Synopsis
''With Chino angry at her for finishing her puzzle, Cocoa attempts to make amends while working on the new flyers for Rabbit House. As this is going on, a dispute occurs between Sharo and Chiya. ''

Summary
Anko corners Sharo in an alleyway when Rize shows up to stop him. She picks up Anko and together they walk down the street, but Sharo thinks about her deception and feels badly for not telling her that she is poor. She starts to wonder if being like Rize would help her become more bold, until she pictures the results and starts to panic. Her apologizing to the air causes Rize to stare at her curiously.

At Rabbit House Chino is spacing out and Rize brings it up with Cocoa. Cocoa recalls earlier when Chino refused to let her embrace her, and earlier when she ran past her and made her spill milk on a table. While she believes this is nothing new, Rize isn't convinced and brings Chino into the hallway to discuss her sudden hostilities. Chino confides in her by explaining that she was working on a puzzle and quit to use the restroom. When she returned she found out Cocoa had finished it, and a piece was missing.

Rize confronts Cocoa and she quickly denies having done anything wrong, she only thought it would make Chino happy for completing the puzzle. Rize explains that Chino doesn't seem to care about the piece as much as she does having the enjoyment taken from her; words causing Cocoa to cry with remorse. She flees the building and proclaims herself to be the worst big sister.

Later, Rize asks Chino to forgive Cocoa after expressing concern over her not returning yet. Clearly she didn't mean any harm. Chino admits that while she would like to, it would be difficult now that she gave her such a hard time earlier. Just then, Cocoa returns with a brand new rabbit puzzle for Chino and asks for forgiveness. The girls are shocked to discover the puzzle has 8,000 pieces, so they decide to give Sharo and Chiya a call to lend them a hand.

Together, the five girls sit down and attempt to sort the pieces out and get started. Seeing how intense Rize becomes trying convinces Sharo to join them and they start chatting about solving puzzles while trying to start with the edge pieces. Chiya feels a bit lonely seeing the others combining their pieces with someone else and feels bad she isn't contributing much, while Sharo gets flustered bumping Rize's hand. Chiya happens to realize the piece she has suddenly fits and happily gets between them to insert it, which ruins the moment.

Elsewhere, Tippy observes a picture of a white fluffy rabbit on the wall when Chiya's father admits that he is getting tired of looking at it. Tippy gets frustrated by the remark.

By now the girls are growing tired and have lost their focus; with the exception of Rize, who has become overwhelmed and expresses disturbing happiness when she manages to make a heart with some pieces. This worries Sharo as Chino happens to notice how intently Cocoa has been staring at a piece. She starts to approach and tries to say she isn't angry with her anymore, only to realize Cocoa fell asleep. She suddenly awakens and the girls resume, up until the point when Rize points out that they didn't put anything beneath the puzzle to help hold it together, so now they will need to figure out what to do with it.

Chiya admits that she gave it thought earlier but she couldn't bring herself to say anything, causing her to blame herself until Sharo eases her worries. The girls decide to call a break after Sharo brings up that she is hungry, with Rize expressing joy to see she has made up with Chiya from earlier. But to her surprise, she realizes that neither of them were aware of anything being wrong to begin with.

In the kitchen, Cocoa and Chino make pancakes together. Cocoa decides to take control to show Chino how well she can flip them- but to her horror it lands right on Chino's face. She runs back up to the bedroom while Rize continues with the puzzle, telling them in a panic that Chino won't speak to her again. She heads back down while sadly observed Chino, worried she hates her now and seeing that Chino refuses to look at her, she writes out a death message using ketchup and pretends to have killed herself. Chino runs up to tell the other girls and returns to clean her face, apologizing for her behavior that day. Cocoa brings up that they never fought like sisters before, so while it made her sad she feels happy to be closer with her.

After eating and returning to the puzzle, Chino reveals a rabbit wire puzzle her grandfather made for her. No matter how hard she tries she's unable to solve it, but one day she would like to in order to show him. Just then, Rize notices a puzzle piece is missing. Chiya mentions that missing things always wind up appearing at the last second; recalling the time Sharo accidentally left her backpack at school. She was very worried over it. Sharo is upset Chiya would bring this up and she scolds her, with her outburst sending Tippy flying into the air. As he lands, the missing pieces pops out and lands on the ground. The girls feel much joy in this; until Cocoa accidentally solves the wire puzzle and earns Chino's anger yet again.

The following day Chiya approaches Cocoa to ask how Chino is doing and if her mood is any better, and Cocoa happily confirms that everything is fine. She notices a tear in Chiya's tights and asks about this, offering her a bandage or black pen to cover the spot. Chiya decides to take a third option by removing her tights.

During lunch Cocoa brings up how wonderful Chino's Dad makes lunch, but she notices that Chiya seems to be down. Chiya refuses to say anything and Cocoa agrees to give her some space. But once school ends and she returns home, she brings up what happened to Rize. Her concerns shift after she realizes Chino seems bothered and when she tries to talk to her, she claims to be still upset. The girls suggest to Chino that next time, she just tells them this instead of trying to hold back. Cocoa offers her a hug as Rize assures her that she can always come to talk to them. Chino agrees to this and decides to tell them of her insecurities regarding her lack of growth lately- only to find out that Cocoa has stopped listening to her.

After work the girls change and with Cocoa still worried she decides to pay Ama Usa An a quick visit. Rize points out it is evening though, so she offers her gun for protection and Cocoa agrees, taking off to find Sharo crouched in front of the door. Cocoa questions this and Sharo explains how she was the cause of Chiya's ripped tights earlier. They got into a dispute before school and Chiya attempted to run after her, but she fell and scraped her knee. This made Sharo feel terrible, so she kept running.

