「絶対に助けるから。」
Episode Description
Returning from the beach trip, Ryou and Souma share a tender moment, agreeing to go out alone on their next day off to properly confirm their mutual feelings—Ryou excited and hopeful as she resumes work, counting down to the date. However, on her commute home one evening, she stumbles upon a troubling incident: spotting suspicious activity tied to an arsonist near a community center or building. Panicked and sensing real danger, Ryou quickly dials Souma for help, her voice trembling as she explains the situation. The call connects just as things escalate—perhaps flames or a confrontation begins—cutting off or heightening urgency. Souma, immediately alert and protective, rushes to her location with unwavering resolve. Drawing on his training and deep care for Ryou (echoing how he once saved her from her own apartment fire), he vows "Zettai ni tasukeru kara" ("I'll definitely save you"), arriving in time to intervene heroically. The episode mixes high-stakes tension with emotional depth: Ryou's vulnerability exposes her reliance on Souma, while his decisive actions reveal genuine love beneath his flirtatious exterior. Their bond strengthens through the ordeal, setting the stage for romance to fully ignite as danger is averted and feelings are laid bare.
