Therefore they have decided to recreate their childhood love by forcing Saito and Akane to marry; if they refuse Saito will be removed as Tenryu’s heir whilst Chiyo makes a silent threat to Akane. After three days of deliberating they both decide it is in their best interest to marry. Tenryu and Chiyo quickly have their marriage licence submitted and buy them a house before they can change their minds. They also warn them to share a bed or face the consequences they mentioned earlier. Despite either arguing or avoiding each other they eventually go to bed. Saito is curious what it was Chiyo said to force Akane to marry him, but Akane refuses to explain. Akane then punishes Saito when he accidentally touches her butt in bed. The one thing they agree on is they must absolutely keep their situation a secret from everyone at school, to avoid controversy. | ||||||

Saito claims she will be a good wife one day, before remembering they are already married. That night Akane hugs him in her sleep, though he admits he found it cute but this only makes sharing a bed awkward. The next morning Himari sees them walking to school together. With an exam approaching Akane goes overboard with studying and catches a cold. Half asleep she admits to Saito Chiyo promised to fund her education to become a doctor, but only if she married Saito; otherwise, she would never be able to fulfill her life-long dream. She also admits to admiring Saito, who gets perfect exam scores without studying, even if it often leaves her jealous and frustrated. Her fever worsens, so a worried Saito carries her all the way to the hospital, hoping for their marriage to possibly work out in the end. Akane recovers and Saito now finds he enjoys their arguments as he playfully annoys her. Himari jokingly flirts with Saito, causing Akane to jealously remind Saito he is married. Saito suspects he might just have the cutest wife in the world, as he realizes his feelings for Akane are much more genuine than he originally thought. | ||||||

Shise decides to visit their house to exorcise the ghost. After snooping through Saito’s underwear and books looking for porn Shise deduces the ghost is none other than herself, having been breaking into their house hoping to spy on them having sex. Despite her guilt Shise ends up staying the night. Akane notices Saito and Shise seem closer than normal cousins, uncomfortably so. In bed Akane tries to talk to Saito about babying Shise too much, but realises Shise snuck into their bed while they were arguing. Akane worries Shise might never stop interfering in their lives. After Saito falls asleep Shise tells Akane it is obvious she is jealous of her. She also points out Saito is an idiot and will never figure out how Akane feels unless she tells him directly.
