The Truth to the Suspicion… Nazuna Works.
Episode Description:
Kyōko leaves for a business trip, leaving Yachiyo depressed, so Hiroomi offers Jun as her temporary replacement, which frustrates him until Kyōko's return. Popura tries to help Mahiru with her feelings for Sōta. Sōta and Mahiru walk home together as a first step in curing her fear of men, and Nazuna sees them together. Nazuna comes to work at Wagnaria the next day because of a report she needs to write for class. Nazuna confronts Mahiru after witnessing her usual behavior of hitting her brother, and asks her if he enjoys getting hit. Mahiru misunderstands, thinking Nazuna is asking if she likes Sōta, and responds yes, causing Nazuna to mistakenly think Sōta is a masochist. Sōta says to Mahiru that he will stand by her until he cures her of her androphobia.
