Episode Title:
If I Could Take One More Step Toward You
Episode Description:
Shaddiq attempts to convince Miorine to sign Gund-Arm over to him under the guise of saving the company. However, she deduces that he changed the rules himself to force the situation and challenges him to a team match between Earth House and Grassley House; if Miorine wins, the change to the school regulations will be reverted while Shaddiq will gain control of Gund-Arm if he wins. Suletta also tries asking Guel for help, but he reveals that he has been forbidden from dueling, and he is later withdrawn from school by his father. As the duel begins, most of Earth House is quickly defeated while Grassley House attempts to shut down the Aerial, only for the machine to reveal that it is immune to anti-Gundam weaponry. While Suletta singlehandedly takes out the rest of Grassley House, Shaddiq is able to catch her by surprise and corner her only to then be sniped by ChuChu, ending the duel in Earth House's victory. Afterward, Shaddiq asks Miorine if things would have been different if he had made more effort to win her affection, to which she just bitterly remarks that his regret is "too little, too late".
