Thank You For The Meal.
Episode Description:
Kureha celebrates her sixteenth birthday with Nakuru and Masamune at Masamune's house, which is soon noted to be haunted, much to Kureha's worry. However, Kureka is relieved when she receives a pair of glasses from Nakuru and a poster of Subaru from Masamune. Nakuru and Masamune act out a romantic skit of a spoof involving Kinjirō and Subaru, which is too much for Masamune to handle. Later on, the three go to the maid cafe, meeting up with Subaru and Kanade there. Kureha is happy when she is given a birthday cake and the waitresses sing her a birthday song. She recalls Kinjirō giving her a brown teddy bear for her eighth birthday. She then plays an originally developed arcade video game with Kanade, with Kinjirō and Kureha being the playable characters. While Subaru and Kanade takes her home, Kureha recalls that Kinjirō came to the playground to take her home for her tenth birthday, after a spat she had with her mother. Kinjirō played video games with her all day on her twelfth birthday, he got her ice cream at a dairy ranch on her thirteenth birthday and he burned firecrackers with her in the backyard on her fourteenth birthday. However, Kureha was frustrated when Kinjirō disregarded her fifteenth birthday for a concert event that took place all day. Realizing that Kinjirō has been there for her during her childhood, Kureha strives to be more independent. When she returns home, she is surprised that he remembered her sixteenth birthday, giving her a white teddy bear as a present to make up for last year's mistake.
