Oh man, that bed scene between Hiro and Nagi got a bit awkward.

Feels like this episode practically set them together to be alone. Nagi and his wild imaginations in his head were kinda priceless, but that seems to be a recurring gag. I didn't expect Saki and Erika bust in that room with officer clothes on. The misunderstanding....lol

The Summer trip is over, but for both Nagi and Hiro, they took a different route altogether to go to shrines and collect more seals. But for the Amano sisters, hearing Erika mention that Hiro would take Nagi for herself, it comes as a shock to them. And even worse, due to bad weather, both of them are staying for the night in an inn together.

Hiro is so sly, she even filled in her name as part of the Umino family to avoid suspicions and get a room together, and the arrangements are all provided to look like it's for a couple (which they aren't). Hiro in her yukata looks pretty to Nagi, though it leaves no doubt that they were gonna do "bad things" initially with the single futon in the room, which does not fly right with Nagi. Even funnier, the Amano sisters did their own policing in cosplay...to find Nagi naked, but despite mentioning that "nothing did happen", it ended on a good nite.

Another back-to-back episode to go to see how this wraps up.

God I almost forgot how dreadfully unbearable this whole overnight stay with Hiro plot was, never wanted to but still they made me relive those cringe moments once again. Though one thing to note here is how conveniently everything played out. For sure Hiro doesn’t have anything in mind when she just went off with Nagi, but weather-kun played their trick and look alone in a cottage or whatever they call it, moreover on a single futon.. but hey still all they did was some mundane conversation, some high-schoolers they are.

Well Hiro wanted to do "bad things" but Nagi was too much of a prude.

Can't let Nagi and Hiro have fun and use the night together to become closer, no, Erika and Sachi had to impersonate police officers and storm into the room to get into their way. They're both awful as usual.

Sachi and Erika are jealous of Hiro. Sachi is so bad at hiding she's jealous. I'm not sure why she's so angry at him all the time for stupid things. lol Hiro is so ugly watching this episode was so painful. I'm not surprised there was no hesitation in writing the family name as her own. Hiro tried to make a move but Nagi blew his chance, how sad. With how often they were saying bad girl and good girl it had me thinking that they were gonna get kinky or something. Poor Nagi didn't deserve to be slapped tho /:

one episode left...

Great episode! Erika hasn't had success looking for her brother.
Before Umino gets in the car, Segawa says they will return by tram instead!
She brings him to a shrine to collect a stamp.
And he prays for academic achievement only xD.
Meanwhile, Erika and Sachi are trying to convince themselves she doesn't like him lol.
And it seems there is no bus to Tokyo and they can't catch a taxi due to lack of funds.
and...

THE DREADED JAPANESE-PEOPLE KILLER COLD-INDUCING RAIN STARTS TO FALL!

Nagi texts Sachi tonight he is staying out and him and Segawa find an inn.
They have to fill in a form and Nagi sees the part about companions...
Segawa fills it in for him.
Also, I just wanted to say how much I hate Segawa! Get killed by an isekai truck!
Anyways, they share a room.
Segawa tricks the inn owner they are newlyweds lol.
Seems there is only one futon!
Nagi is scared of the lizard in the room.
Segawa doesn't seem to be and gets up to catch it but falls!
Nagi tries to catch her even though there is no reason to since she would be falling on the futon and ends up on top of her.
'Want to try something worse?'
SHUT UP YOU LOSER SEGAWA, I HOPE YOU GET REINCARNATED AS A TOILET!
Seems the 'worse thing' was just drinking alcohol.
Nagi declined.
And now the police are at the door?!!
Not really. It's just Erika and Sachi!
Now that makes me think of if there was a hakozume with both of them xD.
Sachi and Erika see Nagi half naked and suspect something happened lol.

Looking forward to the next episode!

Hiro sure likes to spring surprises huh. Still i guess shrines can be anywhere huh. Erika and Sachi's determination to deny Hiro's feelings for Nagi though was amusing. But unlucky as they were with the weather at least they were able to find a place to stay the night. The excuse that Hiro gave though sure was liable to cause heart attacks thats for sure. The stay at the inn though sure introduced a interesting side for Hiro though. Erika and Sachi cosplaying as police officers as they came to get them though was damm fun.

no way the hotel didn't ask for IDs. these plot armours.

the way they played with us during the futon scene lol. i had the same poker face as nagi when hiro said she wanted to drink, i mean bruhhhhh. but that scene was executed really well, i was like yabe wtf

it's understandable that sachi likes nagi and is in denial but erica too? does she like him too? it was never really confirmed like it was for sachi and hiro.

let's see how they wrap this up. i'm getting a feeling that this won't exactly be wrapped up anyway let's see how this goes.

