Coming for a Late Summer Visit

Touma regrets not being able to go to the beach and Kana tells her that a full summer consists of no regrets. She puts Touma in Chiaki's frilly swimsuit while Uchida says she would like to go on a trip. As Chiaki and enters and complains about her swimsuit, Kana and the girls plan a trip, which ends up as a regular sleepover. Since Chiaki, Kana, and Uchida cannot go to sleep, they wake up the others to tell ghost stories. Kana gets a toothache and is unable to redeem and eat her free popsicle. She gives it away only to have it come back to her. When she finds another free popsicle stick in her desk, she redeems them both and gives the popsicles to her sisters. The girls use the excuse of a mosquito to hit each other but it turns back once someone really does get bitten. Takeru treats the hungry sisters and their friends to a sushi buffet and limits them to 10,000 yen per person but Chiaki accidentally orders too much. Haruka comes home from shopping and Takeru asks her to go out to sushi as well after seeing her sad. (Source: Wikipdia)

Vegetables with Your Merry Friends on Your Day Off

Hosaka attempts to host a barbecue for Haruka and his "daughters", Chiaki and Kana. Realizing that he can't have a barbecue with only themselves, he decides to ask his friends to join him but they all say that they won't be able to make it since they are attending another barbecue. Natsuki asks him to join them but he denies, exclaiming that there is no point in that. This barbecue happens to be hosted by the Minami family. Haruka tells Natsuki to grill the vegetables first as it will even seem delicious to a hungry Chiaki. She eats her vegetables and goes to thank Natsuki, calling him the true God of Fire. Afterwards, she sees Haruka feeding Natsuki a piece of meat and Chiaki takes back her compliment, interrupting them. It turns out Natsuki also prepared grilled potatoes and Chiaki again admires him. Chiaki and Kana talk about how their friends have been talking about a dance from a TV show that made anyone like vegetables. They tune in to watch the program and afterwards, Chiaki demands Kana to make her some vegetables. More and more people watch the show and all become brainwashed into loving vegetables. At the supermarket, Hosaka sees sausages next to the vegetables section that are free for sampling and decides to try one out. Chiaki decides to follow his example and after tasting the meat, they both return to normal and wonder why they were buying vegetables. Chiaki goes back home to see Haruka watching the same TV programming and she asks Chiaki for vegetables. (Source: Wikipedia)

We Started Living Green

Takeru comes by and Kana persuades him to take them out to dinner. Chiaki is sick and has not come to school. Makoto and the rest of Chiaki's friends bring healing gifts to Chiaki and end up making sukiyaki with the ingredients. Mako-chan is invited to her house by Kana. It is Pajama Day in the Minami-ke residence and with Kana nowhere to be found, Mako-chan has to protect his identity by himself. He starts questioning whether it would matter or not if he was found out but changes his mind when he sees Haruka in her buttoned-down shirt. Mako-chan urges everybody to go buy sweets just as Chiaki asks him to sleep with her. (Source: Wikipedia)
