Fu is visited by Riho, who brings along a travel planner named Harumi Kawai, who was an old acquaintance of Fu's father from before Fu was born. Wanting to learn more about her father, Fu goes with Harumi and Shihomi to Onmochi to help take pictures for a tour guide. Along the way, Fu hears from Harumi about how her father would always deviate from her plans and find fun things by going with the wind. They later stop at a bed & breakfast inn run by an old couple who tell Fu more about her father, who gave them advice about turning their house into a B&B. Later that night, as Harumi gives Fu a much belated congratulation of being born, Fu thanks her for helping her connect more with her father, inspiring Harumi that she should be more open and connected with her tours.

As the town prepares for the bamboo festival, Fu meets a man named Nozomu Natsume, who was one of her father's classmates. Upon hearing Nozomu give some harsh critique on Fu's photos, Kanae can't help but express her love for Fu's photos. Later that day, Fu and Kanae run into Riho, who gives them advice on how the technical skills of photography shouldn't affect what's most important to the photographer. After encountering Nozomu again at the okonomiyaki shop, the girls take him to see the bamboo lanterns, where he talks about about how Fu's father always put showing love in photographs over any technical prowess. Before he leaves, Nozomu asks Fu to take a picture of him.

Chihiro comes by to Takehara so she can watch their fireworks festival, swinging by the Photography Club to meet Kanae and Mutsuko. Whilst thinking about what to do for the festival, Fu and Chihiro recall a secret place Fu's father told them about when they were younger. The next day, Riho offers Fu and Kanae to have their photos shown in an exhibit. After Fu takes various photos of the festival preparations, Sayomi leads everyone to an ideal viewing spot, which Chihiro believes to be the secret place Fu's father talked about.

A year has passed since Fu moved to Takehara, and Fu and Kaoru reminisce about their reunion at that time and all the things that have happened since. As Fu becomes determined to be more aggressive this year, she receives an encouraging text from Chihiro. The next day, Fu states that she wants to start up a photography club when the new school year begins, receiving support from her friends, including Chihiro's classmate, Tomo.

After Kaede has hurriedly left the clubroom the other day, Fu's nervousness gets the better of her when she tries to promote the photography club to the freshmen. Meanwhile, Kaoru and the others encounter Kaede again, noticing that she has a camera. After receiving some enouragement from Sayomi and her mother, Fu decides she should try and convince Kanae to join the photography club. The next day, after Dougou asks Fu to help out with an upcoming cherry blossom festival, Fu chases after Kanae and invites her to the clubroom. Kanae explains that she had wanted to form her own photography club, but didn't have the confidence to start one herself. Moved by Fu's confidence and pictures, Kanae decides to join the photography club as an official member.

As Fu worries about becoming a club president, Komachi brings in a magazine featuring a picture of Fu, submitted by a girl named Kanae Mitani. Dougou helps Fu get her photography club approved, assigning new teacher Mutsuko Shimokamiyama as the club's advisor. After eventually finding their new club room, Mutsuko informs Fu that Kanae is a student at their school. Following a congratularoty party held by the others and an awkward meeting with the other club presidents, Fu hears from the photo shop owner about how her father entered a lot of photo contests in his high school days, encouraging Fu to try her hardest. The next day, Kanae herself briefly appears before Fu at her clubroom.
