==Plot==
Riding the train together, Youto shares stories about his recent life as Azusa's "dog" with Tsukiko. The two are on their way to an animal maid cafe over in the next town in order to discuss their next steps.
When they arrive, they unexpectedly discover Azusa working as a part-time maid. Azusa is mortified by their presence but is forced to suppress her outrage due to her job. Seizing the opportunity, Youto orders an animal maid service from Azusa, further adding to her embarrassment.
As the rain pours outside, Tsukiko drags Youto out of the cafe. They take shelter in front of a love hotel across the street, giving Youto the wrong idea until Tsukiko clarifies that she wants to wait for Azusa's shift to end and talk to her directly. When Azusa finally comes out however, they are reprimanded by a janitor. Startled, Tsukiko hides behind Youto, who grabs her hand and drags her away to flee the scene.
The two eventually stop atop a pedestrian bridge, where Tsukiko shares that her parents died when she was young, and she always had trouble talking to boys, often resorting to running away. However, now that she's lost her expressions, she wouldn't be able to show it even if she was embarrassed. Youto compares her to a cat that pretends to be calm even when in distress, but Tsukiko dismisses the observation.
After the rain stops, they believe they have lost track of Azusa, but soon spot her working at yet another part-time job at a construction site. Youto digs deeper into Azusa's life and discover that her wealth and aristocratic demeanor are fabricated: Azusa lives in a modest apartment in a regular neighborhood, works multiple part-time jobs, which exhaust her so much that she has to sleep at school. Youto confronts Azusa about this in private, concluding that she dreams of becoming rich and uses the money she earns from overworking herself to fund a lavish lifestyle where she can look down on others.
Azusa turns to leave, challenging him to tell everyone and claiming that she doesn't care what he does. However, Youto assures her that he has no intention of telling anyone and simply wanted to know more about her, before inviting her to a date on Saturday. After she leaves, Tsukiko shows herself, having witnessed the entire exchange. When Youto explains his reasoning — that taking Azusa on a date might help her experience the joys of a commoner's life and let go of her facade, Tsukiko announces that she will join the date as well.
On Saturday, Youto meets up with Azusa for the date, with Tsukiko tailing them from a distance. He makes questionable choices for date venues, taking Azusa to a wedding dress shop followed by a maternity clinic. This leads Azusa to believe that Youto has done something to her while she was asleep, but Tsukiko steps in and introduces herself, asserting that Youto would never do such a thing, especially not to her. Tsukiko claims that she had to tail them because she couldn't leave her perverted senpai unsupervised, which sparks a bizarre competitive exchange over who knows more about Youto's perversion.
Afterwards, the three of them head to an game center. Tsukiko immediately makes her way to the snack prize machines, while Azusa sets her eyes on a stuffed turtle from one of the claw machines. Despite making 20 attempts, she fails to win the prize and is driven to tears. Fortunately, Tsukiko steps in and skillfully wins the turtle for Azusa on her first try.
After various activities, the three of them sit down for a break. Youto enthusiastically praises the simple joys of being a commoner, though his comments confuse Azusa. Azusa and Tsukiko appear to get along quite well, with Azusa even feeding Tsukiko a bowl of chips. Observing this, Youto remarks on how quickly they’ve formed a friendship, but Azusa adamantly denies it. She claims they’re only getting along because she was tricked into coming by Youto and insists that having friends would only interfere with her life. With that, she excuses herself to the washroom.
While Youto and Tsukiko wait, the Steel King unexpectedly shows up, here to maintain discipline among her track-and-field club members. She confronts Youto, asking why he's with Tsukiko when he's supposed to be recovering from his pervert disease. Tsukiko declares that they're on a date, and introduces Tsukushi to Youto as her older sister.
Tsukushi demands to know why Youto picked her younger sister for his date. Youto tries to explain, mentioning that there is another girl. This only deepens the misunderstanding, leading Tsukushi to believe that Youto is two-timing. Overwhelmed, Youto grabs Tsukiko’s hand and frantically flees the game center to avoid further conflict.
When Azusa returns from the washroom, she discovers Youto and Tsukiko are gone, and is then approached by two people calling her "Little Bean." Realizing that they left Azusa behind, Youto and Tsukiko return to the game center, finding Azusa in an uncomfortable interaction with her former classmates. He acts coldly towards Youto and Tsukiko, believing that they had planned to set her up and deceived her with false kindness.
