This Episode’s Story

The three were chatting over lunch as usual, and the subject changed to part-time jobs.
Just then, a wind brought them a flyer of an help wanted ad, and they decided to go to check it out.

The flyer was from a cake shop. They were excited to find many good looking cakes on the shelves, but then saw disturbing bloodstains on the floor.

Following the bloodstains led them to a room. They opened the door to find Sonobe, Youko’s former maid, flopping down onto the floor with something red around her mouth.
Sonobe said, as if nothing happened, “I fell asleep while eating some fruit jam”.
While eating some nice sweets Sonobe served them, they chatted for a while.
After some chatting, Sonobe approved of Youko working there part-time for her.

Lo and behold! There appeared Yamaji, delivering milk.
To disapprove of the plan, Yamaji launched attacks on Sonobe.
As their battle whether to let Youko work or not intensified, the three fled from the cake shop.

The next day, Futaba and Teru went to Sonobe’s cake shop and found Youko working.
Yamaji, who didn’t want Youko to work there, has conceded on condition that he would work there together.
Youko looked energetic and happy, maybe she was pleased to be able to work.

The following day, Sonobe came to school in a school uniform!
She told Futaba and Teru that she brought Youko a lunch. Could she possibly keep herself hidden at school until lunch time?

Highlight

A former maid, Sonobe, made her first appearance in the show.
She has such a strong character, just like Yamaji, doesn’t she?
She is quite rambunctious, as she starts fighting Yamaji suddenly and sneaks into school in a school uniform.
Meanwhile, a shocking fact is revealed; she is in her thirties!
In addition, Youko unveils in her childhood flashback that Sonobe hasn’t changed at all.
I personally love her character, and I’m looking forward to seeing her future appearances.

See you at the next episode review!
