Despite the failed job search, Satoko wants Konoha to notice her. With that, she tries to get relationship advice from Leader/Kuro.
Konoha seems soaking wet on a stormy day, and Satoko wants to bathe with her. Sadly, Konoha refuses her to get in, leaving Satoko disappointed. Even after watching a scary movie, Konoha won’t allow Satoko to sleep in her bedroom.
As expected, Satoko becomes upset as she can’t get close to Konoha and asks Kuro to help her. After all, she must have good relationship advice, given her relationship with Yuri. Satoko wants a similar relationship with Konoha. She looks for qualities that other girls wish Satoko had. The one thing Satoko has is cooking, of course.
With Satoko’s advice from Kato, Satoko cooked dinner wearing a swimsuit and an apron. Konoha’s reaction to it seems somewhat subdued as she looks worried about Satoko burning herself. Given that she is making tempura, she got slightly burned due to exposed skin. When Satoko asks if she looks like a fool wearing a swimsuit to Konoha, she agrees, and Satoko gets upset at Kuro. At least Satoko got good marks on food as Satoko saw Konoha smiling before she blushed.
Konoha mentioned that she did a job that needed some cleanup. With that, it is Satoko’s turn to show Konoha can rely on her. After turning the body in the trash into leaves, she heads home until a ninja assassin shows up and paralyzes Satoko. The ninja assassin holds the leaves of her dead comrades as she wants them to turn back to their original forms and be brought back to the dead.
Since Satoko only knew how to turn things into leaves and didn’t pay attention in class, she didn’t know how to reverse or revive them. Thankfully, Konoha saved Satoko as she read the plans of the ninja assassin she just killed. Of course, Konoha didn’t realize that ninjas can revive people. Given that fact, Satoko decides to use all the leaves as fuel to make roasted sweet potatoes. Yep, she brought them while she princess carried Satoko, which is a sight of its own. Even Kuro and Yuri seem surprised they brought roasted sweet potatoes.
In the second half, Konoha returns and finds all her stuff turned into leaves. Satoko is trying to practice turning things stuff from leaves. As expected, Konoha got angry that her stuff was now leaving. Satoko probably shouldn’t have done it without permission. With that, she stayed with Kuro and Yuri for the night. Yep, Satoko got to see Kuro and Yuri become intimate with each other. Yuri also gives her 10000 yen to Kuro. The funny thing is that Satoko spies on her, which leads her to a pachinko parlor.
Satoko, of course, exposed Kuro, and Yuri got upset. Kuro tries to calm her down, but Yuri gets upset when she hears Kuro is also doing horse betting. However, a ninja assassin storms into their apartment. It’s Sayuri, who is most likely Kuro’s ex-girlfriend. She is upset that Kuro is with a human. Eventually, she aims for Yuri when Satoko comes in to protect Yuri. Thankfully, Konoha came in to rescue Satoko. Kuro, of course, came to hug Yuri as Konoha saved them. At least this time, Konoha forgives Satoko as she allows her to save Sayuri’s leafy remains for training.
When Satoko recalls the moment she saved Yuri, Konoha laughed. Of course, there is a girl who is looking for Konoha. At least Satoko is left off the hook as long she doesn’t do it again. At least Satoko got to sleep with Kohona together in sleeping bags. Hopefully, someday, she can return Konoha’s furniture to its original state. But at least Satoko and Konoha are closer now.

@chikorita157 I like how they tried to make it sound like the leafed girls could be saved, then the episode spends the last few minutes using them as fuel to cook.
Kind of a bummer though since Asuka and Fumiko is a nice pairing, but now they are, well fuel to cook those sweet potatoes. That is very brutal.
Satoko is a lovable idiot. Best way I can describe her. Meanwhile Konoha is slowly, and I do mean slowly, falling for her.
Again I don’t know if Yuriko is lucky to have Leader as a lover but they do make a very sexy couple.
The ex showed us Leader had a type. I didn’t expect to remember it for later but it was still good to know.
