Summary:
Walking to school one day, Junichi notices a girl with a different uniform get out of a limo and walk towards his school. Some time later, Masayoshi asks Junichi to go to the cafeteria for food during lunch break. He loses his coin purse, but the girl he saw picks it up, thinking of it as cute. While Junichi isn’t able to buy lunch, he does manage to get his coin purse back.
Junichi realizes that she’s the girl he saw, and asks her if she really is that person. Unfortunately, she runs away from him. He asks Miya about her, and by luck, she runs into both of them.
She is introduced as Sae Nakata, and Junichi is thankful he could say his thanks. A few days later, Junichi sees Sae hiding underneath a lamppost. A dog is nearby, and the constant barking scares her enough for her not to move. Both of them approach the dog, only to find out that the dog is a harmless puppy. Still, Junichi takes her to the restaurant Kaoru works in to help calm Sae down. Amidst Kaoru and Junichi making jokes at each other, Sae sees the uniform Kaoru is wearing and thinks it as being cute. Junichi suggests getting a part-time job, and asks Kaoru if the restaurant is hiring. She notes that it does, and that all it takes to get a job there is a simple test showing that the person can talk to others and serve food, things that Sae is not good at.
Junichi offers to help her, and at his house, both of them start training. The day doesn’t go well, though.
Walking Sae home, Miya decides that everyone should play piggyback rock-paper-scissors, where the loser has to give the winner a piggyback ride. Junichi turns out to be the loser while Sae is the winner.
Comments:
It’s the start of the Sae arc, and like many people, I’m not looking forward to this. Still, I thought it was funny that there was a narrator in this episode. And there is the chance that there will be more Miya, so that works.
