Himari embarks on a stamp rally with Tenichi and when she confesses to enjoy the ordinary high school girl experience, he says every day is special because he gets to hang out with a celebrity. Honoka asks Mayu if Tenichi likes Kanna before Honoka, Iori Yamada, and Hazuki Yano cover Fairy True's "Inner Pocket Romance" as The Flower Girls. Tenichi praises her performance and Honoka says she declined a chance to be an idol because she has a crush; Tenichi cannot imagine who.

Sumire runs into Tenichi while shopping and falls asleep on his shoulder while returning home.

Himari's new strategy of being aloof to Tenichi leads to a frank conversation and she asks him on a date for the upcoming Labor Thanksgiving Day, ostensibly to express her appreciation for his help. Himari treats him to both the attraction (aquarium) and restaurant, and Tenichi confesses he wishes he could find a way to show how grateful he is for her, too, so she surprises him with a long hug, saying it will give her energy.

Honoka asks Himeno for advice; she susses out Honoka's attraction to Tenichi immediately and reassures the student. Mayu engineers a situation to give Honoka and Tenichi a tender moment alone together. Tenichi gets Kanna's help to shop at LoLoport mall for a birthday present for the twins; she insists on seeing Tenichi home, where she realizes Himeno is his neighbor. Kanna's jealousy explodes as she mistrusts the former idol; Mrs. Iemori greets the pair and tells them to head to Tenichi's room, where Kanna invites him to read Himenono's bikini photo book. She takes off her blouse, inviting him to compare her swimsuit-clad body to Himeno's, but Tenichi gives her confidence, saying he has always been her fan for life. Himari struggles with insecurity over the new neighbor and fears the hug has alienated Tenichi, but when she confronts him, he is amenable to future hugs, relieving her self-doubts. On Himeno's advice, Honoka invites Tenichi to visit their former middle school, as their old homeroom teacher is getting married; she assumes they have started dating, based on how their past. Honoka nearly confesses her feelings but does not and Tenichi goes to work; he returns home to find Himeno waiting to tell him Honoka is waiting for him inside her apartment. Tenichi proposes they abandon their cautious stances. Because she got soaked in the rain, Honoka takes a bath and, in lounge clothes, tells him it is like they are living together, causing them both to nearly combust with embarrassment as they imagine a future as a couple. Tenichi, torn between the three amazing girls, seeks advice from Himeno. Together with her former manager Matsumaru, she learns to swim.

Honoka invites him to walk to a light display, where he gives her flower-shaped earrings and she gives him a "personal tutoring session" coupon with unlimited uses. He realizes he needs to tell Honoka he is working for Himari. Tenichi and Himari share a meal where he gives her a neck massager and asks if he can tell Honoka he is working for Himari. Although she forgets his gift (a monogrammed apron), she vows to join the "competition" for his heart. On Dec 26, Tenichi gives Kanna her a few tickets to the cinema; she uses the gift to ask him out and shows her magazine cover. They attend a film adaptation of Kanna's favorite butler manga romance but she is too distracted by Tenichi. Afterward, Kanna tells Tenichi that Himari is too busy to dine as a trio; while Tenichi's "special flower hot pot" is stewing at her apartment, they look through her magazine and Kanna confesses she likes him, giving him a kiss on the cheek as his gift. The next day, Tenichi runs into Himeno and she deduces that Kanna has confessed to him. Mayu and Honoka arrive with an omamori shrine amulet for Himeno and invite Tenichi to snowboard with friends.
