Therefore...

I grant these four...

the right to kiss Kasukabe Hayato, as well!

What?!

The right to kiss Hayato-kun?

Correct. I'm granting the four of you the same right.

Death sentence!

Why?!

It did seem unfair

that only Kiku-chan got to do it when we're all part of the same family.

Yep.

Family members don't do that with each other!

I-I guess that's how it should be.

We're... family, after all.

W-Well, I don't need that kind of right!

Well, then, I'll go ahead and use mine now.

My... right.

What?! Are you being serious?!

A-Akane-chan?!

Knock yourself out.

Don't, Akane-chan! That's the fast track to being a losing heroine!

Wow!

Wow, wow, wow!

H-Hey... Hang on...

This is not for children to see!

Deculture!

Way to go, Akane-chan!

Ow, ow, ow!

Are you ever gonna stop?! I think that's long enough!

It's still just once, though.

Why are you trying to stick your tongue in?!

No fair! Let me do that, too!

You're not even part of this!

Okay, enough!

Fine, fine.

Seeing people you know kissing looks so much more real...

Well, I have band practice.

You're all on your own.

Senpai!

Y-Yes?!

You can't fall behind now!

You need to hurry up and do the thing with Hayato-kun, too!

Damn it, fine! Might as well keep going!

Just get it over with.

Snap!

Excuse me?! What do you mean, "might as well"?!

Well, I mean...

Come with me, then! I'll do this right!

Yep, this is a good time.

What time?

Since it's winter break, there shouldn't be any students around.

Okay, but first...

Why'd we have to dress like this?

You're a high school student right now.

You just worked up the nerve to take your crush behind the building.

This isn't even the school I went to!

That doesn't matter! It's just backstory!

First, pin me with a wall slam.

I'll act like I don't really want that,

so then you grab my arm and kiss me!

Does it have to be so much trouble?

Just do it! I never experienced anything like that, and I want to!

Also, that uniform's way too big on you.

Please!

I can't help it! I borrowed it from Ami-chan.

And you're still a celebrity, aren't you?

What if you end up all over some tabloid doing this?

No need to worry about that.

I've already called in a journalist I know!

Are you nuts?!

So in the end, we're doing this at a shrine?

Yep! A sudden kiss while we're looking down at the town!

Won't the gods punish us for that?

Okay, the park's fine, then!

I'll sit down, and you bend over me backwards from behind the bench!

Nope. I'm not flexible enough.

What can you do, then?!

It's night already...

Because you spent so long griping.

I'm freezing.

I'm freezing, too!

But look, Hayato-kun.

The stars are so pretty.

Oh... I smell fish cooking...

Dinner time already...

Yes, someone's grilling fish, but ignore that!

Why are you so blasé about this, anyway?!

You should be taking a little more initiative here!

What am I even supposed to do, though?

Like, embrace me while I'm shivering or something!

There's gotta be something manly you can do from there!

Anyway, I'm not going home until I get my perfect kiss!

I see. I think I get it now.

Huh? Get what?

Wh-What are you doing?

What you're saying is,

you want the guy to be a little forceful about kissing you, right?

W-Well, yeah, but... Wait a—

Huh?!

You dumbass!

Forget it! Not today!

I don't want you kissing me on the same day you kissed Akane-chan!

Wha... Huh?

Tomorrow or anytime after! Kiss me when I'm least expecting it!

Got it?!

Huh?

That was already enough to crush my spirit, though...

You're a man! Don't be so pathetic!

For crying out loud...

Maybe my heart is just too pure.

Who gets all embarrassed over a silly kiss?

Darn it! That would have worked just fine,

but I got nervous and pushed him away...

Maybe that was...

a little too much for a first time...

Menacing

Riho's so ready to be kissed out of the blue, she's not leaving any openings.

I don't even feel up to approaching her.

Hey, you, martial artist.

What is it, ordinary citizen?

Could you do me a favor?

What?! What is it?!

Sorry, but I want you to hit Riho on the head with this tray.

Just a little tap.

Huh? Why do I have to do that? That's mean!

For justice.

Okay! Got it!

You idiot! Not that hard!

Not good enough.

You thought you could catch me off-guard that way?

Huh? Oh, it's you, Ami-chan.

I underestimated you!

I had no idea you were such a master!

Uh, er...

Come at me from wherever you want!

Master

Master

Should've known that wouldn't work. Oh, well.

