After some time, all of them went to the onsen to take a nice bath. Emiko split up with them because she is a female and have to go to the female section of the bathhouse.
Then, as Tohru looked at the framed picture of her mother, Emiko joined in, greeting her, "Hi, Tohru-chan!"
Tohru then turned around and saw Emiko coming with a bath towel on her head.
"Emiko-chan?" she responded to this.
"How are you, Tohru-chan?" Emiko happily asked her back.
At the same time, at the male section of the bathhouse, Masayuki and Handa entered into the hot water, greeting Kyo, Yuki, and Momiji.
Kyo, Yuki, and Momiji then looked at the duo.
"Masayuki-kun?"
"Mr. Honda, what are you doing here?"
Coming to them, Masayuki responded back with a smile, "We're here to relax and to celebrate White Day."
"Hey, big brother!" Handa greeted Kyo.
"Handa-kun? You're with them?" Kyo asked back. "How about Emiko-chan?"
"Oh, she's with us," Handa replied back.
"Wow, this is gonna much more fun," Momiji commented delightfully with a German accent.
"Hey, Momiji-kun!" Masayuki greeted him in response.
"Who are you?" Momiji asked back.
"My name is Masayuki Honda," Masayuki introduced himself to Momiji. "Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you, too, Masayuki-senpai," Momiji responded back happily. "Are you in high school?"
"Yes, but I'm restarting first-year and transferring to Tohru-chan's school."
"I see."
After that, Kyo asked Masayuki what Tohru's family would say about their trip.
"Oh, we told them that we're going on a trip," Masayuki honestly answered back, "and they had no problem about that, as long as this makes us happy."
"Okay, so that's your basis?" Yuki asked in response. "How about Miss Honda's other cousins?"
"Well, they don't like me wasting money for my education," Masayuki responded back a bit seriously, "but I don't care, because I will learn from my mistakes."
"I see."
Meanwhile, at the female section, Tohru asked Emiko what she was doing at the inn.
"We're here to relax after a hard, final exam," Emiko positively responded back, "except that big brother had taken a transfer exam to be at your school, Tohru-chan."
"Oh, I remember now. He's going to take a transfer exam in order to get to my school, right?"
"Yes, and he was in first place."
This causes Tohru to be delighted by it.
"Wow, congratulations to him."
"Yes, and he's going to attend your school by April," Emiko replied back in response.
And then, a woman, which turns out to be Ritsu Sohma's mother, joined in with them.
"Oh, ma'am!" Tohru greeted her.
"Who's that?" Emiko asked a question.
"Oh, this woman was running this inn," Tohru answered back.
"Oh, nice to meet you, ma'am," Emiko responded back.
"Nice to meet you, too, dear," the woman responded back to Emiko.
After that, Tohru and that woman had an interesting conversation and Emiko was listening to it. It went smoothly, but then, suddenly, Tohru asked the woman what animal of the zodiac does Ritsu belong to. This causes the woman to make unnecessary apologies to Tohru. While Tohru kept apologizing to that woman, Emiko freaked out and tried to intervene and said, "Please, calm down, ma'am!"
Masayuki and the other boys heard this nearby, and Momiji commented positively how those females are having fun.
"What in the…?" Masayuki commented.
"What is going on there?" Handa asked in response. But, Masayuki had no idea that it was Ritsu's mother who was yelling and apologizing to Tohru.
Not long after, Tohru, Masayuki, and the rest of the group, in their yukatas, are going to the gaming/entertainment hall of the inn to play some games. But the options were very limited so Masayuki and Emiko, having playing basketball since young, had nothing to play. And then, Momiji asked Masayuki if he can play ping pong.
"Sorry, Momiji-kun," Masayuki responded back honestly, "I can't play that. I don't know how."
And then, Kyo, determining to win against Yuki, hit the ping pong ball once more towards Yuki, but the latter won't budge. Then, fueled by persistent comments from Momiji and Tohru, Kyo snapped and flipped-folded the ping pong table, and told Yuki to fight him literally, even though Yuki said to him that he is the one to suggest to play ping pong in the first place.
Watching this scene, Masayuki thought in commentary, "Wow, it seems that they're having fun, I guess."
Later that night, Masayuki, Emiko, and Handa are star gazing at the gardens when they saw Tohru and Yuki having a love-like scene together.
"Woah, they're like as if they are falling for each other," Handa commented.
"Yeah, me too," Masayuki agreed with a nod. He then jotted the description of this scene in his journal.
The next day, before leaving the inn, Tohru asked Momiji what grade he will be in. Momiji then responded with a no in German and said that he will be starting high school at Tohru's school alongside Hatsuharu Sohma.
This shocks Tohru a lot, and confuses Masayuki and Emiko a lot. Kyo then angrily asked Momiji why he and Hatsuharu Sohma would secretly apply to their school.
"To surprise you!" Momiji positively responded back.
And then, Masayuki asked Yuki why Momiji was going to start high school even though he looked so young. In response to that, Yuki explained to him and Tohru that Momiji and Hatsuharu are about the same age as each other. While Masayuki and Emiko get what Yuki had said, this only shocked Tohru even more and more, prompting Masayuki to try to calm her down.
