- | *The Eavesdropping Episode? [[Kiki Reikaira|Gamu]]'s got cooking duty again and [[Ryou]]'s out washing the stained glass windows - until [[Kitenshi Kocha]] glomps him from behind when he's not paying attention, that is. After Ryou's little scare, he realizes that Kocha is now longer glowing from her experiment several episodes earlier. It is then that Kocha points out the other two Shiroganes who are present: [[Jishou]] and [[Shuugo]]. Though Ryou tried to hint at Kocha to leave the area, the perky one simply remarks to Shou and Shuu about Ryou's want of attention. Thoroughly embarassed, annoyed, and fairly sure that there is no way to make the situation better, Ryou heads back into the cafe but is followed by Shuugo, who can clearly tell that something is bothering his older brother. Gamu takes up her usual eavesdropping habits, but is scolded by a group of [[Kuroneko Satou]], [[Shirogane Masume]], and [[Shirogane Kouji]]. While Ryou and Shuu are discussing whether or not Shou is too much of a pushover when it comes to Ryou, it appears that the adult in question has also been listening in. He decides that they need to settle the issue in private, face-to-face. Shuugo joins the others who are trying to get Gamu to quit eavesdropping on people and teleports the father and son to Shou's apartment. There Shou tries to explain that he's willing to at least give Ichigo a chance, but that he's not too happy with his son's morals, among other things. While the adult is comfortable enough to take on a joking tone, it's clear that Ryou isn't really. After Ryou returns to the cafe, he comes across [[Shirogane Kumo]] who had been looking for her father. When an argument breaks out between (you guessed it!) Ryou and Gamu, Kouji takes Kumo upstairs to read so that the violence won't rub off on her. Satou returns and, together with Gamu, tries to convince the blond that he's important to a lot of people, even though he's being critical of himself. | + | *[[Cannoli]] and [[Ryou]] have an arm wrestling match while [[Gamu]] consults [[Shinga Shikari|Shikari]] and [[Shirogane Shuugo|Rune]] about her insecurities in regards to continuing her schooling, something Ryou had previously suggested to her. |
- | *[[Takaishi Sora]] is depressing himself because he doesn't have a girlfriend, and though his friends tried to help him out, it seems that his options are limited. [[Shirogane Ryou|Ryou]] and [[Shirogane Kumo|Kumo]] have decided to bond outside the cafe and visit a coffee shop and the mall, where Ryou scares Kumo with tales of rabid shopaholics. Once Sora starts hitting on [[Kiki Reikaira|Gamu]], she walks off in a brainbroken state to go stop [[Forte]] from "guarding" the cookies, and thinks... maybe if the mages are going to do what she thinks they're going to do, she can make sure he doesn't do anything about her "secret". [[Kitenshi Kocha|Kocha]] goes to apologize to [[Elizabeth Shirogane|Liz]], who doesn't remember what she did to her garden, but does help her optimize a cure for the glowing that she had been working on. Kocha takes this cure and is free of her incriminating green aura. | + | */July 2007 |
