Preparations are being made for the upcoming school festival. A boy and his sempai do their final inspections around the school, when they are drawn to a suspicious room. Inside the room are the triplets, surrounded by copying machines. The boys get sucked into the room on arrival, and their faces get stuck to the scanners. Nene sees Touka off in the morning, explaining to him that Momoka has left earlier to prepare for the festival. Yumiko, who has been working on her story, wakes up and decides to go to the festival as well.

On the school grounds, a strangely dressed Shouko drives around asking for people to watch her show. Momoka, who is holding a lot of food, runs to greet Touka when she sees him. She panics when she drops most of her food after missing him, and Touka is surprised to see how much she has. The “preparation” she was making by leaving early was to make a map of food stands to visit. Makoto arrives to greet the both of them, and asks if they are on a date. At the same time, Touka tells her she is wrong, while Momoka confirms that she is right. With this, Momoka decides to stuff food in Touka’s mouth as punishment. Makoto expresses that they make a great couple, getting the same reaction. This time, Momoka decides to give Touka an “attack” to the head with some of her candies.

Elsewhere, they announce the “Miss Touka High School”, a short haired blonde. Haruhiko is running a host club, and Yumiko is the guest. She asks for a refill on drinks, when the two boys from earlier arrive. They sit around her, and introduce themselves as Aji and Tepai. Haruhiko calls for more champagne, which the other boys in the club reveal. Touka and Momoka arrive at Nene’s stand, which many boys are excited over. After greeting her, Nene comes up with a good idea for the two of them. Momoka and Touka are dressed up in maid outfits to promote the event. Of course, Momoka is a lot more enthusiastic than Touka about this.

Shouko’s room is being filmed, and her first guest is Makoto. Shouko decides to “examine” her, by rubbing her in various places. In other places, the triplets have success in selling their product, and a cosplaying Asuna agrees to lick on a popsicle for her eager photographers. Momoka tells Touka to wait for a bit, as she visits the triplets’ shop. Touka turns to see the triplets talking about the way he is dressed. Touka tells them that they have the wrong idea, and goes to leave with Momoka who has been looking through the triplets’ doujinshi.

Touka drags Momoka off, and she expresses that if he wanted to be alone with her he could have just asked. Momoka looks ahead at the haunted house, and excitedly convinces Touka to go with her. After being asked which course they would like, Momoka chooses the “love love” course which has them both chained together. Inside the haunted house, Momoka is easily scared and clings to Touka. Touka is impressed with the effects they have, and assures Momoka that it is fine. A hand grabs Momoka from behind, but Touka tells her that it couldn’t have been him. After it happens again, Momoka turns to see Kikyou covered in blood. This causes Momoka to pass out, while Kikyou apologizes and disappears. Elsewhere, Shouko has an unexpected guest on the show.

Yumiko has become drunk at the host club, so Aji prepares to seduce her. However, the triplets show up to intervene before he has a chance to kiss her. Momoka wakes up in the nurse’s office, with Touka by her side. Momoka assures him that she is ok, and apologizes. Touka brings out a momo-chan bun, because she couldn’t get one herself. Momoka is very grateful as she happily eats it. Afterwards, Touka helps her get the mess off of her face, but they both turn red as he touches her lips. Touka starts to say something, but Momoka interrupts by exclaiming that she forgot something. Touka laughs and prepares to change after she leaves, but the triplets are waiting for him outside the curtains. Using the captured Aji and Tepai, the triplets generate quite a few toys and tell Touka to help them with their doujinshi.

Impression:

Touka, you are a TRAP. This episode was pure comedy. From Momoka’s obsession with food and flirting with Touka to everyone’s ridiculous events at the festival, it was hard not to laugh out loud. We are introduced to three new characters this episode, including the pretty boy/yaoi combination of Aji and Tepai (names to be checked) and “Miss Touka High School” who is yet to be named (though we know she says Niko Niko a lot). I don’t think this episode really offered us anything related to the plot though. The next episode will most likely make up for it. For now, just enjoy the pure fanservice.
