Though he tries to speak to her at school, this is interrupted by the presence of Midori. Startled, he drops his belongings, and is unable to respond to Tamako's curiosity why he wanted to speak to her earlier. MochizЕЌ decides to postpone his confession for later, and goes to the bathhouse where he coincidentally meets up with Tamako and Anko before they've gone inside. Before finishing his confession to her, however, he realizes he was speaking to her younger sister Anko the entire time, explaining why the cup was caught in the first place. He decides to confess to Tamako via string phone. She mentions that it's better to hurry and confess to his crush, whereas MochizЕЌ appears embarrassed and hesitant. His mother Michiko tells him not to pay mind to his stubborn father, and approves of MochizЕЌ's decision of Tokyo. At home, his father Gohei deliberately turns the other cheek, pouts, and leaves upon seeing him return home. Meanwhile, MochizЕЌ has just arrived home. She stops at the coffee shop owned by Kunio Yaobi for a drink. Tamako greets the shopkeepers of the shopping district she lives in, all of whom she is familiar with. After hearing of their plans, Tamako notes somewhat sadly to herself that everyone has put into more thought to their future whereas she herself hasn't. Tamako wants to continue her work for Tama-ya, Shiori is considering going overseas to study English literature, Kanna desires to work in architecture (while admitting though she is afraid of heights, she knows she'll be able to overcome this phobia), and Midori wishes to attend a local college.

Shiori brings up the question of their future plans after high school. When both Inuyama and MomotarЕЌ question his decision, adding that he'll be separated from Tamako, MochizЕЌ implies he will confess to her soon.ДЇollowing the end of the school day, Tamako, Midori, Kanna, and the additional member of Shiori Asagiri walk home together. His short-statured friend, Inuyama points out a booklet for a university, to which MochizЕЌ replies he's applying for one in Tokyo. While doing so, he becomes distracted and starts looking over videos of Tamako, noting that she looks more 'sparkly' than usual since they've hit the spring season. She convinces the rest of the baton club to perform at the festival, wanting to make an impact for their memories.ДЄt the same time, MochizЕЌ looks over a film he and his club recently made featuring bears and an apple. Meanwhile, Kanna Makino wanders in the school hallways while doing so, a flyer of the Usagiyama Marching Festival catches her eye. This, added up with her inability to catch a string phone with MochizЕЌ and recognizing his feelings, indicates her imperceptible attitude to mature quickly.

After tossing it up in the air, she fails to catches it, the rod smacking onto her head. Later in the high school gym, Tamako practices baton twirling with her best friend Midori Tokiwa. He muses that though not many have realized it, he is in love with said childhood friend, having known her since they were infants. Mecha offers to bring drinks, where meanwhile Dera suggests new mochi ideas which are both misinterpreted as perverted concepts by Choi.ДЄt the shopping district, MochizЕЌ breaks up a fight between Mamedai and his father, Gohei, and is encouraged by his childhood friend Tamako Kitashirakawa. Prince Mecha and Choi Mochimazzi are making mochi, and the latter scolds Dera for lazying in front of the prince. The film opens on a tropical island and re-introduces the talking bird Dera Mochimazzi, who is narrating and recalls of the people back at Usagiyama Shopping District.
