Episode 4
Fuyu extends an invitation to Itsuki to show her appreciation for saving Tsuki from a car accident. Observing that Fuyu was only serving Tsuki fast food from the convenience store for supper, Itsuki offered to prepare dinner for them. When the food is ready, the three of them sit down to eat, and Tsuki can’t stop complimenting Fuyu on how good the food is. Fuyu asks her a curious question about when she started cooking, to which she says she has always done so. When Tsuki unintentionally spills soup on her clothes, Itsuki discovers that Fuyu doesn’t even know where the wipe cloths are, which suggests that Fuyu doesn’t know anything about her household. Fuyu then informs her that her husband is in charge of keeping up with house maintenance. Additionally, Itsuki prepared a bento for Tsuki’s school the next day before leaving. As she packs her things, she sees Fuyu following her and scowling at the last minute. Itsuki puts her bag back on the table with a smile that seems amused. Instead of going home, Itsuki spends the night next to Fuyu and Tsuki, lying there when she senses Fuyu rising. The sound of breaking glass carries her to the kitchen, where she discovers Fuyu staring blindly at the now-broken glass of milk inside the microwave. Fuyu claims she didn’t realize not all glasses could be heated in a microwave when she wanted to reheat her milk. They sit down at the dining table, facing each other, after Itsuki warms up milk for them both. Itsuki remarked idly that Fuyu’s husband would probably return soon after she revealed that her husband had left without saying anything for the first time. The next day, Fuyu talks to the team about their performance in the first online meeting and informs them that for Dynamic Dream to be awarded the project, they must receive a score of at least ninety in the second one. She also says they need to get ready because her supervisor will be flying over to personally supervise them. In an attempt to increase manpower, the team hires part-timers, but eventually, each one of them leaves, leaving the original members of the team alone. When Itsuki offers to call for help, Risa and Ayaka are inspired to call their friends in the industry. The group, having become more accustomed to one another, starts collaborating well. A few days later, Risa and Ayaka inform Itsuki that Fuyu gave them herbal remedies for Risa’s menstrual discomfort and Ayaka’s children. The two concur that Fuyu is a tsundere—someone who appears cold on the outside but is compassionate on the inside. Itsuki reminisces about the times Fuyu used to tend to her when she was ill.
