Takanashi and Mahiru go on their "date". The staff of the restaurant fearing for Takanashi safety concoct an elaborate plan to have him cross dress so that Mahiru would think of him as a girl and not hit him. As the date comes to a close Takanashi comes to realize his true feelings for Mahiru and Mahiru receives the compliment of her life.

Whilst Popuar is pleased to finally reach the report sheet, Sōta is horrified by the thought of her growing taller. Whilst talking about the future, Aoi ends up turning a statement from Popura that she might have to leave Wagnaria some time in the future to a rumour that she is actually quitting, which she spreads to the other staff members. As the staff have their concerns over this, much to the annoyance of Maya the bird, Popura is confused by their weird reactions to her. After Maya helps Popura with her worries, the truth about Aoi's rumour soon comes out.

Souta spends the day looking after the little girl who came before, leading Popura to start feeling a little left out. The next day, Aoi comes across Haruna, seeing her as a potential mother and bringing her to Wagnaria, where the other staff try to keep her put until Otoo returns, but she somehow manages to escape regardless.
