## Summary

At the Ichikawa House, Kana suddenly proclaims that it will be Kyoutarou's birthday in one day, two hours, and thirty-six minutes. She says that they should throw a party, while their mother suggests making sukiyaki with some of the meat they got from their tax rebate. He shuts down the party idea, and Kana gets up close, asking if this year might be different for some reason, and suggesting he might hang out somewhere else. He replies with a negative, saying that Yamada is busy with work, to which Kana reacts with shock because she didn't even say anything about her. He covers his face in embarrassment, and tells her that Yamada doesn't even know his birthday, and that he has no plans of telling her about it. Kana suggests a bit where he does a compatibility reading with her by comparing their birth dates, but he calls it a disgusting skit. He makes the excuse of having cram school after tomorrow and heads to his room, still running Yamada's request to call him "Kyou" through his head. Suddenly, a voice whispers "Anna" into his head, and suggests that he should call her that. He turns to see Nigorikawa, now with black wings, and introduces himself as "Lucifer Nigorikawa," his true libido. He calls him the biggest nuisance, as Nigorikawa grows to hit the ceiling, declaring that he grows according to his lust, to which Kyoutarou asks if that just makes him his dick. At that moment, his sister enters his room, asking about presents, and Nigorikawa shrinks down to a baby-like form.

Later, Kyoutarou is on the train heading back to his house, and looking over messages from Yamada about the Sakura trees at night. He asks if she's outside, and she replies that she's on the train, and is done with work for the day. They agree to meet up, as he goes over how special the day is for himself, and he might as well indulge. They meet and she playfully hits him in the arm, and he asks if she always goes home alone. She replies that she does as long as it's not too late, and that then she'll have someone pick her up. He says that it's dangerous, but she says "same goes for you, Ichikawa." He begins to argue further with her, but suddenly realizes that she referred to him by his family name, and begins wondering if he messed up by not replying to her about the name change. She begins small talk about cram school, but at that moment he becomes aware of someone behind them by the sound of their footfalls. Kyoutarou turns around, and sees a figure hiding behind a light pole. She asks what is wrong, but he brushes it off, and they continue, only to realize the footfalls have continued, and he realizes that the person is coming right for them. Fearing that someone has come to attack them, he curses his short stature and thin body, but in his head Nigorikawa asks if it matters, and he suddenly backs up into Yamada, pushing her against a wall, and resolving to protect her even if it costs him his life. As he does so, however, he comes face-to-face with his own father, who awkwardly apologizes as his son yells at him for scaring him. His father continues, saying that he wasn't sure if he should have called out because they were on the same street. Suddenly Kyoutarou realizes that he is still pushed up against Yamada's chest, and backs off of her. His father produces the cake he bought, and Yamada asks what they are celebrating, to which he replies Kyoutarou's birthday. She reacts with shock, suddenly asking if he means today, and begins fidgeting uncontrollably. He offers her an awkward invitation to sukiyaki with matsusaka beef, and she immediately accepts.

Back at the Ichikawa House, Kana greets them, ready to party. Yamada walks in nervously, while Kyoutarou hangs his head in fear of what this encounter could entail.
