第31話: ひばりの誕生日パーティーの混乱とロマンチックな告白

31

Hibari and Seiji show their Christmas costumes, in Hibari's case, pink lingerie which enrages Ibari. Suzume's birthday is on Christmas Eve so Ibari plans a party. Hibari's shameless flirting with Kousaku gives Ibari another heart attack. Hibari invites the boxing club while Kousaku invites Rie, but she already has plans with Shiina. However Shiina hears about the Oozora's party and invites himself, hoping to seduce Hibari. Kousaku finally snaps after seeing Shiina upset Rie again and brawls with him. Kousaku decides he needs to tell Rie Hibari is a boy, and Hibari agrees. However, when Kousaku tries to tell Rie the truth he decides it is not worth the risk. Rie decides to go to the party with Shiina. Hibari, who knew Kousaku would chicken out, kisses him for keeping her secret. Most of the characters seen so far arrive for the party, though Ibari chases away the more perverted ones. During the dancing Suzume gives Ibari a present from all his children, a music box that plays Silent Night, causing him to cry from happiness. Kousaku has a vision of his mother telling him to accept Hibari's love, though this turns out to be Hibari playing a prank hoping Kousaku will marry her. (Source: Wikipedia)
