Misaki Ayuzawa is the student council president of Seika High School, and she works part-time as a maid in a cafe to support her family. In this episode, the school is holding its annual sports festival where different classes compete against each other in various athletic competitions.
Misaki is determined to lead her class to victory, but her arch-nemesis, Takumi Usui, is also participating in the festival. Takumi, who is secretly infatuated with Misaki, teases her and tries to distract her during the competitions. Misaki remains focused and leads her class to win in several events, much to Takumi's surprise.
Meanwhile, Misaki's closest friend, Sakura Hanazono, is feeling down because her class keeps losing. Misaki encourages Sakura to keep trying her best, and together they come up with a plan to win the relay race. However, Misaki is worried that a shoulder injury she sustained during the earlier events may prevent her from participating in the relay race.
Misaki's worries prove to be valid, as during the relay race, she reinjures her shoulder and collapses. Takumi comes to her aid and carries her to the finish line, where she and her class are declared the winners. Misaki's injury is serious enough that she must be taken to the hospital, but she is comforted by Takumi's concern for her well-being.
After Misaki is released from the hospital, she returns to the school and is surprised to find that Takumi has cleaned her office. She realizes that he really does care for her, and the two of them share a moment before Takumi leaves. Misaki is left feeling confused about her feelings for Takumi and wonders if she can trust him.
Overall, this episode is a fun and lighthearted look at the school's sports festival, with a touch of romance thrown in.