I guess even just a kiss really isn't that simple.

And Hayato-kun's no better!

What is he even doing, darn it?!

Hello?

Oh, Dad. What're you calling for?

Sorry to call you so late.

It's actually about your mom.

She has terminal cancer.

They've given her three months to live.

Hey, Riho?

Oh... Wh-What is it?

Is something wrong?

Well, according to her doctor...

the treatment is working better than they anticipated.

They're saying she might even pull through!

Oh... really?

Yeah. Apparently, the patient's will to live makes a difference, too.

She was watching the TV drama you appeared in at the hospital today,

pointing out everything she saw wrong with it. She looked so happy.

There's no right or wrong way to play a corpse!

Tell her a third-rate actress

has no right to speak to me that way!

Now, Riho...

Well, bye. Don't push yourself too hard, either.

Oh... So Mom might actually live...

And she looked happy talking about me...

I'm happy for you.

Huh?

Well, I kept my promise, so...

W-Wai—Um...

Wh-What the heck? My heart almost stopped...

Master?!

What happened?! You were a sitting duck!

K-Kissing...

No, sitting!

A total sitting duck, Master!

Come on... Please, Hayato.

I can't stand it any longer.

A-Akane?

What the hell are you doing?!

What's the problem? You like me back, don't you?

No, you don't. Do you, Hayato-kun?

That's right! I'm the one you like!

Y-You guys...

Choose one of the three of us!

Who do you want to do sexy things with?

Well?

You think I can even choose—

I guess...

after kissing them all back-to-back like that,

even I'm gonna have some weird dreams.

We're all gonna clean this place from top to bottom today.

Okay!

Hey, wake up, Akane.

Quit spacing out and clean.

Oh, sorry. My blood pressure's low this morning,

so I'm kinda light-headed.

E-Er...

Okay, in that case...

I'll do it. You just rest a while.

Uh... Okay. Thanks.

Hup...

What're you doing?

Hayato-kun.

There's dust on top of the shelf, too.

I was going to move all the stuff and clean it off.

It's dangerous working up high!

I'll take care of it!

VRRRRRRM

You're doing that on purpose!

Huh?

Forget it! I'll do this! Go clean your room or something!

Damn it.

After that dream, I'm weirdly conscious of...

Hey! What are you doing?!

What is it? What happened?

Hayato-kun was digging around in our underwear!

No, I wasn't! I was just going to do the laundry!

I'll show you whenever you want, though.

I guess it can't be helped if it was an accident.

Whose underwear do you prefer, anyway?

I'll clean the whole café on my own as punishment for touching your underwear!

I'm exhausted.

I gotta at least get into my pajamas... before...

Oh, wow!

You're definitely young, Hayato-kun!

Apparently this happens when he's tired.

Wh-What are you guys looking at?!

Well, I mean...

Right?

A wild sushi roll.

Are you dumb?! Why'd you even come in here?!

If you wanted to wash our underwear that badly...

We thought we'd let you do it right now.

As a bonus, we'll take it off in front of you.

Idiot... Stop... Keep it on...

Morning, Hayacchi! It's New Year's... Eve...

Wh-What is this?!

Feels like the end of the year, doesn't it?

What happened, Hayato-kun?!

Are you okay?!

Wh-What... the hell is your deal?

Ow, ow, ow...

Don't worry, Hayacchi! It'll get better quick!

What in the world happened, Ami-chan?

I put some ointment on him!

His peeking peepee was so swollen, it was bursting out of his pants!

What?

It was peeking out...

...and so swollen, his pants were bursting?

No!

Liquid WAHI S For itching and insect bites

He must've been bitten by some venomous bug!

So I put ointment on it!

Are you a complete idiot?

That was... n-not a bug bite, at any rate!

Then what the heck was it?!

It was hard as a rock! Are you sick?!

Do you have rock-hard-peeking-peepee sickness?!

Shut your mouth!

Let us see, Hayato-kun!

Yeah! If it's rock-hard sickness, that's really bad!

Let the nice ladies look at you!

We'll get you all fixed up.

Yeah!

Put more ointment on it!

Nooo!

Stop being ridiculous! All of you, get out!

Why do we have to do this?

I wanted to go visit my family over New Year's.

Indeed.

You! Move your hands, not your mouth!

Chiyoda Diner

The idea of an eatery taking time off over New Year's is absurd!

