Episode Title:
Christmas, Huh?
Episode Description:
Ren tells Raido it is Aharen’s birthday, so Raido asks people for gift ideas, but Oshiro thinks he is confessing and Riku thinks he is threatening her. In the end he simply asks Aharen what she wants. Aharen requests a party with her friends which she reveals is also a surprise party for him as they share the same birthday. By bizarre coincidence they gift each other identical life-sized Raido dolls. Raido discovers his middle school diary and decides to start an exchange-diary between himself and Aharen. Their entries become increasingly ludicrous until Aharen draws a picture of apple trees, which Raido misinterprets as a demonic ritual. He decides to support Aharen in worshipping the devil, only to discover Aharen accidentally gave him Ren’s homework and the picture is meaningless. Raido asks to spend Christmas Day alone with Aharen. Unfortunately they return home early when Aharen develops a fever. In her bedroom a delirious Aharen mistakes Raido for the Raido-doll and clings to him just as her mother Ai gets home. Raido manages to escape Aharen’s clutches and avoid a misunderstanding. Ai mentions Aharen is planning to attend college, possibly in another city. Raido is determined he and Aharen will stay together even if their plans separate them for a while. Aharen apologises for hiding her college plans but explains their exchange-diary inspired her to become an art teacher.
