This episode revolves around sports day, an event typically held during autumn. There's even a surprising side of Ryo in this episode. Just like in the previous episode, she barely gets to cook and I honestly thought that was going to be a one-time thing. The lesson here reminds me of the one from when Hachiman made a "delicious" cookie in Oregairu. While the idea is similar, this episode adds another ingredient to the mix and that ingredient is nostalgia.