Absurd!

We have a hundred orders for New Year's meals!

Plonk!

We must finish them all by the end of the day.

Let's all work hard!

Right...

While we're here doing this,

I bet the heroine race is heating up!

Wow, that looks amazing!

Like something from a restaurant!

It looks delicious!

Well, it's Shiragiku-san's handmade soba, after all.

This is yours, Hayato-kun.

I went to the supermarket by the station and got you frozen udon

plus mixed tempura from the prepared food section.

Huh?

U-Um, Shiragiku-san, isn't that kinda mean?

Yeah!

You're being a little too cold toward Hayato-kun.

Are you mad at him or something?

Hayacchi, apologize right now!

I-It's not like that! This is—

Shiragiku.

Did Grandma tell you?

Y-Yeah.

I told him I'd make soba for him,

but he said he wanted udon and mixed tempura from the supermarket.

So unlovable, isn't he? I wonder who he gets it from...

That's what she told me.

Wow, you have lousy taste.

Who chooses supermarket udon over a three-star chef's soba?

Shut up! I like this kind of thing!

Thanks for this, Shiragiku.

Oh, it's okay.

I did it for the guy I like, after all.

Grr.

Rrgrr.

Hey, Kiku-chan, isn't that kinda unfair?

Huh?

You're the only one who knew about that.

Well...

And busting out that knowledge at the end of the year?

That's so insidious.

Let's stop being silly and eat already.

The soba's getting cold.

Right! Let's eat!

Devoted Member of Jouun Temple

Hey! Kiku-chan!

Don't mind if I do!

Yum!

Is this what you'd call divine grace?

Huh? What do you mean?

Devoted Member of Jouun Temple

Oh, nothing.

Hey, Grandma...

What're you doing? Aren't you gonna eat?

Oh, I was just giving thanks to the gods.

You know, thanking them for this past year.

I also prayed to stay healthy this year, too, and live a long life.

But if that's not possible, then I at least...

don't want you to ever be lonely.

That's what I prayed for.

Sheesh...

And thanks to that, it's another crazy year-end.

You really outdid yourself, Ouka-chan!

You made such nice outfits for all of us!

I guess it's different when you're really aiming to be a designer!

Huh?

Oh... I guess so.

Hayacchi! Gimme New Year's money!

Later.

You're gonna do it?

Hey, save the fortunes for after we pray at the shrine.

Aw, it's fine!

Happy New Year.

Hey, second generation! Let's have another good year!

Happy New Year.

Following your first shrine visit with your first maiden?

What?

You well-endowed beast, you!

Don't start the new year off with such idiocy!

That said, this shrine is said to give matchmaking blessings.

I look forward to seeing which young lady you're fated to be with.

Uh-huh...

I'll be asking for good business first, though.

Romance, huh?

Mitsumine Shrine

Maybe if I had more time and energy to spare...

Hey, guys, what did you pray for?

My grandma's health!

For our café to be successful, and that sort of thing.

Um... Well, for my mom, I guess.

Same for me, pretty much.

You, Ouka?

Oh, me?

That the five workers at Familia can work together in good health.

Hey! You left me out of that, didn't you?

Also, I appreciate your concern for the café,

but what plans do you guys have for the future?

No need to worry about me. My plans are going fine.

I've been getting some gigs on the weekends lately.

I'm thinking of joining the college theater club this year.

As a sort of rehab.

As for me... As for me...

I will continue to protect the peace in this town!

Justice!

Ami, let's have a serious talk sometime.

I prayed that, if it's okay with you, Hayato-kun...

I want to keep working at Familia as your wife.

Okiku-chan?

Why don't the three of us talk that over sometime?

What about you, Ouka-chan?

Huh?

Well...

For now, I'm just gonna try my best at all kinds of things.

What does that mean?

Surprisingly vague, for you.

Hey, since we're here, let's take a walk before we head home.

I'm in!

What're you doing, Ouka? We're gonna leave you behind.

Oh... Right.

Episode 24: "The Last Pilaf"

Episode 24: "The Last Pilaf"

What development awaits Ouka in the finale?!

Hit by a truck?!

Oh, yeah, that hasn't happened yet.

Given the pattern, she's next.

We won't forget you, Ouka-chan!

Why are you all just accepting this?!

I don't think the original story had a—

Wait, it's me?!

We're using a truck that won't hurt you if it hits you!
