Episode Title:
Princess Tsubaki
Episode Description:
Yoshino decides to visit her cousin Tsubaki, so Kirishima goes with her. Yoshino is concerned Tsubaki is exactly Kirishima's type of woman. Like Kirishima, Tsubaki keeps several lovers and has no problem including Kirishima if Yoshino does not care, exasperating Yoshino. Tsubaki also idolises Renji as the ideal man, despite him being her grandfather. Tsubaki deduces Kirishima craves attention from Yoshino in a way he does not with other women. The school suddenly calls, reminding Yoshino she forgot to submit some paperwork, so she takes a taxi home. Left alone with Tsubaki, Kirishima reveals he knows her stepfather is a Director in the Doseikai Medical Group, infamous for illegal organ transplants, meaning Tsubaki is who Yoshino approached to sell her kidney. Kirishima is confident Tsubaki cares about Yoshino too much to actually do it, so she must have faked the surgery without Yoshino knowing. Tsubaki admits she never removed Yoshino's kidney, she just took enough blood to make Yoshino sick and believe the surgery was real. Tsubaki is confident Yoshino is currently in no danger, but warns Kirishima she is perfectly capable of relocating Yoshino where he will never find her. Later, Yoshino is furious to learn Kirishima traded Tsubaki a photo of Renji as a teenager in exchange for a photo of Yoshino in a bikini.
