Dimitri organizes a charity carnival for a local orphanage, in collaboration with the nearby Garreg Mach University; meanwhile, Claude devises a scheme to win over Dimitri by the end of the week. Sitri's Golden Apple Circus features: Byleth manning a lost items booth; the Black Eagles glee club putting on a show-stopping musical; the Gatekeeper in a haunted house; and Flayn manning a kissing booth (to Seteth's dismay). Whether or not Claude and Dimitri get to kiss on the top of the ferris wheel is yet to be seen. ;)


Marianne, a university student with a green thumb, has just opened up her flower shop, but she is not doing so well. Her friend, Hilda, offers to help with promoting her shop, but due to circumstances, someone else comes in her stead: Lorenz. With his help (and his beautiful hands), Marianne's business starts to bloom, and her relationship with Lorenz deepens.


In order to pass Practical Business, students must take on a business for a school year and run it to perfection. This gaggle of students (the Golden Deer of canon, who are majorly nothing but acquaintances here) are given a coffee shop for the year, which isn't the ideal place for most of them, and immediately everyone knows this is a ship Not Worth Saving. Especially when the cute new professor from a different part of the school comes in and instantly wrecks all chances one of the students had for passing.


Claude envies Dimitri for how easy he has it, having his gender practically handed to him at birth and never having to fight for being seen as who he is. He doesn't know Dimitri is trans, too, and equally resents Claude for the exact same reasons. They project their bitterness onto the monthly inter-college debate competitions, not realising that underneath their rivalry, a lot of mutual pining and attraction awaits.


Claude and Dimitri are at an impasse in their relationship. After three years of friendship, they must decide if they're going to try to date or enjoy the affectionate nature of their dynamic. It's a good thing they're going down the shore for a week as they try to figure this out.
