Ep. 19: Junichi learns tea making while Rihoko wishes for club growth and confession at the shrine

19

After the festival concludes and school cleanup finishes, the Tea Club invites Junichi for tea to thank him for his assistance. During this visit, Junichi becomes interested in the practice and learns how to prepare tea from the club members. Later, while dining at a restaurant where Kaoru is employed, Rihoko requests that Junichi accompany her to the local shrine on New Year's Eve. However, when the group prepares to depart with Miya, both Miya and Rihoko fall asleep, causing the visit to be postponed until the following morning. Upon arriving at the shrine, they pray and check their fortunes. Rihoko writes her wishes on an ema Junichi had given her earlier, hoping for a successful diet, new members joining the Tea Club, and the eventual opportunity to confess her feelings to Junichi.
