Sogo Doma argued with Umaru about whether leeks could cure colds, while Yukino Yukinoshita and Yukinoshita Haruno cleared up a misunderstanding at the Doma Residence. Mashiro Shiina turned Yukino’s tutoring visit into the start of a friendship, leaving Haruno baffled by their growing closeness.

• Yukinoshita Haruno insisted that Yukinoshita was soft when hugged, and Sogo Doma offered to test the claim by having her hug him.
