Episode Title:
Ai's Errand / Mutsumi's Major Diet Mission
Episode Description:
Ai notices the siblings are upset, so she volunteers to buy the meat for dinner. As this is her first solo errand, Taiyo and Mutsumi secretly follow her. Things go awry when the butcher is sold out of pork, so Ai decides to find some herself by hunting Ouka Buta boars. Taiyo struggles to keep up while also carrying Mutsumi. Reaching the Benizakura Mountains just before nightfall, Taiyo disguises himself as an elderly hunter to urge Ai to return home. Ai explains she wants the boar to make her family happy. As a result, Taiyo changes his mind. Ai eventually brings it home to a shocked Taiyo and Mutsumi, who were unaware Ouka Buta boars are the size of grizzly bears.
Mutsumi discovers she has started to gain weight. Futaba and Shion are unable to offer any real advice. Shinzo's suggestion of extreme airsoft as an exercise regime is useless, as is Kengo's suggestion of enduring a 100 degree sauna for an hour. She refuses to even try Nanao's body shrinking drug. The next morning, Taiyo joins her on her daily run. Mutsumi eventually loses the weight, so the family celebrates with cake.
