SÅta arrives for his date with Mahiru though, thanks to the interference of Hiroomi, Aoi, and Popura, he ends up going dressed as Kotori. While Jun makes sure no one follows them on their date by taking the others for a meal and clothes shopping, SÅta and Mahiru go on their date, visiting a few cute places. At various points, SÅta tries to get Mahiru to hold his hand, though this gets interrupted either before they can touch, or before Mahiru tries to punch him. Meanwhile, back at Wagnaria, typically normal employee Maya Matsumoto is worried that the weirdness of the other employees is rubbing off on her. As rain starts to pour, Mahiru hears SÅta liken her to a dog. When SÅta tries to rectify what he said, he ends up calling her a "cute, vicious dog", with Mahiru getting hung up on the "cute" part. As they return to work the next day, life returns to normal.
