In this episode, Sarasa offers her usual welcome to Kira while wearing her waitress uniform, though her cheerful tone cools at the sight of the energetic Kasuri seated beside him. Growing wary of their closeness, she resolves to protect their intimate connection before any rival can interfere. Drawing him aside behind the restaurant blinds, she guides Kira to a quiet sofa and presses forward with a teasing, dominant display meant to remind him where his true affections lie. Her confident smirk signals the start of a private contest for his attention.
