In the salon at Café Liebe, Mitsuki orders table number five, then passes it to Hime, and she calls Nene will order it in the kitchen, but she confuses it as number six, instead of five for the right order. It looks already ordered number six for the same number and Hime reminds her that the table is number five. Mitsuki strictly asked Hime to double-check after she copied the order and shorten the menu names on the slip, thus Hime could not learn anything.

At school, Hime talks about her Onee-sama keeps nagging at her. The students beg her to fit her, but Hime is not good at motor skills and not interested to join any clubs. The students might her to join as a trial member or just to observe; Hime already declined other clubs that offered the same thing. Then they will have no choice, Hime is glad her senpai asks her to join the club, and good luck with them for the club recruitment. The students will do their best for their club. Her classmates wanted her in her club, but Hime was already been invited by them. She would like Hime to join the club as soon as possible. Hime glances them at how they should be and imagine when she walks herself without glancing.

After school, Hime still talking that Onee-sama just kept nagging her and goes to Café Liebe. She glances at the mirror against her perfect façade and makes weird at Mitsuki. Mai asks them for the opening time soon and Hime is ready for the job; she asks Kanoko for done changing, but she is not yet changing, then Hime will go first. Hime will show her that her façade is unbeatable.

When the café opens, Hime servers the customers brought towels and some iced water, and they discuss her about became Schwestern with Mitsuki. A male customer wants to order, and Hime asks them to talk slowly to get an order. They can say slowly and clearly to understand her and the customers will cheer her. Hime asks her if she was watching them and then nothing at all. She is her best at serving and glances at Mitsuki for doing her job properly. Sumika talks like a gyaru and as a third-year, she leaves the salon to all of them, Hime stares at her when do not like a gyaru to her. Mitsuki tells Sumika not too much to sit there and read and Sumika is just in the mood for reading today; Hime thinks they about the topic switched that way. Hime needs Onee-sama to do Tachibana's part as well and will do as her little sister and need to be a bit calmer, Mitsuki said. She wants her to look at herself and tells her when she did her job, then praises herself. Mitsuki squeezes Hime over her chest and is spoilered and admitted at her, thus Hime blushes when pointing to Mitsuki's chest. She guesses her cuteness can be defeat Onee-sama which is quite impactful in her own way and Mitsuki will not nag at her again.

After closing the job, Mitsuki happens at Hime at the salon today and makes her just makes worry that Hime will make another slip-up. Hime wants to get along with Mitsuki, Sumika talks to Hime to hide her embarrassment and Hime is Mitsuki's little sister as being spoiled is part of her job. Mitsuki mistakes Sumika if she spoils Hime and she is just going to make another slip-up. Hime does not have any mistakes according to Sumika and Mitsuki does not praise her, then Mitsuki has a wrong idea for Sumika; Mitsuki did great with her little sister and talks again to Sumika. Kanoko talks to Hime, but she is surprised by Kanoko because she does not realize her, knows her how Mitsuki just acted for now and loses her façade.

Kanoko talks weirdly about Mitsuki as a bad person and might get angry at Hime. Hime guesses Mitsuki is the exact kind of person, and she will not be able to be "liked by everyone," but Kanoko is afraid of Mitsuki when she is just weird, and Kanoko will change first.

In elementary school days about Hime, her former classmates love her, and Hime loves everyone by herself. However, Mitsuki tells them that Hime is a lie because Hime does not love everyone, playing with her, and always hanging out with people when Hime does not like is a hassle. Thus Hime will break her façade, the classmates will not invite her and do not react to her when Hime greets them to say "good morning." The classmates already remembered her that is a lie and then no one must find out her façade. That is because Hime cannot let even those people hate her and she has to be loved by everyone, just like Mitsuki. She talks about Kanoko had never known her in elementary school days.

Back in the staff room, Hime asks Kanoko to be done changing and she might get mad at her. Hime makes stress trying to make everyone like herself and just like usual, same as Onee-sama. Kanoko calls Hime without changing and Mitsuki opens the curtain and stares at Hime; Hime remembered from her elementary school days.

