Kaoru Hana wa Rin to Saku

To prepare for their finals, the six Chidori and Kikyo students hold a joint study session. Later, Shohei makes a sharp observation about Rintaro.

Kaoruko's birthday is in two weeks, and Rintaro is unsure of a gift until his mother gives valuable advice. Can he bake the perfect cake for her?

While everyone else is having fun at the beach, Subaru seems down. When prodded, she reveals her worries and makes a request to the four Chidori boys.

With things still left unspoken between them, Rintaro arranges to meet Kaoruko and express his true feelings. Kaoruko has her own thoughts to share.
