Kosaki learns that for tanabata, the bamboo grass that they put their wishes on is special, and wishes have a high percent of coming true. Kosaki wishes to be Raku's girlfriend, and writes it on a slip. Kosaki waits until no one is around and puts her wish on the top of the bamboo grass.

When they get back to class, the teacher orders Raku to move the tree. Fearing that he'll see her wish, Kosaki feigns stomach pain and goes after him. She helps carry it back, but falls over, almost revealing her wish.They place it down, but teachers come and move it to a different location.

On their way back to class, Kosaki spots the grass from the second floor, and can see her wish. Kosaki opens the window and stretches to grab her wish.
