After lesson, Kokonoe, Kagami and Usa and stroking Nyaa, and Kagami tells Kokonoe nott to go overboard with teasing Aoki. Kokonoe then replies saying that she loves Aoki, and that you tease the one who you love. Then Kagami tries to reveal her love to Kokonoe, but she justs laughs it off as love between friends.

Next Kokonoe constantly teases Aoki in different scenes, even interrupting him in the restroom. Later Aoki goes drinking with a few friends and starts complaining about the career of a teacher. When one of the guys asks about beautiful teachers, Aoki miss hears and thinks about Kokonoe, calling her cute, ignorant, problematic and too erotic. The other men, thinking that he's talking about another teacher, gives Aoki advice to do it with her. Once at home, Aoki reads the class' compositions on their dreams, but finds out that they are all dull. Then when reading Kokonoe's and Kagami's ones, he is completely shocked as Kokonoe's is about being with him, and Kagami's is about revenge on him. Usa's on the otherhand, motivates him to work harder.

On the next day, after getting test scores back, Aoki gets a scolding from Shirai-Sensei about his class' low marks and blames his teaching methods. Outside after school, as the girls are about to go school, Kokonoe says that she has to stay and get tutored by Aoki. Kagami then realises that her friend got a very low mark on thhe test on purpose so that this would've happened. On the way home, Kagami tells Usa about her true feelings about Kokonoe, and that she would've be better as a boy.
In the classroom with just Kokonoe and Aoki, Kokonoe asks if she can get a reward if she gets 100 on her next test. Agreeing with her, Kokonoe then asks if he could have sex with her, but Aoki replies that she doesn't even know what she's talking about. As Aoki leaves, the girl then asks for a different reward instead.

When trying to teach the class on the next day, Aoki is unable to keep them quiet. Kokonoe then shouts out that she can't understand and that the class is boring. The class then quietens down and Aoki is able to teach. Then, in the teacher's lounge, Kagami comes and says that Aoki is pathetic to have been saved by Kokonoe. And, at the beginning of the next leson, being unable to control the class, is saved by Kokonoe slamming her fist down on the table.

On the next day, Aoki is handing out the results of another test, and is happy to say that Kokonoe got 100 points in it. After saying that it is because of his teacher, both of them share a quick moment of happiness. Usa on the otherhand is upset that she didn't get praised for getting the same score.

In th evening, after turning Houin-Sensei down again, Aoki runs after Kokonoe. He tells her to go home as it's late, and also says that she can have a reward. Kokonoe asks for him to hug her, and carry her home, which he obliges to. On the way, Aoki thanks Kokonoe fo saving him.

Kokonoe says that she thought that he hated her (which he says no to) and goes on to ask if he would hate her if she did a variety of different stuff. This eventually ended with her talking about driving her old teacher to hell. Aoki replies by saying that that was indeed bad, but that she is a good girl. The girl then goes on to try and get Aoki to say that he likes her in a sentence, which is hard for him as he has no experience in confessions. When he finally does, Kokonoe jumps out of his arms and runs home, only for Aoki to find out that the girl had actually led him in a big circle all the way back to school.