While Cocoa seems to understand her desire to make up, Sharo quickly claims she wasn't the only one at fault though. Every morning Chiya kept shoving milk in her face saying it would help her grow; an obvious insult saying she is flat-chested. Cocoa points out that Chiya may have been sincere and was concerned for her height, then brings up that Chiya was very sad that morning. She helps Sharo up and offers to lend her a hand so that she can enter the shop, but Sharo reveals that the only reason she wont go inside is because of Anko. He chases after her and tries to bit her. Cocoa offers to lend her a hand and reveals Rize's gun in her possession, along with a paper bag that she puts over Sharo's head.

Chiya panics from the display until she realizes their identities and are safe. Cocoa expresses concern for her noticing that Chiya looks faint, then she recalls how she didn't eat lunch earlier. This quickly alerts Sharo and she rips off the bag, running from Anko and straight into the kitchen. She prepares some miso soup for Chiya and Cococa attempts to help; by putting in too much seaweed, chopping onions, and generally getting in the way. Chiya peeks on them, surprised to find them making something for her and requests that instead of a mother figure, perhaps she could be a newlywed wife who remains hopeful no matter what. Sharo feels remorse for getting angry earlier and apologizes for what happened that morning. Chiya then goes on to confess that what actually upset her was seeing how good the chestnut sweet potato Chino's Father made was better than her sweets. She was a little embarrassed over it though, which was why she didn't tell her. She then takes out a pair of panties from her bag and reveals that she found them in the tree next to their home, which belong to Sharo. She had been trying to tell her but she ran away too quickly. Flustered, Sharo yells at Chiya while Cocoa observes them.

The next day at school, Chino joins Megumi and Maya for lunch. They discuss the Milk-Kanten she has with her and comment on its sweet, but healthy nature. She admits that she was hoping it would help her grow.

Meanwhile, the same occurrence from the day before happens between Chiya and Cocoa after she remarks how much better the kanten is compared to their own.

Later, Sharo attempts to pass out flyers in the park. After handing out one she turns to see how many she has left, only to find a delinquent rabbit laying on top of the pile, causing her alarm. She demands he get off, then resorts to begging until Rize appears and picks up the rabbit. She sets him aside and reveals that she had to wear her uniform to pass out flyers for the Summer Bread Festival that Cocoa thought up. Seeing that it's an all-you-can-eat event, Sharo is very happy, until realizing she has to work that day. Rize joins Sharo in passing out flyers and attempts to recall doing what Sharo taught her back when she was helping out at Fleur de Lapin. But in the process she incidentally promotes that Cafe instead.

At Rabbit House Chino suddenly realizes that Cocoa spelled the name wrong of their flyers; she wrote "Rabbit Horse" instead of House, and this causes Chino a great deal of anxiety as she points out the kawaii drawn Tippy saying "Welcome! Come On!". Tippy isn't at all happy over his picture and Cocoa quickly runs out to try to grab all of her flyers while Chino chastises herself for thinking Cocoa would be fine handling this without needing her work checked.

Aoyama approaches Sharo to ask about the Cafe with curiosity. She claims it isn't anything naughty, but Aoyama is still curious and promises to visit very soon- while crouching down to observe Sharo's legs. She walks off while thinking over what Sharo may have been imagining her to be doing since she didn't look her in the eye, but she pays it no mind and takes a flyer from Rize, wondering if she could finally get to see her Master again. But upon spotting the name she decides it must be a different cafe.

Cocoa and Chino arrive to inform Rize of what happened, and she is shocked after looking to see that she didn't even notice the mistake. She suggests they hurriedly try to make corrections with the ones they still have, only for a large gust of wind to blow most of them away. The girls quickly try to pick up the loose flyers when a bug lands on the top of Rize, causing her fright until Sharo gets rid of it. She admits that she got used to them crawling through the cracks and gaps of her home. Just then, the delinquent rabbit returns to lick her foot. She screams and Rize picks it up to set it elsewhere. To try to help Sharo feel better, Cocoa picks up a little white rabbit while saying that because it is so small, it should be easy to handle. Sharo slowly takes it into her hands and stares at it while trying to determine what to do. She tries to speak to it while it stares at her and recalls Chiya telling her that rabbits "Squeak". The others seem confused and frustrated, Sharo decides to have a word with Chiya later.

Later, Rize, Chino, and Cocoa stop by Ama Usa An to see Chiya. Since it will be a short visit they decide to bring her some bread. She thanks them and Rize asks if she knows where Sharo lives, because they wanted to give her some too. To their surprise they find Sharo walking out of the house right next to Ama Usa, causing her great alarm to see her lie has been exposed. Chino assures her that its fine though, because her admiration has nothing to do with her admiration of her. Sharo's mood worsens when she is forced to point out the house belongs to her to Cocoa, who obliviously didn't seem to notice. Rize offers to share a secret with Sharo and gets closer to her, admitting that she gives guns to her stuffed rabbits. She thinks its a little weird, but Sharo agrees with her, saying she does the same thing with little plates and dishes.

The girls take of and Sharo decides to spend time with Chiya, still anxious and worried over what their friends will think of her. Chiya claims that even in knowing this she is still Sharo to them, although she is a bit disappointed to know the secret is no longer just between the two of them. Together they sit down for tea and melon bread.

Meanwhile, Tippy is upset to see his picture was removed from the wall. In its place is the puzzle the girls put together. Chino's Dad brings up how it should remind him of someone and he stares at it before agreeing he is right and deciding that perhaps its okay after all.
