S1, E7: During summer vacation, Issei is working part-time at the inn, which the female inn employees are thrilled about. Etsuko is also impressed by Issei’s enthusiasm, but Seigo seems displeased for some reason. Meanwhile, Hayame is feeling down. The other girls, especially Nozomi Chiba, are suspicious about her relationship with Issei. On top of that, Seigo receives a negative feedback about Hayame from the employee opinion box and asks her about transferring to a different inn. Although she is unwilling to quit, she feels it might be better for those around her. Issei hears about it and vows to find who wrote the feedback and make them retract their statement. Meanwhile, Seigo thinks the real reason why Hayame does not want to change inns has to do with Issei.
