This episode had more emotions due to revisiting the past and realizing what loss means. 

There's also more background storytelling about family including the Kuga's family grandfather and Shiori's grandmother. Felt like this episode is a lesson to always treasure those who were close to you. Luckily, the Kuga family has Shiori in their lives now.

I wonder when we gotta see more of the family relationships of the islanders and mainly the Princess's family. Like, the chill episodes are fine and all, them growing closer together and all is nice, but isn't this a fantasy/sci-fi ?

Where are those parts, halfway in, and its only have been pieces.

Another wholesome episode seeing having fun with each other at the picnic was great and it's so nice to see everyone except them as a couple

A visit to the Kuga grave because of the grandfathers passing, he sadly passed away from illness. A picnic after the grave and there's also some backstory of how Shiori's family does when someone passes away, its beautiful to watch the starry sky and think about that person, rip her grandmother. It was wholesome from Kuga to say that he wants to stay with Shiori for a long time.

Shiori got a fever and Kuga was sitting next to her for the whole night, hopefully he's alright. Kuga is about to leave but Shiori surprises him from a behind hug and they hug each other, that's cute. Machi and Fumio were concerned as well about her fever. Emotional and Happy episode.

It’s time for a grave visit, and I believe Memorial Day is soon as well which can be considered good timing lol. I felt bad for poor Machi talking about her dad and tearing up a bit, I sometimes forget Ichiro isn’t their dad but he definitely does a good job taking care of them. But it wasn’t just sadness, we also got to see Ichiro introduce Goshiki to his dad which was a sweet scene, which was then followed by some funny imaginations by both Goshiki and Ichiro lol, Goshiki’s was especially cute.

And now it’s Goshiki’s turn to get down with the sickness, and like Goshiki did for Ichiro before, he returned the favor by taking care of her and ended up staying next to her all night, which got a good reaction from Goshiki upon waking up lol. And lastly poor Chibi, but this is a classic example of you snooze you lose since we haven’t seen her have much interactions with Ichiro up to this point, but I think it would be an interesting side story to see her get with someone else down the line.

Shiori's head-over-heels with Ichiro, though their next destination is their father's grave visit, something that she is completely foreign with, that Fumio and Machi will not let go of her hands with.

Visiting the Kuga family grave with the siblings, Chihiro and Shiori, everyone offers their prayers, then it's off to the usual picnic. Though Chihiro has reservations on Ichiro, she does not think of him more than a big brother, as the siblings reminisce about their deceased father, and Shiori's tribe annotating a funeral under the starry sky. Ichiro forgetting to offer manju buns to his father, and Shiori follows suit even before Fumio can locate her.

Ichiro sharing his family's story to Shiori, and even as he finds it difficult to tell her, the sentiment is that he's a happy-go-getter who likes to share the good things in life, such as his new relationship with Shiori. That really set both's hopes up for a legit road to marriage, but Shiori herself has fever which Ichiro hasn't had any idea on how to cure aliens like her. The best way is through the usual porridge, though she demands Ichiro's presence to watch by her side. Thankfully, she is well the next day, and as Ichiro was about to walk out, they surprise each other with a hug, that's cute.

Fevers are generally not a good thing, but this one is.

Goshiki being like Kitagawa Marin and all those sweet moments just set things a level higher for these two.
Along with the Kuga siblings reminiscing their moments with their departed father, it looks like Chihiro harbors some little feelings for Ichirou all this time so I guess it kinda stung when she confirmed that they are a couple now though I don't know how that will work otherwise, given that they are cousins or non-so-distant relatives 😅
Overall, another nice, balanced and wholesome episode.

Also, it looks like by the time this season ends, the source manga will also be concluding too (by June 2023). Might pick up the manga after this season finishes.

It was an okay installment that didn't quite live up to the greatness of its previous episodes, but it also wasn't a complete letdown. I would rate it three out of five stars, capturing my lukewarm feelings about it.

For a romantic anime with an already established relationship there's a severe lack of romantic moments between the couple. At least they hugged. But the way they blush and gush like school-kids is a bit of an eye-roller for me. I get that it's a first time experience for both of them and anime leans towards wholesome most, but come on... Just get them on a proper date or something. It's almost painful to watch.

Shiori and Ichirou have now become more closer but still shy but nonetheless it was a good and calm episode.

Just a few more and these two would kiss!
the other romance show BokuYabai is still a long way before kissing but romance factor of BokuYabai is a bit higher compared to this show.
4/5.

by the way, is it a coincidence that BokuYabai also has sickness (colds) topic? lolz

Shiori ended up tagging along for the Kuga family grave site visit and apparently caught a fever. The fever resulted in Ichiro spending the night in Shiori's room in a sitting position (how the heck did he sleep the night in that position?)

Anyways, this episode was a little slow but there was a bit of progression with both Shiori and Ichiro hugging at the end after Shiori recovered. I still wonder how Shiori's mother will react to their relationship as they showed her briefly in a flashback and she looked a bit distant.

Poor Chihiro, convincing herself that she did not feel anything for Ichiro nor did she see him with different eyes, but the truth is that there is no way to compete with Shiori, she is already imagining a near future together as a married couple in her head haha.
PS: And the truth is that I have the same doubt as Ichiro, does Shiori materialize her tail when she wants or how she does it to sleep on her back? and if she pricked her finger at the time, she must be relatively rigid, so it wouldn't be so easy to bend her, right?

She got so embarrassed that she caught cold lol. But then again as Shiori said, the cold was a good thing after all. From sleeping next to each other(in a sense) to hugging one another in the end, the cold was nothing but a blessing in disguise xD

Also hey kids are sleeping next room so make sure to do things in a lowkey manner( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
