It's been a month since the Founder's Festival and Junichi and Tsukasa became a couple. Tsukasa decides to run for Student Council President and chooses Junichi as her vice-president as she faces three other candidates including Sae who is running by Miya's insistence that it help overcome her shyness. However, one candidate that Junichi and Tsukasa are keeping an eye on is Noriko Kurosawa. Noriko is just prideful and manipulative like Tsukasa and to spite her, Noriko also chooses Junichi as her vice-president as well. Tsukasa at first doesn't take the threat of Noriko seriously but when the first pre-election survey reveals Noriko is in first place while she is behind in third, Tsukasa realizes Noriko is using her father's influence who is a member in the city council. During their campaigning, Junichi gets an idea by taking appealing pictures of Tsukasa for posters to get more votes. Thanks to the hard work of Tsukasa's supporters and a scandal on one the candidates after he was caught bringing porn magazines to school, Tsukasa manages to catch up with Noriko in the second pre-election survey. Realizing that Tsukasa might beat her in the election, Noriko and her friends decides to take drastic measures. Tricking Junichi into meeting her, Noriko confesses to him and attempts to kiss him just as Tsukasa arrives to see this.
