==Plot==
The day of the play arrives. Despite not having practiced the kiss scene at all, Akira acts confident to his classmates that he will nail it, though he can't help but feel nervous. He runs into Yurina, who encourages him with a shining smile. After confirming with Akira about the kiss scene, she thanks him for teaching her so much and promises to respond properly.
As Yurina leaves, Akira thinks to himself that Yurina really is a "good girl," still unable to shake off uneasy feelings about the kiss. He admits to himself that if circumstances were different, he might have fallen for her, but Hina would always be his number one.
The play starts. While the main cast impress the audience, the backstage is in panic as Hinata, the witch, has yet to show up. Meanwhile, Hinata is unwillingly dragged to a crossdressing contest by some first-years, which he would end up winning.
With the witch's part coming up, Mikoto volunteers to fill in, saying she remembers the script word by word. However, since the witch's costume is with Hinata, they improvise, resulting in Mikoto going on stage in a magical girl outfit. Despite the initial surprise, Mikoto, feeling an unexpected excitement to be in the spotlight, delivers a passionate performance.
After some time, the kiss scene finally arrives. As Yurina goes in for the kiss, Akira suddenly opens his eyes and addresses Yurina, suggesting that she forget about Hinata and go out with him instead.
