Go Ahead and Take a Shower
Episode Description:
They finally make it to Ryukoku temple and meet the potential fiancé, Kijo. Akemitsu is mistaken for a monk by a priestess and ends up attending as official matchmaker. Kijo is a genuinely nice man; making Yuzuki feel guilty so she confesses her goal was to trick Kijo into becoming her fiancé and head priest, then break off the engagement once she qualified to replace him as head priestess. Kijo is sympathetic but concludes Mikazuki temple should close. Akemitsu resorts to begging on Yuzuki’s behalf. Yuzuki panics as it sounds like a marriage proposal. Kijo agrees to a fake three year engagement so the temple stays open, but saving it from financial ruin will remain Yuzuki’s responsibility. Kijo meets with the priestess, revealed to be Ryukoku’s head priestess Aoba who manipulated the meeting after realising Akemitsu is an Akagami. Due to the late hour they are forced to stay at the only available hotel, a Love Hotel. Akemitsu struggles to repress his lechery, especially after he correctly suspects Yuzuki watched a pornographic movie while he showered. For her safety he decides drastic measures are necessary. Yuzuki becomes so worked up in the shower she convinces herself into having sex with Akemitsu, only to be disappointed when she finds he has chained himself to the wall.
