The next morning, ryota is worried about her relationship with Hiramasa. She wants to know if he can cook dinner for her, and she wonders if he could do it himself. She tells him to tell him that he can make any kind of soup. She also tells him that her mother did a lot of housework for her and that it's hard for her to do it herself. She wonders if she could do something with her parents' pensions, since she's not rich enough to live on them. She suggests that he could work for a company that deals in marine products, since he's her age and her mother is running for a municipal council position. Aww, that's a good idea. Okay, now that we're back in Hiroshi's house, we can talk about what's going on in his life. He's getting ready to go to work, and Mikuri-san is going to take a break from her housework to recover from a big toe injury. Mikuri says that she'll be taking a few weeks off to recover, so Mikuri will be able to give them updates on her health. She'll also give Mikuri some tips on how to cook dinner, since Mikuri has been making herself a stir fry for the past few days, but he'll have to wash it down with beer to make it taste good. He tells Mikuri to leave the rest of the cooking to Mikuri, who'll take care of the rest. He asks Mikuri if she'd like to ask him about the kiss, because she wants to ask about his feelings for her. She doesn't want to ask, because he acted as if nothing had happened, and after Mikuri went to sleep, he didn't act like anything had happened. She asks if she can ask him again, and he says that he wants to see her in person soon. She says that if she thinks about him all the time, it feels like they're doing something together. Mi
