March is here, and that means it's almost Hinami's birthday. Izumi plans a surprise party, along with a trip to Universal Studios in Osaka. As for the presents, it's a team competition-whoever makes the birthday girl the happiest wins. Together with Mizusawa and Kikuchi, Tomozaki decides to re-create one of those old-school games she loves so much. Things may have changed between him and Hinami, and he doesn't want to be the character she controls-but that doesn't mean he's ready to give up on her.
