Kanade and Akane leave for school to go to a student council meeting. On the way, Kanade points out the obvious flaw in Akane's plan to become king, namely, that it would bring her more attention. Kanade then tries to ditch Akane for clinging to her too closely. Akane is then almost hit by a truck while saving a cat, but Kanade saves her by materializing a giant, shock-absorbent wall. Akane asks how much it cost, and is shocked when Kanade tells her it cost 40,000,000 yen. The second part of the episode focuses on Hana Satō, who is bemoaning that no one at school knows her after she transferred away for a few years. She is shocked to find that Shū still remembers her. After school, she sees him walking home with Akane, and assumes that Akane is his girlfriend. Realizing the misunderstanding, she confesses her feelings for him. He says he would return her feelings, but is focused on the election, trying to prevent Kanade from becoming king, and agrees to return them once it is over. That evening, he calls her to make sure she arrived home alright. Later, Akane wonders why Shū would want to prevent Kanade from becoming king.

During the first part, the Sakurada siblings are busy with their election campaigns and the plot moves to Kanade, whom reveals her intention to become the king: long ago, she brought Akane and Shu to play at a park in their childhood. When she materialized a castle for Akane to play in, it crumbled and injured both Shu and Akane. Shu was the one that mostly affected and it severed his leg (even Kanade's ability proven futile), simultaneously crushing his dream to become a soccer player. Due to this, she wants to become a king in order to advance the medical systems and corrects her past mistake on Shu. Meanwhile Haruka sees an improvement in his siblings, even seeing Misaki for the first time trying to campaigning for herself. In the second part, after visiting the kindergarten, Kanade sees Aoi as a rival to her and asks Aoi about her true power. Aoi's true power, Absolute Order allows her to command anyone to her liking but she stops using it out of fear being unfit as a king, as well as having little control over it. While returning home, Aoi believes that she has several friends because of her royalty status but Akane denies such fact, having known their true relationship.
