In a flashback from the night before, Himari reveals that Yuto's family (i.e., the Amakawa Family) is one of the twelve Demon Slayer families that has protected mankind from ayakashi for hundreds of years, and that one of her ancestors was spared by Yuto's ancestor, leading to a vow from her kind to forever serve them. Refusing to accept this fact, Rinko challenges Himari to a sports battle (which includes running, high jump, kendo, judo and tennis), only for her to lose in all of them despite being the school's best athlete.

This inspires Shizuku to move in to keep an eye on him, to everyone's shock. The next day after being complimented by Yuto about her housework, Shizuku berates Himari on her inability to do anything else besides fighting, deeming her as unfeminine. Later, Yuto, Rinko, and Shizuku arrive at Café Relish, where Himari has gotten a job as a cat-eared maid (which sets off Yuto's allergies).
