Backyard fireworks for Goddess Café Terrace. Does that mean there is no summer festival fireworks show? Hayato feels nostalgic because fireworks had always signaled that summer was close to over. Poop! Double poop! Summer can’t be over already! Oho. Akane liked that soft smile on Hayato’s face. Did that spark another set of fireworks for night maneuvers?
Gah! Hayato still talks out loud to himself. Will he never learn that’s the source of all his problems in Goddess Café Terrace? See? Akane overheard him. She brings iced coffee to Hayato on a hot night. Are things about to get hotter? Akane noticed Hayato’s big, uh, collection of books. Hoo! Short skirts and low desks don’t mix well for decency. Akane’s finger rests on Hayato’s volumes of Natsume Souseki’s works, the alleged most invincible character in Bungou Stray Dogs!
Uh oh. Akane flirts heavily with Hayato in a roundabout way. She flashes her cleavage again, but it’s not a joke this time. This is how a Japanese literature nerd flirts. Oh, that Akane. She left things vague enough to tease Hayato into an admission. Like a true wishy-washy harem master, he punted his answer into the future. Ha! She got his goat with a “tsuki mo kirei da yo” love pun. That’s Akane’s official declaration of love. She struck first from the goddesses! Shiragiku should hurry up.
Ack. The infamous Broken Bathtub ex Machina device leads straight into the bathhouse episode for Goddess Café Terrace. Riho keeps trying to upgrade her nest. Let’s get a Jacuzzi! Then she negotiates down to a modern bidet. The girls remember the last time they came to the public bathhouse. Broken Boiler ex Machina. Aw. They miss Grandma. No rubber ducky in the bath! Bar soap shuriken revenge! Oh? The last time the girls went to the bathhouse, Ouka engaged in horseplay. She turned into a maternal nag in one year.
Yes. YES! Wagashiya Acchan is back with her razor-sharp abs! How is this lady still not married? All right, all right! The boys have their share of bathhouse hijinks. Hayato is “big” in the ways that matter. Oh, Ami. Loch Ness Ami. Never change. Light bar censorship on Wagashiya! Boo! Things perk up on the girls’ side too. Wagashiya went straight for the kill shot of girl talk: who likes Hayato? At least three girls in Goddess Café Terrace know their hearts. Ouka has resisted Hayato’s brusque manly charm so far. Cough. That was hard to write. Ami loves anyone who gives her food! She’s a puppy dog! She loves Wagashiya Acchan too!
Look! The order of the girls succumbing to the heat of the bath tracks with how open they are about their feelings for Hayato. Shiragiku gave up first, then Riho. Akane can handle her burning love’s heat for Hayato! Riho is on the same page about postponing love until after the Familia Café Terrace is a healthy business. But the heart isn’t a rational muscle. Oh! Akane openly declared a love battle! Bare skin makes girls bare everything!
Coffee milk is a tradition! Because it happened that one time! No, Ami, that’s not how that works. Ouch! Ouka treats Hayato like her brother right now. Escort Riho to the grocery store, you heathen. Look at this starry night that Akane missed out on. Half-confessions for both Riho and Akane. She let her feelings out, but Hayato gave the same postponement excuse. Stringing them along like a prototypical harem master. Goddess Café Terrace paints within the lines for its narrative.
The raging fire of jealousy! We got catfights now! Oi, oi. Akane has the details wrong for a hostess bar. The guys can’t touch the girls, but it’s okay the other way around, except the girls aren’t allowed to touch Mr. Big. If you know what I mean. Akane wanted to rile Riho up. The catfight got so loud that the neighbors heard the hissing and yowling. It’s hard to be a ladies’ man, but Hayato doesn’t know anything about that yet. Yet! Ami will stop the fight with... polished mud balls. She’s a child. Good for Akane and Riho. Their intentions are out in the open. But things are clear as mud for “Mr. Ladies’ Man.”
Epilogue time for Goddess Café Terrace. What is Shiragiku looking for in Grandma’s drawers?
Next time, Shiragiku and Hayato’s pasts are revealed! And she gets drunk again for the season finale.
