Unfortunately, Suzuka overhears their conversation, and does not think that Yamato will try hard in track, and will slow them down instead.

The next day at school, Honoka asks Yamato to the pool; evidently, she also got tickets from the TV girl.

She thinks his behavior is irresponsible towards Suzuka, but Yasunobu thinks it is good for Honoka. Suzuka talks to Yamato after practice. He confirms that he is dating Honoka.

Wanting to impress Suzuka, Yamato asks her to stay another night and see the fireflies. She declines, and when Yamato gets upset at her coldness, she says he is incomprehensible, and being nice to the wrong person. After hearing Yamato on the phone with Honoka, Suzuka changes her mind, and decides to see the fireflies. When they arrive at the bridge, there are no fireflies in sight. Yamato reveals he went there to confess to someone before, with the same result. After being laughed at by Suzuka, he says he is prouder of the confession he made to her.

At karaoke, when Honoka goes to the bathroom to hide her embarrassment, Suzuka finds Yamato singing with a blond woman, and accuses Yamato of two timing Honoka. This is later cleared when Honoka and Miki arrive. Yamato doesn't want to sing, until Suzuka challenges him. They start to sing a duet, but Honoka looks nervous so he stops, to show loyalty to Honoka. Nana probes him afterwards and realizes that Yamato is not really being himself around Honoka, that he is just acting like a good boyfriend without really getting close to her. Yamato vows to try harder to be a good boyfriend. 
18 "Present"(Gift)
"Okurimono" (贈物) 
November 2, 2005[19]
For Honoka’s birthday, Yamato wants to surprise her and buy a very meaningful gift. To achieve this, he asks the residents of the inn to help him choose, but they all give really bad advice, and he ends up resorting to a magazine. Eventually, he asks Suzuka to help him choose, and she agrees. After wandering for so long, Yamato buys a necklace from a street vendor, using Suzuka as a modeling dummy. On the way back, Honoka spots Yamato with Suzuka. When Yamato presents the gift to Honoka later on, Yamato tells her that he actually went with Suzuka, and not Yasunobu, only to find that Honoka already knew. Because of her calm attitude, he takes this as a good sign, and goes into detail about how he bought it with Suzuka, and ends up getting his gift given back to him.

November 9, 2005[20]

Yamato then sees that it really is his own fault, and goes to apologize to Honoka. At Honoka’s house, Yamato attempts to give the present again, only to end up in an argument with Honoka about their relationship. Honoka suggests breaking up, and Yamato agrees. In the end, Honoka asks if she can still have the present, and gives him a goodbye kiss. Later on, his grieving-silently-in-own-room is interrupted in the forms of Yuuka and a drunk Megumi, who attempt to council him. When Suzuka approaches him later, he lies and tells her that he forcibly dumped Honoka (due to the fact that Honoka believed Yamato still liked Suzuka), causing Suzuka to hate him.

After the breakup, Miki and Yasunobu attempt to cheer up Yamato, while Nana cheers up Honoka. Honoka eventually comes back as manager, and reveals just how much the track needs her.

November 23, 2005[22]
Although Yamato resolves to stay on track, he just can't seem to be able to catch the baton, repeatedly dropping it. To help Yamato, Miki decides to take matters into her own hands and train Yamato. After many hours of practice, Yamato still fails to receive the baton properly, due to Suzuka occupying his thoughts the moment of receival. Eventually, Yamato reveals that his poor performance is due to his regret of lying to Suzuka. Miki offers to talk to Suzuka about it, but Yamato declines the offer, stating that he should stop making excuses and talk to her himself.

Somehow, though, Yasunobu's words sparks something in Yamato, and he then resolves to becoming first.

Miki guesses it is because of Suzuka. Sakurai later calls Nana for advice about Yamato and what to do. Sakurai tells her that she thinks that Yamato and Suzuka like each other and that there is no place for her anymore. Nana comforts her, telling her to find someone else.

During the race, Yamato gets a good start, but Arima quickly passes him. Arima ends up winning, and Yamato places a disappointing fourth place. Later, Suzuka visits Yamato, bringing him some eggs to eat. Yamato realizes that Suzuka is probably trying to cheer him up. Just as she is about to leave, Yamato confesses to her again. He says that she doesn’t have to answer him yet, that he will practice more, so that he can win the next tournament.

Honoka ends up yelling at Suzuka, because Suzuka refuses to accept Yamato, afraid to get in a relationship. Suzuka tells her that she doesn't know how it feels to lose a loved one, which Honoka counters by telling her that she doesn't know how it feels to have your loved one stolen from you. Eventually, Suzuka runs away, and Yamato comes to the shrine. Honoka, feeling defeated, tells Yamato where Suzuka is.
