Summary
Sumika thinks of her unrequited feelings for Ushio who falls head over heels for cute girls.

Eating together, Kiyori asks Ushio when she had her first kiss to which she replies she has not had one yet. With a first kiss only able to happen once, Ushio is concerned about getting it right and summarizes that what Kiyori was saying is that practice is the answer.

Sumika wonders how excited Ushio will remain about a first kiss, as she herself imagines a time where she and Ushio share their feelings for one another.

At school, Sumika is trying to prevent Ushio from planting a kiss on a nearby window as other students watch. That and Ushio suggesting that Kiyori wear a mask for such practice purposes. Ushio then enthusiastically declares that she has come up with a great idea. She wants Sumika to carry a anatomical human skeleton model to their classroom, it is just the right size for practicing.

Sharing her view, Sumika is not concerned with making mistakes or feeling embarrassed that the kiss is not done 'right'. It would be more than enough to do it with the one she loves.

Masaki interrupts the moment stating that the teacher is looking for Sumika.

Sumika had given up karate since it is not cute. Ushio finds her and asks her to spend her time after school with her, she should wait in the classroom where Ushio will join her.

Alone in the classroom, with a beautiful sunset outside, Sumika opens her eyes to discover the human skeleton model with a wig before her. This happening was just a terrible dream, before the real case of Ushio joining her in the classroom arrives. Ushio says she was obvious to Sumika's feelings and has been a failure of a friend. She is under the impression Sumika likes someone and offers to practice kissing with her as Ushio wears an alien like mask.
