Kujima: Why Sing, When You Can Warble?

When Shin woke up, snow had fallen and the surroundings were covered in a blanket of white. Seeing Kujima's excitement, Shin taught him about Japanese snow games. At the same time, it was revealed that Ei had failed all of his private university entrance exams. Disturbance spread through the family, and Shin regretted how he had been nagging Kujima. Shin went to apologize to Ei, but…

It was the day of the acceptance announcement for Ei's dream university. Ei seemed restless and couldn't bring herself to look at the results. Kujima offered to look for her, but Ei refused, steeling herself for the outcome. Meanwhile, Arata, anxious to find out the results, hurried home as soon as school ended. What Arata saw when he got home was Kujima dancing ballet gracefully in the living room.

Spring has arrived, and Arata realizes that his time to say goodbye to Kujima is drawing near. Worried about Arata's sadness, Makoto comes to visit the Kouda family. Makoto suggests they go cherry blossom viewing in the mountains together, but Arata is reluctant and tries to refuse. However, Makoto half-forcibly takes Arata and Kujima out with her.

The day finally arrived for Kujima to depart. Shin put away the futon, Ei and Masaomi taught Kujima origami, and Miyoshi prepared rice balls; each member of the Kouda family made their preparations to see Kujima off. And then, the moment of farewell finally arrived. To Kujima, who had tears in his eyes, Shin said, "We're only going to be apart for six months," and "Six months will fly by."