The next day, Hime and Kanoko will have no other choice and sneak to Mitsuki, then Sumika speaks to greet them. Mai warns Sumika to put down her feet and Sumika talks to them like a scary senpai. Mai remembers them that need to act like a student of Liebe Girls Academy, then greets them; Hime will look forward to working for the day.

Before opening a café, Kanoko thought Mitsuki did not tell them, because bad people would tell her that is a liar and that it would change their attitude toward her. Kanoko might happen, then will protect her when if they found out, there is no matter what they say; Hime thinks that is too much burden for Kanoko. Mitsuki saw and tell them to change their clothes and should not be at a salon in their street clothes. Kanoko thought Mitsuki did not tell anyone and is even acting normally, then Hime sneaks at Mitsuki while cleaning the table.

After opening the café, Mitsuki serves the table that an "Earl Grey" is not a variety of tea leaves, but it has been flavored with bergamot. Sumika indeed Mitsuki for very studying a lot and her guidance is always spot-on, Mitsuki agreed that those handling the salon, after all. Perhaps she asks Sumika can take her duty more seriously, but Sumika thought that is not cute of her. She touches Mitsuki's chin to tease she looks perfect and not just cute.

Hime thinks of them they are the same dazzling performances as usual and does not seem Mitsuki told anyone and they are working as usual. She cannot let her guard and still does not understand Onee-sama. Mitsuki wants to help Hime to carry that, but Hime is fine and Mitsuki carries a tray with only one hand; she despairs Hime to do her little sister's role properly. Hime thought her again that nagging is the same as usual and she might be planning to do it. The customer calls Hime, but she did not respond to her while carrying a tray to the kitchen; while Mai is watching her on the security camera and is a bit worried. Mitsuki calls Hime three times and Hime seems a bit nervous, but she already knows her in her elementary school days and puts on a façade.

Sumika thought Hime and others are still first-years and it is only natural that they get a bit distracted at times. Mitsuki thinks for Hime will not be able to serve at the salon and Sumika might have to help Hime and just show the cute face that Hime always wears. Hime thoughts Sumika does not know her façade, but it is true and there is a chance she already knows but is always quiet. Mitsuki tells Sumika that spills the truth and Hime thinks Kanoko is doing it. Mitsuki asks Hime to come.

Mai has decided Mitsuki pull Hime out, and Hime is not doing her work properly and kept spacing out today, and Mitsuki will head back to the salon immediately. Mai will cover some duty of Hime and can at least help Nene from the pass-through and guides Mitsuki's little sister. They need to sit down for a talk, while at the salon, Kanoko looks for it, the customer likes to order and Kanoko will order for him.

Hime explains to Mitsuki why Hime pulled out of the salon and Mitsuki told Hime to stop acting already. She knows that Hime is a liar and is the only one to ask Hime. Hime thought she might tell others about the things yesterday and Mitsuki will not tell anyone. She thinks Hime is all right about going back to the salon and Hime just keeping a façade, but she is acting like the normal thing. Then Hime asks Mitsuki if she has not changed her attitude towards herself and Hime has been acting all the time. She might even have lied a couple of times and Mitsuki never changed the way. Mitsuki does not know yet which of Hime's words to believe. It is not that Mitsuki has not changed her attitude and did not know how to act. Hime understands Mitsuki just like how there are things and she does not understand Onee-sama, then that does not understand for Hime because she is using her façade. Mitsuki never told anyone else about it in her past days and Hime will now understand that she for a good person. The part about wanting Mitsuki to like Hime is not a lie and is different. Hime was scared others would find out when she acts and told about it to someone in her class and that person told everyone that she was a liar. Because she went through many horrible things. Hime should not have told her someone is terrible; Mitsuki forgets her about that person is Mitsuki **Yano**. Hime recognizes Mitsuki's real surname and Mitsuki gets a school ID and shows her real name. Hime now remembers her from her elementary school days.
