I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class

On the day of the Christmas party, Maki calls Minato aside and asks about his relationship with Itsuki, but Minato wants to mend the relationship between Maki and Itsuki. When Maki returns to the venue, she is captivated by Umi's beautiful dress. After that enjoyable time passes, Maki meets up with Masaki outside the venue. Itsuki and Minato also arrive there. Maki had hoped to reunite her parents and get them to make up, but Masaki and Itsuki start arguing. Although her wish was not fulfilled, Maki feels relieved after venting her feelings.

One morning after Christmas, Maki falls ill with a fever and is confined to bed. When Umi and Sora find out, they come to visit her and end up taking her to the hospital. Since Masaki is out for work, Maki recuperates at Umi's house. Umi diligently takes care of her, but her father, Daichi, watches his daughter from the sidelines and is very worried. The next day, Umi goes out, leaving Maki alone with Sora. Sora thanks Maki for getting along with Umi, and Maki declares that she will cherish Umi as well.

Umi was making Valentine's Day chocolates, but things weren't going well. Worried, Maki went to Umi's house. Seeing Umi dejected because she wasn't happy with the result, Maki suggested they make chocolates together again. The chocolates were successfully completed, and Umi smiled. Then White Day arrived, and this time Maki gave Umi a present. More time passed, and it was Umi's birthday, April 3rd, and Maki attended Umi's birthday party at Yu's house.
