Happy Sugar Life

Shoko is surprised to hear that Satou has decided to give up fooling around with guys and start living together with the person she loves, a mysterious girl named Shio. Satou starts working more to cover the expenses of her new life with Shio. However, an incident happens at her new job.

Satou is holding a trash bag covered in blood. She tries to throw it away in the river, but senses someone nearby. The next day at school, the class president, Kitaumekawa, worries about Satou and tries to talk to her. Meanwhile, Asahi is handing out flyers around town looking for Shio.

When Asahi gets attacked by a group of thugs, Satou and Mitsuboshi protect him. Satou senses that Asahi and Shio are connected to each other through a special relationship, and is almost overcome with anger. Meanwhile, Shio starts to worry when Satou is late coming home, and leaves the apartment to search for her around town at night alone.

Shio runs into Mitsuboshi on town at night, which reawakens memories of her painful past. Shio's father was abusive towards his wife. Shio sees an illusion of her mother, who tells her that she'll never forgive Shio. Shio passes out in a park, and thugs creep up around her.

Sumire, a coworker at Satou's job, is interested in Satou and admits that she peeked at Satou's resume. Sumire becomes suspicious that no one is actually living at the address on Satou's resume. Meanwhile, Shoko goes to Mitsuboshi's place to visit him, but discovers something shocking in his room.

Shoko starts to get suspicious about Satou, and runs into Asahi passing out flyers. Satou says that she has to go to Mitsuboshi's place to deliver a notebook with a message from work, but when Mitsuboshi opens the notebook, he finds a message asking whether he wants her to let him see Shio.
