Ep. 19: Godai dan Kyoko menghabiskan malam Tahun Baru yang berujung pada kesalahpahaman dan kunjungan ke kuil.

It's New Years! The Ichinoses are heading to their relatives' house until the 4th, and Yotsuya is off to God-knows-where. Akemi invites Godai to watch television with her and Kyoko. However, this gets him scheming about finally making a move on Kyoko. When Akemi's friends call to invite her on a ski trip, Akemi accepts, but leaves Kyoko paranoid by her warnings about Godai. Over the course of the night, Godai tries making a move, but his conscience keeps getting the better of him. When Kyoko temporarily leaves to turn off the Ichinose's pilot-light, Godai yells that he "wants to do it", meaning make a move on Kyoko. However, Kyoko hears this and Godai quickly lies that he's jealous of Akemi going skiing, something he wanted to do. Kyoko accepts this and finally calms down; after the start of the New Year, Godai goes to bed, upset that he chickened out. However, Kyoko is impressed by what a gentleman he's been, deciding to "take him". She knocks on Godai's door, making him half-expect she's going to sleep with him; however, she's actually inviting him to visit the temple. Knowing that he shouldn't have expected that, Godai agrees and prays that Kyoko will be his this year. (Source: Wikipedia)
