Yuri is concerned that Ryūji does not plan to go to college and Taiga is uninterested in a career. After hearing that Ami refuses to model the school uniform, Ryūji learns that she decided to stay at the high school longer to help Taiga. Ryūji gets a call from Taiga saying that Yasuko had collapsed due to anemia from overworking. Ryūji and Taiga decide to fill in for Yasuko by selling chocolates outside the local bakery shop, where Kōji, Hisamitsu and Ami pass by. With Valentine's Day coming up, Taiga decides to give some homemade chocolates for her friends after school as thanks for the things they have done for her. However, when Taiga believes Yūsaku rescued her from the blizzard instead of Ryūji, Minori becomes angry and tries to get Taiga to admit her true feelings. Taiga says that she just wants Minori to be happy, but Minori says that happiness is something only she can decide for herself, which causes Taiga to run away. Minori, deciding to go after Taiga, asks Ryūji to accompany her.
