Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?

♪ I'm serious, I'm really in love with you ♪

Huh?

Those lyrics?

That was close!

I almost misunderstood again!

(SAL Creative)

Wah...

Ugh.

Senpai.

I'm so sorry for causing trouble

yesterday!

It's fine, it's fine.

How's the hangover?

It's not a problem at all.

That's good.

Take it easy today, okay?

Um, senpai.

Did I do anything

inappropriate yesterday?

Uh...

Can't it be me?

Not at all!

Not at all!

Really?

That's a relief.

Haa...

I keep causing trouble for her.

Yes!

Got another character without a problem.

Waahh...

- This ending makes me cry! - Hey.

Still into that otome game, huh?

There’s no character

I can’t capture now.

Now I can give advice on

any kind of romance.

Call me the goddess of love.

As expected of Kumi.

Even a game can boost

your confidence so much.

How can I capture the person I like?

- Huh? - That startled me.

When did you get here?

Oh, are you interested too, Ayaka?

Yes. How can I capture

the heart of the person I like?

Ah, we're just talking about a game.

I knew it!

The key is to

make them see you in a new light!

Show them your potential

and surprise them!

Got it!

After that...

skinship!

Physical touch to make their heart race!

I never thought of that before!

But above all,

observe them closely!

Observe them?

Thank you. I'll take your advice.

Yeah, do your best, Ayaka!

Yes!

Geez...

I never thought Ayaka

was into otome games.

No, I seriously doubt that.

Alright, then...

What should I do next?

Is she really going to be okay?

(Emergency status, mission to win the heart of Hiroko senpai)

In order to capture Senpai's heart,

I need a strategy!

Hiroko-senpai's heart capture,

mission one,

make her see me

in a new light with work!

(Hiroko-senpai's heart capture, mission one)

(make her see me in a new light with work!)

Haa...

It's impossible at this rate.

Ayaka, what's wrong?

That's a lot of documents.

Yuya-senpai.

There's an opening for a PR event

for Kaedo's new cosmetics line,

- so I'm studying up. - Oh!

You're as dedicated as ever.

But it's not coming together well.

Right, Yuya-senpai,

could you give me some advice?

Sure, if you're okay with it.

Thank you so much!

That's great, you're so diligent.

Yes.

Yes! I'm on fire right now!

That's great.

Alright.

- Thank you. - Sure.

This part,

how can I make it more understandable?

How can I make

this part at the end clearer?

The part at the end...

Hiroko-senpai! Do you have a moment?

Sure. What is it?

I want you to check this proposal.

Of course.

Let's see.

My proposal...

What do you think?

Senpai!

(New cosmetics PR event August 2024)

Mmm.

It's been summarized very well.

Really?

This might just get approved.

Thank you so much!

Ayaka, you put in a lot of effort.

Did she notice me in a new light?

You worked hard with Yuya, didn't you?

Yes! Yuya-senpai gave me lots of advice.

If your proposal gets approved,

invite him out for dinner.

Huh?

Haa...

Ahhh...

Ow, ow, ow, ow...

Senpai, are you tired?

Oh, Ayaka.

Yeah I guess so,

my shoulders are so stiff.

Ah.

Senpai, can I give you a massage?

Huh?

Hiroko-senpai's heart capture,

mission 2,

make her heart race with body contact!

(Hiroko-senpai's heart capture, Mission 2)

(Make her heart race with body contact!)

This will make Senpai's heart race.

Ah, wait.

So stiff?

Right?

Whenever I go for a massage,

only really strong guys can handle it.

- Uh. - Oh, a massage?

Hiroko-senpai,

I'm really good at massages!

- Really? - Excuse me.

Wait!

Whoa!

Hiroko-senpai's shoulders

are like rocks?

Oh? A massage?

I'm super strong!

- Really? - Let me handle it.

- Wait, I... - I've got this.

Whoa! Is this real?

A massage?

Seems like you need more strength.

- Gee, it can't be help, allow me. - Should have better strength.

- Come, come. - Alright! Let's go.

- Wait. - Huh?

- So hard! - I will massage...

- Let me do it... - Is this part real?

- A massage is needed. - Everyone, keep it up!

I lost.

Wow, thanks to everyone,

my shoulders feel so much better!

Haa!

Thank you all!

- Wow! Amazing! - That's great!

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

- What a relief. - Absolutely.

That's great.

Haa...

It's not going well...

But above all,

observe them closely!

Observation, huh...

Yes, that's right.

Understood.

Three days from now, got it.

Yes, sorry.

Thank you.

- Hiroko. - Haa...

Dinner's at 7 PM at the place near the station.

Oh, right.

A lot of dinners lately.

Yeah, but you know,

I haven't had a nice,

cozy meal at home recently.

Ah, right, me too.

Ayaka, you're not leaving yet?

Risa, how to make a bento box?

Huh?

You're only capable of boiling water.

