Plot

While Rin and Yuki are shopping for matching mountain parkas for the sign language training camp, they receive a message confirming where it will be held from Itsuomi.

As they leave the store, Yuki receives a message from a former classmate named Madoka, telling her that there may be a job at a relative's cafeteria.

On the other hand, Rin was also talking to one of the employees of a real estate agency where she was working during spring break, but she is upset because she has not received messages from Kyôya.

Rin asks Yuki to help her stay alone with Kyôya, to which she accepts. She mischievously comments that this will make Yuki be alone with Itsuomi, which embarrasses her.

On the day of the camp, Kyôya and Itsuomi come to pick up Yuki and Rin by car, which Itsuomi drives. While they are in the car, Rin takes out a notebook to play "Wishes word chain" but with wishes while they travel. After Yuki writes her wish (Buy some nice shoes) Itsuomi comes up with the idea "Soar across the ocean on a trip with my girlfriend", making the three of them blush, and worrying Yuki that she can't do it because she doesn't have money.

Upon arrival, they set up a camp and begin to practice the different signs.

After practicing for a while they take a break with Kyôya's homemade food. Itsuomi suddenly gives a spoonful of soup to Yuki, making Kyôya and Rin blush again. They go for a walk alone once they have finished eating their lunch.

Kyôya and Rin are taking a walk along the riverbank after lunch. Kyôya asks Rin if there is anyone she is dating. Just as she is about to answer, Rin receives a phone call from the real estate man, answering because she thinks it would be strange if she doesn't answer.

When Rin rejects the man on the call, he asks her if there is someone she likes. Rin gathers her courage, and answers yes. When she hangs up, Kyôya apologizes for overhearing the conversation. Upon learning that Kyôya was dating a girl for six years, and that it would be difficult for him to start a relationship again, Rin is shocked and thinks that he could like her instead. Kyôya turns around and asks her who her crush is.

Returning to Yuki and Itsuomi, while she is cleaning up, Yuki mistakes a spam notification for one from Madoka. Itsuomi sees her looking worriedly at her cell phone, so, without being clear, he decides to go fishing in the river.

Yuki sees Itsuomi as a fish escapes from her hands, and she decides to join the fishing, but she starts to shiver from the cold. Itsuomi picks her up, and starts playing with her, pretending to drop her. Yuki clings to him, making him laugh and giving her an innocent smile.

The two return to the store and Itsuomi begins to warm Yuki's feet with his own hands. He asks her if something up, and that she isn't obligated to say it.

Yuki tells him that she hasn't found a job yet, but she is waiting for a response from a friend of hers. Itsuomi apologizes if she has felt pressured, but Yuki denies it, and comments that she wants to go abroad with him much more than he does. Itsuomi asks her, mischievously, why she says that.

Suddenly Itsuomi leans on Yuki's legs and asks her what she wants to do next, making Yuki involuntarily surprised and shudder. Itsuomi launches into a gentle hug, and while they look at each other, they intertwine their fingers. He asks her if she can stay the night and that he doesn't want to take her home yet.
