2

Rikka discovers a stray cat she identifies as a chimera but cannot keep it in her apartment because Touka is allergic to cats and Yuuta refuses to take it in. Yuuta feels nervous around class president Shinka Nibutani, and the situation becomes more awkward when Rikka appears. Later, student Kumin Tsuyuri asks about the cat because she lost her own. Yuuta and Kumin visit Rikka’s apartment, which is filled with oddities, but the cat is not Kumin’s. Touka punishes Rikka for bringing the cat inside and demands Yuuta get rid of it, threatening to expose his chuunibyou behavior if he refuses. Rikka runs off with the cat while Yuuta takes the audio evidence to escape Touka, but they are both caught. Yuuta eventually agrees to take in the cat.
