Sweet Rose Memory

Hanabusa decides to abandon his rose water pound cake, and angrily throws the bottle into a pond. But Ichigo jumps in after it. After noticing that the pond water left a smell on Ichigo and Kashino (who jumped in after her), Hanabusa has an idea for his cake. When he had his cake to be like the way he wanted it to be, Ichigo suggests that the group should change their pound cake recipes and has to stay up all night to perfect their four cakes. The next day at the Cake Grand Prix match, they show the audience that they had to change the recipes so that they would match Hanabusa's rose water cake (well, most parts of the explanation appeared in sort of a flash back). Because they made cakes that all accented one another instead of overpowering each other, Team Ichigo wins the match. After, during a tea-time celebrating their win, Hanabusa kisses Ichigo on the cheek. Kashino and Andou react comically(maybe jealously), but Ichigo dismisses the kiss as "nothing more than a greeting."

Ichigo has a feeling that something isn't quite right and found out that Hayami was originally in Group C (but dropped to Group F after her sickness and fever during the final exam). Even worse, Hayami is currently planning to transfer out of St. Marie.
