Hinata and Misaki and Usui

Hinata reminiscences about his past since he began living with his grandparents. Despite being popular in middle school and getting the attention of the girls, Hinata's heart still belongs to Misaki. Meanwhile, Sakura invites Misaki and Shizuko to Yumesaki's Culture Festival to attend UxMishi's concert, with Sakura assuring Misaki that Kuuga has changed for the better. Usui gets invited as well after "begging” to Misaki. At Maid Latte, the café hosts a Fortune Telling Day, with Erika as the fortune teller. Erika reads Hinata's and Usui's relationship with Misaki with the former "flat as a paper balloon” and the latter "incompatible like fire and water unless he tries harder”. After Misaki finishes her shift, she finds Usui waiting outside the back exit. Feeling down about his fortune and continuously making depressing comments about it, she angrily asks him if he's going to give up on her because of that and blushes upon realizing what she said-which Hinata overhears. The next day, Hinata decides to help Misaki clean the school entrance but ends up getting them both wet. With her clothes wet and revealing, Usui covers her with his shirt and accompanies her to get change. Hinata silently cries as he finally realizes what his friends were warning him about-that no matter how much he hopes, Misaki may already be in love with someone else. A few days later at the Yumesaki Festival, Misaki and Usui gets separated from Sakura and Shizuko after a large crowd of UxMishi fangirls rush to the band's concert. With no way of reuniting with them and Sakura refusing to leave the front row, Shizuko and Usui suggest both he and Misaki enjoy the festival together.
