## Synopsis

This episode begins with Aoki doing some paperwork in class, and Rin telling him that she can now do a handstand, which she then offers to show him. At the same time, Mimi and Kuro are discussing what they are going to do during the summer break. Because Aoki ignored Rin, she gets annoyed and puts her skirt over his head.

Next is the end of term assembly, where the head teacher is talking to the students; but, Rin just stares at Aoki who is standing to the side of the students. In the teacher's lounge, Aoki is stuck with making his class report cards as he wants to give them all 20 circles as he thinks that they are all good kids. Then the other teachers join in, with Oyajima reminiscing on the percentage based mark scheme he had as a kid, and Shirai saying that she still uses that. Aoki goes on to say that effort should be rewarded, but Shirai turns down that idea by saying that effort has no merit. Watching Aoki stand up for his beliefs and argue, Houin looks at him and feels a strange feeling in her heart.

Afterwards, Aoki walks to his class, but on the way sees Rin staring out of a window. As he says for them to go to class, Rin sits down and says that she doesn't want to. After asking her what's the matter, she suddenly shouts out that it's almost summer vacation. She gets up, cuddles her hair and says in a sad tone that she won't be able to see Aoki any more. He tells her not to worry, that he'll be in school everyday in the summer vacation, and that she can come see him any day that she wants. Rin then cheers up and offers to show Aoki a handstand again, to which he agrees. Aoki suddenly gets worried because she's wearing a skirt, but she's wearing her bloomers underneath so it's okay. But, Rin dress then falls all the way down past her chest and she screams out loud.
At the end of the lesson, Aoki hands out his report cards, and bids his students farewell. As she leaves, Rin hugs Aoki, then threatens him to not cheat on her. Houin then comes into his classroom when only he is in there, and they discuss that as kids, they were always sad when vacation ended, but now they're sad when it starts.

During the vacation, Rin, Kuro and Mimi do various activities like going to the park, eating ice cream and going to the library. They then are sunbathing out on a balcony, and as Mimi goes to put sunscreen on Kuro's back, they notice that Rin is spacing out, so Kuro tickles Rin's armpit. One night, Rin is laying on her bed, staring at her toy bear, and says out loud to herself that 'this is boring'. She also has a calendar counting down until a certain date that has been outlined with a heart shape. During one dinner, Reiji apologises to Rin about not being able to take her out anywhere, but she says that's allright.
Usa and Mimi knock for Rin, then they all go to the school to use the swimming pool. Before they get there, Aoki is studying on how to become a better teacher, and Houin visits him in a revealing swimsuit. But Rin soon arrives and says that it's unfair that Houin is wearing a bikini, so Houin goes to get changed. Whilst all the students are in the pool, Aoki looks at Houin and is glad that her swimsuit is less revealing. But when he turns around, Rin is staring at him, with only the top half of her face visible over the surface of the water.

Then, in the changing room, Rin is massaging her breasts as she thinks that they'll become bigger as she thinks that that is what Aoki likes. Rin then leaves without saying goodbye to Aoki. Later in summer vacation, Rin is doing various activities (like the ones she did previously) but now on her own, due to Kuro and Mimi being away with family. But, after becoming annoyed writing a diary entry, Rin falls backwards and see a flyer for a fireworks festival which she then wants to go to with Aoki.
Rin then goes to school looking for Aoki, and looks down out of a window at him and Houin doing gardening. Houin then invites him to go to the festival with him as a patrol officer, but Aoki then gets hit on the head by some chalk. After seeing Rin in the window above, he runs after her, leaving Houin behind.

Looking for her, Aoki finds her panties on the floor, and after picking them up is called a pervert by Rin who is up a small flight of stairs from him. Rin then teases him a bit, and lifts up her skirt, only for her to be wearing bloomers again. Aoki follows her to the top of the school, where the swimming pool is and Rin is standing up there very depressed.
Aoki tells her to go home, but Rin says she doesn't want to, otherwise he would see the fireworks with Houin. She then walks up to him and pushes him into the pool, as well as herself. In the pool, Rin hugs Aoki as the first fireworks start to explode in the sky behind them. After watching the fireworks for a while, Houin interrupts them and screams at the sight of them together. Aoki says it's a misunderstanding, and he tells Rin to get out of the pool, but she hugs him again. She also pulls her tongue out at Houin over Aoki's shoulder.

Later, Aoki walks Rin home, holding her hand, and Rin is wearing his jersey. Reiji comes home and sees a note from Rin saying that she went to school. Then episode then ends on the next day when Aoki finds Rin, Kuro and Mimi sunbathing in school premises in their bikinis. Rin then says that she'll never take her eyes off Aoki to make sure that he won't cheat on her.
