One day, Futaro raises a Japanese history question to them; Miku calls Futaro to the rooftop to privately hear her answer, which he misapprehends as a love confession, and which in turn arouses the discontent of Nino.

Nino boldly claims Futaro for the Kyoto school trip, stunning Ichika and Miku, but Futaro has made other plans. Itsuki appears to Futaro as Rena (her mother's name) but he is disinterested in the game. Ichika twice disguises herself as Miku to sabotage her relationship with Futaro, but is caught first by the sisters and then by Futaro. Ichika claims to be the Rena he met years ago, but he disbelieves her as she still has the charm. On the third day, Miku and Futaro spend time alone in period costumes, and she is able to express her love for him – or perhaps for the sisters who aid her and repair their bonds. Futaro later apologizes to Ichika for being harsh to her. Itsuki wears the Rena disguise to accept a birthday gift from Futaro, and it is revealed that the girl he'd met six years ago was Yotsuba. | |||||

Six years ago on school trips to Kyoto, Yotsuba became separated and helped Futaro out of a bad situation. The two bonded over their family circumstances and future aspirations, promising to study. However, Yotsuba sees Futaro mistake Ichika for her, and decides to stand out from her sisters. Soon after, their mother dies and their adoptive father moves them to prestigious schools. Yotsuba's grades slip and she loses motivation to study, instead becoming popular through sports. She fails a make-up exam and her sisters pretend to cheat to follow her to a new school. There, Yotsuba hid the fact that she had met Futaro before – initially because she was a poor student, and later as she realized her sisters had feelings for him. Yotsuba had Itsuki pretend to be Rena, so that he would not be tied by their past, but in the present of the storyline Yotsuba admits to herself that she had always loved Futaro. During summer break, Futaro realizes that the quintuplets helped him socialize with the class. Ichika decides to drop out of school to focus on her acting career, but Futaro convinces her to accept his tutoring and graduate with her class. | |||||

The next day, Futaro meets Takebayashi, his elementary school classmate and tutor, who talks with some of the quintuplets. Ichika spends the evening with Futaro and kisses him. Nino, who tried to invite her stepfather to the festival, is aided by Futaro and makes pancakes for him, sneakily kissing Futaro.

As with Nino, the other quintuplets face challenges at the festival and some kiss Futaro for his support. Miku has the boys and girls reconcile and collaborate for the class's food stand. Yotsuba collapses from overwork, and heeds Futaro's advice to rest after learning that those she had helped would cover for her. Itsuki's determination is upset by Mudou, the quintuplets' biological father, who begs forgiveness and urges Itsuki to not follow in the footsteps of her mother, his former student. After talking to Futaro on the last day of the festival, Itsuki approaches the man once more, supported by her sisters and stepfather, and states that she will pursue her dream of becoming a teacher even if her own mother told her not to. At the festival's conclusion, Futaro is told by the quintuplets to go into the room of the girl he wants to date. He waits in the infirmary, Yotsuba's room. | |||||

Refusing to accept Futaro's choice, Yotsuba runs away, but admits her feelings for him. However, she can't return his feelings before settling things with her sisters. The day after, Ichika invites Futaro to play badminton and tells him he should properly confess to Yotsuba. In the meantime, Yotsuba apologizes to Nino for how things turned out, enraging the older sister in the process. After a karaoke night with Miku, Yotsuba decides to shoulder her sisters' frustration. Itsuki realizes that she also likes Futaro, but lets go of her feelings as Yotsuba declares her resolve to go out with him and also gain her sisters' approval. On their first date as a couple, Futaro proposes to Yotsuba. Five years later, Ichika has become a famous actress, Itsuki is working as a teacher, Nino and Miku are running a café, while Futaro and Yotsuba are living together in Tokyo. On the wedding day, Futaro manages to recognize all the quints who are dressed as the bride, and affirms how he takes pride in having been their tutor. After the reception is over, Futaro asks Yotsuba whether she was the one who kissed him under the bell five years before, which she indirectly confirms, stating she has many things she wants to tell him. They find her sisters, who plan to tag along on the couple's honeymoon. This exasperates Futaro, who remembers that something similar happened on their graduation trip, except this time he cracks a smile. |
