Rentarou's Family's Serious Pretend Drinking Party (
Summary[]
Momoha is introduced to the family but everyone is shocked that she's a drunk and an obsessive gambler despite being an Ethics teacher! While Uto defends that she's "what they shouldn't be", both Mimimi and Kusuri reveal they're taking or have taken Momoha's class while Yamame and Hahari defend her for the work she does for the school, the girls more defending Yamame and Hahari's own heart and goodwill over the teacher's. Momoha cries about the girls wanting to be with her in return but relents they're not at drinking age; Hakari comes up with the idea of a "pretend drinking party" with "kids' beer", drinking juice while attempting to get drunk at the Hanazono Estate before sleeping on the futon at the end of it, which everyone agrees with.
However that night as Rentarou sleeps, he's confronted by "the big cheese of the publishing biz", who immediately rejects their "kids' beer drinking party" idea; stating that the consumption of alcohol by kids, as funny as it can be, is a big "no" to them. Rentarou tries to defend it by stating an incident in "Doraemon", but the publishing avatar states "it was a different time"; he even threatens to fight the being to the end but the avatar states even if he did, the answer is still "no".
The next day at the Hanazono Estate, it turns out everyone had the same dream and the same warning about doing the drinking party; even when others offered other ideas like Kusuri's "makes-you-act-drunk drug", Uto trying to use words, Mei trying to remove the being, Iku having a "paddling battle" and Momiji trying to grope it, nothing worked. However without warning, Rentarou storms in stating "they'll do it anyway" and has figured out a plan to get everyone drunk without literally getting everyone drunk!
- First, Rentarou has Mai increase the temperature of the estate.
- Second, Rentarou has prepared cooled juices of various flavors that are made to flush their faces.
- Third, the cold drinks in a warm room stimulates the diaphragm causing hiccups.
- Fourth, for those who don't have a tolerance for cold drinks (like Yaku and Mimimi), he has warm drinks; but tells them to still drink the cold ones to cause the same sensation for everyone.
- Fifth, he's prepared various tongue twisters to slur them and make them act more like a drunk; even though some end up being better than others at it (like Uto) or alter the purpose of them (Mai using it as an excuse to show off her love of Mei), all of them eventually get slurred (even Shizuka who wears out her fingers making her auto-correct become more confused)
- Sixth, the room is darkened and mood music is played to improve the atmosphere.
- Finally, Rentarou decides to place a warning on every panel with the behavior: No alcohol or anything with similar effects have been consumed.
The girls are skeptical that everything Rentarou's done will make them appear to be drunk despite the warnings of the company; but within moments, everyone in the cast is at a table acting drunk as if they had been drinking!
As the Family gets to their new states, Hakari asks Momoha about any experiences she had doing "naughty stuff"; but the Ethics teacher reveal that Rentarou is her first boyfriend but she has plenty of experience doing "solo stuff"; Hakari states the same and the two bond. She then asks the same question of Yaku; but the older woman states that "a good woman keeps it confidential" with a straight face, stopping the conversation in it's tracks! Naddy returns to her "sad drunk" state about her own experiences but Chiyo attempts to cheer her up by saying "her foot is on the futon"; Naddy doesn't get it but Momiji uses this as an opening to grope her.
Ahko laughs likewise revealing herself as a "happy drunk" as Rentarou reveals he can understand what she's saying; he conveys a story to Ahko about his girlfriends stroking his hair like her as well as a story about Kishika and her condition (as is Mimimi and her obsession with her "natural beauty"); by the end of the conversation, Ahko glomps her as he admits his love for her. Karane sees this and asks for a hug too as a "needy drunk" leading to her joining Rentarou and Ahko, ultimately making Meme embarrassed and joining in with them. As Kusuri wonders whether or not to go to the restroom, Mei comes up to Rentarou asking for an "order", begging as if she's needy; Rentarou telling her to "love him as long as she lives".
Without warning, Shizuka stands up; Yamame sees this as a sign like a rabbit in a bad mood as everyone wonders what sort of delinquent thing is the small girl about to do.
