Ep. 25: The Hardships of Youth Are Worth Bearing

25

Shurei works with the joukan one by one with the help of Tan-tan and Seiga. Tan-tan goes to visit his dad in prison and takes him riceballs. Later he goes to see the chief of the Gyoshidai and offers him a deal to spare his father's life. While cooking, Shurei remembers what Tan-tan said about all men having peach-colored books, even Seiran. When Seiran walks into the kitchen, she asks if she could look under his bed and at the bottom of his closet. Seiran agrees, but asks why. Feeling pressured, Shurei tells him what Tan-tan said about the books. Seiran denies having any, but then Shūrei points out that he knows what "peach colored books" are. He silently promises to give Tan-tan hell. At dinner, Shurei, her dad, and Seiran talk about Seiga being her rival. Later Tan-tan and Seiran talk about Shūrei and Tan-tan asks Seiran to do him a favor. Shurei is in the joukan common room working late when a strange man comes in and offers her a peach. When she asks the man who he is, he replies "Anjuu". He then has her peel the peach for him and eats it himself. At the end Ryūki comes face to face with Riō-kun(junior). (Source: Wikipedia)
