Summary[]
At Ichigo-Pro, Kana complains about Aqua and Ruby's upcoming kiss scene and asks how Miyako feels about it as their parent, to which the latter replies that "it's complicated". Mem-Cho chimes in that a scandal like a "rising idol kissing her brother" might actually get more people to watch the movie. Kana wonders why Ruby even agreed to this and Mem-Cho reveals that she has already asked her; Ruby claimed to only be doing it out of obligation but could not hide her excitement, much to Kana's disgust. Kana then questions why Aqua included such a scene when he wrote the script and Miyako explains that it was at Kaburagi's insistence.
Miyako reveals that Ai and Hikaru's romance scenes are mostly fiction, since details regarding their relationship are sparse, and that the writers had issues storyboarding it, so Aqua approached Yoriko and Abiko. The manga artists eagerly agreed to write the romance subplot and added the scenes of Hikaru lecturing Ai on fashion and the couple's restaurant date. For the kiss scene, since he would be playing Hikaru, Aqua asked if a peck on the cheek would suffice, but the women instantly shot him down. Yoriko then explained that writers often use real life inspirations for their stories, which could end up hurting people, so they have to take responsibility.
At home, Aqua contemplates Yuriko's words but is interrupted by Ruby. While Aqua tells her that it has nothing to do with her, Ruby disagrees and deduces that it is about tomorrow's kiss scene, teasing her brother that it will be her "first time". Aqua then admits that the thought of kissing his sister makes him uncomfortable, so Ruby asks if viewing her as Sarina will help, and she will view him as Gorou. While Aqua remains uncomfortable about the idea, Ruby suggests they can rehearse right now if he wants.
