Dera arrives to “rescue” Yuru from the clutches of the Kagemori clan, but after the fierce battle and the long night, they share a tense breakfast, a truce, and lots of information. Yuru still has many questions about what all of this means for himself, his sister, and his future. The Kagemori clan offers him a place to stay with Asa, but ultimately Yuru refuses and takes up the quest to find his missing parents with Dera. He also has a lingering mission to figure out the mysteries of his ten years in the Higashi village that now seem like a farce.

In continuing to figure out their feelings and sort through their gender discovery, Hinase and best friend Shiori have a bit of a falling out after Shiori feels at fault for Hinase getting injured. Shiori decides to take a backseat and let other best friend Rita take lead, even if that means sacrificing his own feelings and having the end result of Hinase ultimately becoming male. Hinase and Ritsu walk home after Ritsu’s tennis practice, but holding Ritsu’s hand makes Hinase sweat and fill with dread just as much as holding Shiori’s hand. Hinase cannot deal with all of the chemical cocktail of anxiety and attraction welling up inside them!

Wakana Kinme can’t remember anything about her life previous to two years ago, except how to wash clothes. She runs a local specialty cleaning service that does wet cleaning, stain removal, polishing of leather, and more. Kinme even offers to pick up or drop off items, which is a popular service for her aging clients given the hilly community in which they live. After a long day of work, nothing hits the spot more than a dip in the hot bath or a hot spring, something her small town is known for.

No sooner do they arrive than strange daemons begin to attack everyone and attempt to capture both Yuru and Asa! But these daemons don't belong to the Kagemori clan, so Yuru and the Kagemoris team up to try to protect everyone from these interfering forces.

High schooler Amane lives alone in a small apartment and clearly has no life skills - he eats convenience store food or take out, rarely cleans his apartment, and seems perfectly fine mixing his clean and dirty laundry around his home. He also happens to live next door to Shiina, the class “Angel” who is perfect — she’s beautiful, poised, and put together. The two are in completely different leagues, and Amane wouldn’t dare to approach her even if they are neighbors. When he sees her sitting on a swing in the rain one day, he can’t help but intervene, causing an odd-couple friendship that brings Shiina into his messy life in the form of dinner leftovers, apartment cleaning, and inspiration to get his act together.
