Description

Super Himo Q, Ohajiki, and sometimes Maken Gumi... / Yoguret, Coconuts, and...Hotaru invites the three to a temple to try to discuss Super Himo Q, a dagashi resembling a elongated gummi worm. Tō interrupts her with a different dagashi, Maken gummies (a pun on jan-ken). He opens the package to find that he has the Paa (paper) version of the candy and then, noticing the similarities to the stretchy hand toy and with a confirming glare from Hotaru, decides to play a prank. He purposefully flips his sister's skirt up, angering Saya and causing her to punch him and send him several meters away. Hotaru tends gets back on the subject of Super Himo Q and demonstrates the different ways one can play with it. This leads to a modified game of tug of war between her and Kokonotsu in order to determine the succession of the shop. The game ends with a draw, so Hotaru moves on and tells Kokonotsu and Saya about the history of the dagashi's length while using it as nunchaku. The wild flinging causes a piece to snap off and fly into the air; Kokonotsu instinctively gives chase, grabs it with his mouth and lands on top of Tō. The four then decide to play Ohajiki in order to settle the succession matter. When Saya once again shows proficiency in a game she's never played, Hotaru brings the possibility of Saya working at the Shikada shop. She turns red at the thought as she stares at Kokonotsu. Later on, with Hotaru at last place, she pulls out a trump card, the forbidden ohajiki. It, unfortunately, slips from her hand and shatters once it hits the ground, leaving her in tears. The next day, Saya thinks about Hotaru's offer. She thinks back to a time when her and Kokonotsu were younger and played doctor with Yoguret, a nutritional dagashi that comes in a blister pack. Saya checked Kokonotsu's temperature with a hand on the forehead, but pushed him back when they made eye contact and insisted on him being doctor instead. Saya then tried to use the situation to get Kokonotsu to touch her body, but he obliviously prescribed "medicine" each time and sends her on her way. When they moved on to pretend surgery, Kokonotsu gave Saya the last piece of Yoguret as an anesthetic and sadly released he had no more left. When she tried to comfort him, they both fell over and locked hands. In the present day, Saya shakes off the embarrassing memory, comments that Kokonotsu's probably forgotten it by now and resumes her walk to the Shikada shop. Hotaru tends introduces today's dagashi, Yoguret; both Kokonotsu and Saya look away from each other in embarrassment and Saya darts off. She expresses some relief in the fact that Kokonotsu still remembers.
