Plot And Overall Review
At the Hikigaya residence, Komachi sees Hachiman spacing out and inquires whether something occurred. Hachiman replies that he can't tell her until it's all finished.
Afterward, Komachi cheers him up as he had a gloomy look, and their conversation shifts to an arranged festival.
At school, Hachiman messages Yui to meet up with him even though they are both inside the classroom. As Yumiko looks on, Yui berates Hachiman, and the two of them leave together.
As they are strolling through the school grounds, they talk about the prom. Yumiko also tells him she met up with Yukino. After hearing that, Hachiman relates that they should stop in the park.
At the park, Hachiman asks Yui what her wish is. Yui replies that she is a greedy person. She also explains to him that he should focus on helping Yukino with the prom. She reveals that she wants to grant his wish.
At the school, Yumiko quickly cautions Hachiman about his relationship with Yui before she shows up, and they walk together to the classroom.
At the passageway, they bump into Iroha and Yukino. Yukino briefs them about the prom arrangements and the issue with the coordination.
After noticing what the two were doing, Iroha discloses to them she wasn't their translator. Afterward, Hachiman and Yukino displayed shyness as they head out in different directions.
As they head out in different directions, Iroha murmurs that he is welcome to help them. After Yukino and Iroha leave, Yui requests that Hachiman come to her house on Saturday.
At Yui's home, they made some cookies for Komachi's party. However, Yui's mother insisted on making fruit tarts.
Back at the apartment, Hachiman and Yui did some taste testing of the tarts. Yui's mother then suggested using the secret ingredient and asked Hachiman to guess what the ingredient was. When Hachiman responded, Yui's face turned red.
With the fruit tarts made, Hachiman leaves, and Yui strolls with him outdoor. Afterward, Hachiman gives her an early white day blessing.
Back at school, they hold the graduation ceremony with Iroha and Meguri conveying her goodbye speech to the seniors. As Meguri is expressing her goodbye speech, they saw Hachiman struggling to hold down his tears. After seeing tears in Hachiman's eye, Tobe deduced that it was hay fever.
After the ceremony, Hachiman and Yui proceed to the student council room to bid farewell to Meguri. Meguri announces her goodbyes to Hachiman, Yui, and Iroha, telling them to experience school days while they still had time.
After Meguri leaves, Yui and Iroha caught Hachiman sniff while thinking whether he loves Meguri.
