta has to carry him to get to class on time.
