★ Meina goes back to Izumi’s room, surprising him because now she’s wearing a maid outfit. When Izumi asks where Hakua is, Hakua walks in too—also wearing a maid outfit, but a different style from Meina’s. Hakua’s outfit is more like a sexy and cute cosplay-style maid, while Meina wears a more classic maid uniform. Nanao, seeing both of them dressed as maids, also wants to cosplay as a maid. The four of them end up having a mini cosplay party in Izumi’s room.
★ After the three girls leave Izumi’s room, he gets a call from his little sister about Meina’s true identity.
★ Late at night, when Meina and Nanao are already fast asleep in Hakua’s room, Hakua steps out to get some fresh air on her balcony. By chance, she runs into Izumi, who is also on his balcony. Izumi tells Hakua that he already knows Meina is someone sent by the Shiragiku family. Izumi is disappointed in Hakua for sending someone from the Shiragiku family to get close to him. His tone changes, and it sounds like he’s trying to distance himself from her. The reason Izumi is disappointed in Hakua is because he’s no longer involved with his parents’ company (Sumie Group) and doesn’t want anything to do with business matters anymore. He used to be Hakua’s fiancé; they were engaged to strengthen the bond between the two big companies, Shiragiku and Sumie. So when Hakua sends Meina to get close to Izumi, he sees it as Hakua trying to drag him into the Shiragiku Group again.