2nd to last episode and it’s a Segawa episode, can’t get better than that lol. She had so many great moments, I especially loved that shot of her that panned up when they took shelter from the rain. I also gotta appreciate how “bad” Segawa is lol, it definitely separates her from Erika and Sachi and adds to why she’s my best girl, but trying to get Nagi to buy liquor was definitely not gonna happen lol, and sadly the fun time was ruined by Erika and Sachi in police costumes lol.

I know people have complained about the lack of developments in the 2nd half of the show but I’ve personally just really enjoyed this one, it’s been some pure Romcom goodness with a nice harem touch, that’s a 1 way ticket to becoming a favorite of mine.

Oh my god, i bet Hiro already give the green light, it just Nagi didn't have a ball to make a move.
That is a classic cliche falling scene.
Was hoping there will be more spicy than that, but I'll take it

And of course Erika and Sachi ruined it.
How they even knew which Ryokan they stayed?
Do Nagi phone have a tracker or something?
This shit make zero sense.

Eh, episode was ok, it had its moments. I was surprised that Hiro lied several times like it was nothing and even wanted to do more "bad" things. While I think Nagi thought she wanted to do something more sexual I think it could've led to that with the alcohol. Anyways, I'm not sure how Erika and Sachi found out where Nagi and Hiro were staying at but my guess is that Erika found out from Nagi's biological father. The pink handcuffs were hilarious and interesting to say the least. I really doubt that this will end with any kind of satisfactory closure.

Hiro took Nagi on a little detour which ended up with them staying at an inn together. Which then eventually led to Erika and Sachi coming as police officers to arrest them both. Nothing super special this episode. Also got two episodes on the same day, noice.

This sudden inn stay is one of my favorite arcs from the manga. I'm glad to see they cover this story so quick, in the anime!

At current pace, that means we probably have enough material in place for the next season already. Can't wait to see!

What made me like this episode was the possibility that Hiro planned all of this in advance. Also, why the heck is Erika jealous again? Is that "brother" really fake after all?

Nagi spent the entire night with her, Erika and Sachi are probably very jealous of that, wonder how would it conclude in the final episode.

As much as i hate the idea of a hapless, clueless guy in a harem, i hate the women who can't admit their feelings yandere and tsundere style the same way, as when i meet these people in real life, they always moan about why they didn't get x and why it was not their fault.

As much as the draw of a boring, stable guy seems for these people, the reality is he knew what he wanted at the start and despite some feelings, you know 2 people at least will be unhappy no matter what

Any time an underaged main character mentions something about drinking or is about to drink alcohol in a shounen anime, my love of disbelief goes through the roof because they’re obviously not going to, I guess that’s one of the restrictions

This episode made me possibly understand Hiro a bit more.  While she definitely has a jealous side, the biggest thing that frustrates me is how she acts.  Her reactions generally feels very fabricated and it is hard to get a good read on her true feelings.  She has this fake smile.  That combined with her lack of giving Nagi any real responses really has grown quite annoying.

But this episode, she had some interesting character growth.  First of all, her infatuation with doing "bad" things.  It was really surprising to me.  Part of it may be her interest in Nagi but I'm curious why she wants to grow up so much..

The other thing is that moment with her hand holding Nagi's.  You could tell there was a bit of fear there, fear in what Nagi was going to say or do.  I may be reading into things too much but maybe the reason she's stringing Nagi along, maybe the reason she's trying push on Sachi/Erika is due to fear and insecurity.  Maybe she's afraid to fall deeper for Nagi.  Afraid that his feelings won't be genuine and that she will be rejected after the others realize their feelings and reach out to him.  Whether that's because she thinks he is her key to changing her situation or because she just genuinely likes him (or both), not sure.  But if any of that is true, I feel like I appreciate Hiro a bit more now.  I just wish they'd share a bit more of her internal thoughts because it's all just me trying to see a positive side to her actions.

Of course Sachi and Erika dress up as police...

23 and this is what we get..
I am afraid that Segawa's role is finished here, cz its like a climax for her role..
Next and the last one is for Erika I guess..

She seduct him at bed, and yet still preparing some other route to ruin just just in case..
Its like she played him or just want to see how far he dare to do bad things with her..
Thats why she called her self "warui ko"..

Hiro in a bad girl mode almost giving me a hentai. Too bad since this is a cringe harem romcom shit ofc nothing happens. But those damn driver really do be sus right there not gonna lie. Not to mention how Erika and Sachi manage to found them out and caught Nagi redhanded naked. Looks like those driver was more than just the driver, its more like a guard that protects Nagi from doing too far with Hiro, putting like a tracker or some shit. Which was almost kinda insane, as how by their side, nothing really happens seriously. As of now...
