Before the girls' relay race, Eri heads to the infirmary to confront Tae over her relationship with Harima and, despite truly needing medical attention (due to her fall in the joust competition), she refuses to let the nurse treat her. At the race, she, as the fourth runner, manages to take up a fair lead (thanks to a spectacular head start by Mikoto), but her sprained left foot gets the best of her and she ends up losing. After receiving proper treatment, Eri sulks about the defeat and the confusion that sets in her mind, as Harima comes over and declares he will win for her, just so they could be even, as he puts it. The result makes the 2-D class pass 2-C in the total scoreboard. Therefore, everything is at stake in the boys' relay. The 2-C team is greatly determined to win, both due to the girls watching them and to put Tougou and Harry in their places after they underestimate their rivals. Hiroyoshi Asou, as the second runner, manages to get in the lead, only to have it lost by Imadori, whose tactic of rolling along the ground to build up speed fails. Hanai then races like a demon before passing the baton to Harima, who worries that his cap might fall off if he runs too fast. Nevertheless, he makes a run for it, managing to beat Harry and win the race, while his hat indeed falls from his head just as he crosses the finish line. At the end of the festival, as everyone dances around the fire, Harima sits by himself on a corner, contemplating that now that his bald top is no secret to anyone, he might as well stay alone as the delinquent he is. Then, Eri shows up and asks him on a dance, even though her foot still hurts, but none of them apparently has nothing to hide anymore, so they might as well enjoy the moment for themselves.
