After sharing a heartfelt moment together at the end of their shogi training camp, both Ayumu and Urushi must face the reality of Urushi's upcoming graduation and departure from the shogi club. Meanwhile, Rin takes advantage of Urushi's absence to make a move of her own.

THE WAIT GOES ON Mitsuki has officially confessed to Towa that she likes him, but Seiryo has officially lost to Hōjō … Which means the Seiryo basketball team is still banned from dating! Mitsuki says she’ll wait for Towa until he’s finished playing high school basketball, but Towa isn’t as patient. Is there any way he can get around this vexing rule? Meanwhile, Ryūji makes his own plans to pursue his crush, too!

As if Urushi and Ayumu's shared club life wasn't complicated enough, now their families get involved. Ever the gentleman, Ayumu attempts to impress Urushi's father without betraying his intentions. But his strategic resolve will meet perhaps its greatest test yet...

With her entrance exams finally over, Urushi gets to enjoy some much-needed time off from studying as she thinks about her future. Meanwhile, Rin comes to grips with the fact that Ayumu's heart belongs to someone else.

With Christmas and the New Year approaching, the weather might be cooling down, but things between Urushi and Ayumu are only heating up. When Urushi ends up catching a cold amidst the seasonal fun and frolic, Ayumu is there to keep her company and nurse her back to health using a tried and true method.

Ayumu's resolve to wait to ask out his senpai and shogi club president, Urushi, is not all that will be tested, as the club continues to grow. Meanwhile, one of the club's new members finds out Urushi's secret...

Feelings Growing Brazen Ayumu is steadfast in his promise to himself that he will not ask out his crush and shogi club president, Urushi, until he beats her in a single game of shogi. However, his resolve will be tested at every turn, as his club senpai grows more and more brazen with her own feelings for him and they traverse the minefields of White Day and several totally-not-romantic dates.
