EPISODIUM
Aoi, curious about Sōta's delayed reactions, is tasked by Yachiyo with taking a photo of Hiroomi for an album. Meanwhile, as Sōta and Mahiru go on their date, they are interrupted by Mahiru's father, who Mahiru hits when he starts insulting Sōta, managing to work things out with him. Later, Yachiyo announces her resignation to the rest of the staff, with Sōta encouraging Popura to do her best as the next chief before being mysteriously abducted.