I'm only capable of boiling water.

But I want to make one

for someone I like.

Please Risa, teach me.

Alright.

Thanks.

Alright.

Haa...

Alright.

Whoo...

Hiroko-senpai's heart capture,

mission 3,

bento box.

(Hiroko-senpai's heart capture, mission 3)

(bento box)

(How to make karaage)

She ate a lot of karaage at karaoke,

so she must like it...

Besides...

Ayaka, you're good at cooking.

I made it with all my heart for you, Senpai!

Ahh...

Mmm.

It's delicious with so much love.

It's like a love bento from a wife.

Senpai!

Take that.

Alright, let's do this!

Here you go.

Thanks, Mama.

How's it going with

that junior of yours?

Mmm...

She's still making me misunderstand,

but she's working hard every day.

Huh?

That's nice.

Mmm.

Well, sometimes she's acting

weirdly close, though.

Maybe she really likes you?

No way, no way.

I'm serious!

I'm really in love with you!

No.

I don't think so.

Huh?

Huh?

Huh?

No matter how it's peeled,

it's still a an onion?

Dark matter?

Whoa!

The eggs exploded?

Huh?

Huh?

Thanks to Risa's recipe,

the taste is okay...

but...

This appearance is not okay.

No time to start over.

(If it doesn't look good, just cut some seaweed into cute shapes!)

Risa...

Done!

(SAL Creative) Hiroko-senpai.

(SAL Creative)

Good morning.

Good morning.

- Hiroko-senpa... - Hiroko-senpai! We have a problem.

- What happened? - Are you free now?

- Yes, I am. - Let's go to the conference room.

- What's going on? - This way.

- Is it scary? - No.

It's scary.

This time... Hiroko-senpai.

- Ah! Hiroko-senpa... - Sorry, Hiroko.

Can we reschedule the meeting planned

for this afternoon to now?

Sure, no problem.

- Thanks. - What is it?

Apparently, they're into

coming in the early morning now.

Whoa! Saruta-san?

It's too early.

Sorry for changing the time.

It's fine.

Haa...

Oh, by the way,

what’s that girl's name

who submitted the project?

- Oh, Ayaka-chan? - Yes, yes.

Her project was quite good.

Right? I thought so too.

Yeah.

But she doesn't smile much, does she?

- Can she handle sales? - She's fine.

She may look a bit clumsy,

but she's very serious and capable.

- I see, - Yes.

that’s good to hear.

- Thank you. - Yeah.

- Thank you. - Yeah.

Yuya, you understand Ayaka well.

Really? I think everyone does.

- Hiroko-senpai! - Oh!

There's been equipment trouble

at the Hiratsuka Park event.

Oh no! Really?

- I'll go then. - Yes, I'll go first.

Yes.

Ahh, today is so hectic.

- Hiroko-senpai! - Oh... Ayaka!

Umm... Here, I made this bento box.

- Please eat it for lunch! - Huh? For me?

Yes.

I heard you’ve been eating out a lot.

And only having jelly for lunch.

Huh? I'm glad.

Thank you, Ayaka.

Yes.

Well, I'm off then!

Have a good day.

At last...

Mission

accomplished!

Ready, set, lift!

- Alright. - Haa...

It's alright, I can handle this.

Ah, we're really sorry.

It's no problem.

- Thank you. - It's alright.

Thank you.

- Thanks again. - Ah, yes.

- Haa... - Haa...

I'm exhausted.

Thanks, Risa.

No problem.

You worked hard too, Hiroko-senpai.

Thanks for your hard work.

Alright, since we solved the problem.

It might be late but let's have lunch.

Yes.

Huh That's rare! A bento box?

Yes, Ayaka made it for me.

- Huh? Ayaka? - Yeah.

It's cute.

She worked hard on this.

Bon appétit.

Mmm...

It's tasty.

Geez...

I haven't had a homemade bento in ages.

Mmm!

The karaage is delicious!

Oh,

Yuya-senpai also said he likes karaage.

That's great.

Yuya-senpai gave me lots of advice.

If your proposal gets approved,

invite him take out for dinner.

She may look a bit clumsy,

but she's very serious and capable.

Oh, I see...

The one she likes is Yuya.

So this was just practice.

How dangerous.

It knew it was just a misunderstanding.

I'll never be hurt from

misunderstanding again.

Even though, I said that...

Senpai, this feels great!

Ow, that's hot...

Senpai, your turn for the shower.

How did this happen?

How did this really happen!

(Next episode) Working outside of the office

with just Hiroko-senpai?

Even if she couldn't see,

I'll wear my best lingerie.

This is your first time

working outside, right?

Yes.

But I won't cause trouble to senpai.

I'll do my best.

I want to follow senpai even further.

I'll work hard with everyone.

Ayaka, you've changed.

I'll lead you to a double bed room.

Can you help apply it on my back?

Oblivious straight people are scary!

Want to go together?
