Synopsis[]
The girls pay a visit to the local swimming pool while Sharo struggles to cope with her anxiety now that the others now her secret. Later, they go see a movie after Chino obtains tickets.
Summary[]
Rize comes into the room to find a hyper Sharo wandering around. Chiya explains that with Sharo being so down when the others found out she's actually poor, she came up with the "Caffeine binge tour". She's already been to two other places, and while Sharo appears to be in a great mood, Rize is concerned over her. They watch the girls play and Rize thinks about herself being more lady-like and wonders if she would fit in better.
After a long day of work the girls pay a visit to the Hot Springs pool. They leave Tippy in the hall and get changed, complimenting each others bathing suits before locating Rize, who is in another area of the locker room. She ties her hair back with a band and lends a hand with Chino and Chiya's hair. Sharo feels envious due to her hair being cut short, and she watches as Rize becomes flustered when the others praise her.
They head into one of the pools, with Sharo and Cocoa sitting at one end, while the trio sit on the opposite. The five girls -along with Tippy- enjoy their time relaxing, but Chino gets uncomfortable being between the two bigger-chested girls as they get closer to try encouraging Tippy to join them. It isn't too warm, so they think it would be fine. She joins Cocoa and Sharo for a while before heading off to play chess with Tippy, remarking that its only their group there at the time. The other four begin to swim when Cocoa offers to show Rize how to swim in the deeper pool, but her skills are unimpressive. Sharo suggests they do some stretches before anything else, which leaves the girls impressed with her flexibility.
Chiya decides to join Chino and Tippy and requests playing with Chino, as she's never played chess. Chino agrees when Chiya suggests they make a wager and requests seeing Tippy wet should she win. Chino agrees, then decides that if she wins she wants to be addressed as Onee-san by Cocoa. Cocoa overhears this and asks why they dragged her into it, then she suggests she, Rize and Sharo having a breath-holding contest. They agree and the trio go under, but when Cocoa lifelessly starts floating it makes them panic and resurface to make sure she's okay.
Cocoa announces she won and they angrily chew her out, then demand a second round. This time, they watch as Cocoa tries to play charades, but they struggle to understand her behavior. Once they return to the surface, Cocoa claims she was acting like Rize, who is highly offended. Cocoa gets out to check on Chino and Chiya to see their game is nearly finished, and she desperately tries to make Chino lose.
Flustered over being left alone with Rize, Sharo attempts to think of something they can do. She suggests they try using kick-boards when Rize admits she would rather try the exercise involving two people holding hands and swimming. She agrees and supports Rize by holding her hands, slowly stepping back as Rize awkwardly attempts to keep herself afloat. Sharo is surprised by this, since she assumed that Rize was good at every sport. Rize admits that she never got the chance to do much swimming. As awkward as it looks, the duo have a lot of fun- only for Rize to remark that if Sharo was to be drowning she might be able to save her. When Sharo suddenly falls over, she asks if this is theoretical training, but it turns out that Sharo got a leg cramp from her overwhelming bottled up anxiety.
The game continues, but Cocoa and Tippy make it hard for the girls to focus. Sharo watches Rize practice her swimming and compliments how well she's been doing. Rize believes its because of her help but she denies having done much, but Rize appreciates her kindness regardless.
Away from the girls, Tippy sits in a little wooden bin with three young girls surrounding him. They question if he is the pet of the owners and they poke and pull him, curious as to what he is doing there.
That evening, the girls enjoy the view outside. After they claim they can hear what is going on within each house they can see, the mood is ruined when Chiya announces one of them has a feuding couple within it. They are joined by Sharo and Rize, who grabbed coffee milk and a non-caffeinated drink for Sharo. They then go on to find out that Chino won the chess game.
A few days later at school the girls note its raining, but they have an off-day from work and are excited to go to the movie theater. Chiya recalls that a customer stopping in recently and gave her the tickets before she left, and she wants to take notes to see how the movie compares to what they do at work, given its similar theme. She starts to worry over Cocoa when she notices how sleepy she is, and Cocoa explains that she drank a bunch of coffee recently and as a result hasn't been sleeping properly. She is sure she'll be fine until evening though.
At Chino's school, Maya and Megumi notice how sleepy Chino seems to be while they clean the room. They wonder if its because she's lacking Tippy, since this is unusual for her. After they start trying to find a replacement object to put on her head, Chino reminds them to help her finish.
Rize and Sharo walk through a corridor outside while chatting about the movie. Sharo is also really tired and Rize assumes it's probably because she was too excited to sleep. But it turns out that its actually exhaustion over how much work she had to do the day before.
Eventually school comes to an end, and the three sets of friends prepare to leave. However, none of them knew about the rain beforehand and ponder over what to do. Cocoa decides to run home but Chiya stays behind, until Cocoa trips and falls into some mud. She joins her to reveal she actually has an umbrella with her.
Rize and Sharo try to determine what to do, but Rize decides that instead of waiting she will run. Sharo panics and hurriedly follows while asking her to slow down.
Chino heads home to grab Tippy and an umbrella; but she ends up not using it because he is on top of her head, beneath her school hat.
The five girls meet up outside of the theater and they discuss the rainy weather before noticing it appears to be finishing. They watch as the rays of sunlight shine through the clouds before remarking that they don't feel so tired anymore. Chiya reveals that she also felt sleepy, but decided not to speak of it. They head inside, where Cocoa offers to grab the food and drinks before they find seats.
As the five friends watch the movie, Chiya taking notes on various detail and Chino and Cocoa try not to cry in front of each other. Sharo regrets skipping the offer Cocoa made to get a snack because she feels hungry, and Rize is amazed over the large screen, because she's never been to a movie theater before.
Meanwhile, Aoyama approaches Rabbit House, determined to head inside and look her Master straight in the eye to speak to him. She is excited to tell him how wonderful her work has become thanks to him; but after she steps inside and meets Takahiro, she quickly turns around and runs out of the Cafe while he looks on in confusion.
After the movie, the girls chat about it as Sharo does some snacking and Rize visiting the restroom before going.
The following day while working, Cocoa recalls the various lines from the film and she is joined by the others. They bring up how much fun it would be to continue working together as they grow older, with Chino picturing this as Rize questions Cocoa's abrupt change in career plans.
