Masahiro finds himself caught by the gang he’s been avoiding, they reveal they are aware that Masahiro has been hanging out with the bear killer- and that they are aware that the bear killer is a teacher.

The episode then switches to Kousuke observing the love letter he received from a student, and how the student referred to him as Mr. Ohshiba. He acknowledges that Masahiro never refers to him that way.

Toru explains that the bear killer has been going after all the gangs lately, and they question him on if he knows any of Kousuke’s weaknesses. Masahiro lies and says he doesn’t, as he doesn’t want Kensuke getting hurt. Masahiro gets food for the gang like he would before as their lap dog, but messes up on Yabase’s order. Yabase gets mad at this and proceeds to hurt another member of the gang.

The episode then transitions to school, Masahiro hasn’t shown up to class. Kensuke suggests it is because he stayed up too late playing games. Masahiro walks in late, and states to the teacher that he had overslept. Fukushige is surprised at his answer and how much of a “delinquent” move it was. Kensuke goes up to Masahiro at the end of class asking if he wants to get food for them. Masahiro rejects his offer, saying he said he would eat with someone else today.

Chairman suggests Masahiro is probably just stressed from working so much and that is why they flaked on him. Masahiro runs into Kousuke in the hallway, and Kousuke asks if he is cooking dinner for them tonight and he says no. He says he will not be cooking dinner for them for a while because he has work.

Later in the Oshiba house, they are having dinner and eating Miho’s bad cooking. Kensuke is worried about Masahiro and how he was acting weird. The episode switches to Masahiro at work, he is worrying about how he rejected Kensuke and told him he wouldn’t be coming over the house for a while. He wonders if he should tell Kousuke that the gang found him again and is using him. Masahiro’s boss interrupts his thoughts by bringing up that a customer who eats a crazy large amount of ramen always comes in and eats it all super quickly. This customer is Asaya and he enters shortly after this conversation happens.

Asaya is served ramen which he covers in a large amount of bean sprouts. The two have a conversation, and Asaya questions Masahiro if he is avoiding them- and asks if he knows the gang sitting outside of Shofuku Ramen. Masahiro begs that Asaya don’t tell anyone, and Asaya leaves.

On his walk back home, Asaya comments to himself that he doesn’t under Masahiro or Kousuke (how they act).

The episode switches to Kousuke at Relax Bar Mary speaking to Natsuo. Natsuo mockingly states what Kousuke sees in Masahiro and Kousuke says Natsuo can’t have him. Natsuo replies that he doesn’t want Masahiro. This scene ends with Kousuke asking how long Masahiro is going to make Kousuke wait for him.

Episode transitions to back to school, Kousuke sees Masahiro hanging out with a third year and sees this as suspicious. The friend group proceeds to walk up to Kousuke and they all seem upset about the absence of Masahiro. They stop, and Asaya asks Kousuke why he hasn’t done anything. Kousuke laughs and states that it’s nice for Asaya to be caring about Masahiro. Asaya convinces Kousuke to go and get Masahiro himself instead of waiting for Masahiro to realize he should go to Kousuke.

The scene then switches to Masahiro alone at home and depressed. He remembers memories of himself as a kid, being rejected and pitied by other mom’s because his mom was neglecting him. Masahiro states he is at his limit mentally will all the stressors in his life. Masahiro wonders to himself when the gang will stop looking for Kousuke. Masahiro gets calls from Toru but he ignores them, but after the call ends someone is trying to enter Masahiro’s apartment. He assumes it is the gang, because he is avoiding their calls. Then someone breaks into the apartment via the glass backdoor- this person is Kousuke. Masahiro panics over why Kousuke is there, that he isn’t supposed to be there.

The episode then shows the gang and how Masahiro isn’t answering the phone, they decide they will have to go to Masahiro’s apartment and check on him themselves. This is where the episode ends.
