Kyosuke has an intricate fantasy about being with Ayukawa by the seaside in yellow tint, but ends up kissing Jingoro's backside. In the hallway at school, as he's hurrying to class, he sees Ayukawa and prepares to be insulted, but she says, ``It's okay. The teacher's not there yet.'' Ah-ha, Kyosuke thinks, Ayukawa is cute after all. Later, Kyosuke makes a fool of himself by clapping stupidly for Ayukawa when she gets off the balance beam. He then misses the winning basket in the basketball game they were playing, because he wouldn't let himself use his powers.
After the game, however, when he thinks he is alone in the gym, he throws the ball, manipulating it with his powers, and makes it in the basket, not knowing that Hikaru is watching him. She is much impressed with his prowess. Afterward, running in the halls after Komatsu and Hatta, he runs into Hikaru, knocking her down. She's happy to oblige this great athlete, especially since she thinks he kissed her as they went down. Kyosuke gets in big trouble, however, for such shenanigans. Ayukawa enters the principal's office while Kyosuke is getting bawled out, hears what happened, and assists him by throwing a flower into an offending sensei's face, even though she doesn't know what to make of what she's hearing.
Returning to his homeroom, he finds Ayukawa waiting there to return his bag to him. Hikaru-chan giggles about her newfound ``darling.''
