Remembering a note that holds instructions on awakening the Dark Flame Dragon that was written when he was in middle school, Yuta realizes that Rikka had been out at night trying to fulfill these instructions the whole time. Worried for her health, Yuta pursues Rikka, and Satone follows. When Yuta finds Rikka, she tells him that she wanted to awaken the Dark Flame Dragon in order to affirm their lovers' contract and prove her love for him, revealing that the presence of Satone diminished her faith in their contract and left her apprehensive. When the Dark Flame Dragon is finally awakened, Satone battles it, overcoming her heartbreak and afterwards becoming renewed. Yuta alludes to Satone's natural laws about saying goodbyes. Satone then smiles and bids him farewell. | ||

| As the new term begins, Rikka seems to be ignoring Yuta, with Satone informing Shinka and Sanae that Rikka is thinking about bringing her relationship into the kissing phase. The girls get together at the bath, where Rikka asks them to keep her from running away from embarrassment whilst trying to meet with Yuta. With encouragement from Satone and the others, Rikka tries to get her feelings across to Yuta, but still feels too scared to go through with it. Yuta assures her that they don't need to rush things, as he will always love her, though their first kiss is interrupted by news that Chimera had kittens. | ||

| Rikka becomes displeased with Yuta after she discovers Makoto had secretly given him a USB stick containing photos of an idol he had a crush on during middle school. Rikka and the other girls instruct Yuta to return the stick immediately, though Makoto secretly lets him keep it. Later that night, as Rikka sneaks into Yuta's room and discovers the stick, she inadvertently destroys it whilst trying to hide it from him, leading to the two of them arguing over who was in the wrong. With neither side willing to apologise, the girls enlist the help of Satone and Kuzuha to see how Yuta reacts when Rikka doesn't come home, finding that he still cares about her, and the two manage to make up with each other. | ||
