Ep. 3: Igarashi gives Takeda a tie while Sakurai and Kazama enjoy a Christmas dinner date

3

Igarashi donates her scarf to a child, prompting Takeda to offer his own and embarrass her by announcing it at work. Both Igarashi and Sakurai are chosen as office Santas. Kurobe advises Igarashi to buy Takeda a necktie, which she struggles to present due to awkward timing. She attempts to leave it on his desk early but panics when Kazama arrives. Later, Sakurai enjoys teasing Kazama in her Santa costume, leading Kazama to ask her out for dinner, which Sakurai accepts. Igarashi eventually gives Takeda the tie. Takeda reveals he bought her a replacement scarf. He refuses to wear the tie to avoid dirt, preferring to display it, until Igarashi insists he wear it properly.
