Haruka reveals that her father, Gentö, found out about her hobby and went into a rage, confiscating her anime goods but she managed to leave with her copy of Innocent Smile #1. She hides in Yüto's house alongside Hazuki, while Mika prepares a 'secret weapon' to counter their father. The next morning, Gentö arrives and assaults the Ayase house with his personal paramilitary squad, "Hell Hound". Haruka refuses to go home, and Yüto protests his disapproval of Haruka's hobby. The standoff comes to an end when Mika and Nanami arrive with their 'secret weapon': Haruka's mother, Akiho, who brings Gentö to heel and makes him leave after apologizing for his outburst.
