Summary[]
Rentarou is walking through the gardening club's field when he spots a girl walking on stilts. They make eye contact, and zing—his 14th girlfriend. Rentarou asks if the gardening club can help him as he wants to give a flower crown to his girlfriend. The girl on stilts agrees to help as long as he helps her in the fields. She introduces herself as Yasashiki Yamame, the girl Iku recommended speaking to when he was thinking about flowers on the roof earlier.
The two of them begin working in the fields together when Rentarou realizes how much of a tender soul Yamame has. He asks why she loves plants and animals so much, so she explains how she used to be teased a lot due to being big and that nature and animals helped her accept and like herself. The Vice Principal appears shortly after their talk, which scares Yamame as she's scared of fire, and the Vice Principal is burning moxa on her back.
Once the Vice Principal has left, Yamame and Rentarou continue gardening until the evening. Rentarou talks about how much he enjoys gardening, and Yamame informs Rentarou that he's free to take as many flowers as he wants for his girlfriend. Rentarou goes to speak when the Vice Principal dashes in with her hair alight due to the moxa on her back. Her hair becomes a giant flaming mushroom, sending flames toward the panicking Yamame on the floor. Rentarou steps in to protect Yamame, using his blazer as a shield. Once the Vice Principal runs away, Rentarou speaks to Yamame, where she accidentally blurts out that she likes him. She tries to take back her words, but Rentarou confesses back to her, confusing her as he already has a girlfriend. He reveals that he already has 13 girlfriends and justifies it by comparing it to animals and plants, where polygamy is common. Yamame accepts this and agrees to become Rentarou's 14th girlfriend.
