The preview images show:

• Oota-kun and Kashiwada-san catching rhinoceros beetles for a sumo match
• Kashiwada-san's beetle achieving an "overwhelming victory" with dominant strength
• Oota-kun's signature "crushed expression" once again becoming a focal point of humor

Final Episode Climax: Oota-kun's "Boyfriend Declaration" Rescue Mission

The main event of the story unfolds in the latter half at the summer festival. Kashiwada-san and her friend Tabuchi-san change into summery yukata, becoming the visual highlight of the episode.

However, amidst the festival crowd, Kashiwada-san unfortunately gets separated and is pestered by a suspicious stranger. At that moment, Oota-kun makes a cool entrance!

According to the plot summary, Oota-kun makes a bold "Boyfriend Declaration" on the spot to drive the stranger away. Afterwards, Oota-kun blushes bright red, reflecting on whether he was too forceful, but this sudden "protective" act is undoubtedly the most heart-fluttering moment of the entire series.

Kashiwada-san's Reaction Becomes the Biggest Highlight

The greatest charm of "Inexpressive Kashiwada and Expressive Oota" lies in Kashiwada-san's inscrutable expressions. Faced with Oota-kun's direct "claiming of territory":

• Will she maintain her signature poker face as usual?
• Or will she show a barely detectable hint of shyness?

This will be the biggest suspense of Episode 12. Fans must not miss this summer festival finale filled with the bittersweetness of youth.
