A Plan to Confess!
Honoka-san, you like Shin-san, don't you?
W-What?!
Well, well! Is that true, Honoka-chan?!
No!
There's no point in hiding it.
Most of the time your eyes are on Mao-chan, but the rest of the time, they're on Shin-san.
I see! I love talking about stuff like this.
I'll be rooting for you!
So, when will you be confessing to him?
Con...?! No, no, no!
I couldn't do it, not in five lifetimes!
But if it went well, Mao-chan would be so happy!
Mao-chan would...?
Yep! If a child's parents have a good relationship, they become confident, too!
They realise, "My parents really wanted me!"
Mao-chan... would be happy...
I guess Mao-chan did cry when Shin-san and I were fighting...
M-Maybe I'll give it a try.
Let's head off to pick up the kids, okay?
All right!
I'm back...
Hey! Welcome back, both of you! Dinner's ready!
Okay...
But...
What exactly am I supposed to try and do?
I don't know...

If there's one thing that can capture his heart, it would be your home cooking, with lots of love!
Hmph.
You'll see. It'll work for sure!
Home cooking...
Manly men like Shin-san have a weakness for devoted women.
I see!
Thank you, Natsuki-san! I'll try it out right away!
What? You already made dinner?
And it's my favourite ginger pork?!
Yep! Please, give it a try.
This is delicious, Honoka!
He liked it!
Really, though, you can leave dinner to me.
You've got to pick up Mao-chan, too. Don't push yourself too hard!
All right! Starting tomorrow, my cooking will be just as delicious as Honoka's!
W-What? I didn't get through to him at all...
...and so it was all for nothing.
My, Shin-san certainly is dense.
It would seem that "home cooking" was a bad idea, after all.
Old-fashioned.
Well, I'm sorry for being traditional!
Seems like beating around the bush won't do any good.
You'll have to say it to him straight out.
She may be right.
Good luck, Honoka-chan!
Honoka-san, fight!
Go, go, Honoka-chan!
Do it, do it, Honoka-san!
I'll do my best!
Shin-san!
Um, I...
...like you!
What?
It was no good!
I meant Mao-chan!
Yeah, I love Mao-chan, too!
Isn't that great, Mao-chan?!

I couldn't say it...
Oh...
But I've never had friends I could talk to about things like this.
So I was really happy to have you two cheering me on!
I'll try again next time!
Honoka-chan...
Fight!
Okay!
