Miss Naddy's 'Murrican Hug Date (ナディー
Summary[]
Rentarou is going on a date with Miss Naddy, who picks him up in her car and immediately hugs him! Rentarou is surprised: while Naddy usually does hug, her chest is much closer than usual; he pushes her back but she states he's still shy around her hugs, thus decides to spend their date giving as many "non-greeting hugs" as possible to make him used to her way of affection! Rentarou enters the car and appreciates how much it smells like the Japanese teacher, but she then abruptly hugs him again in a "car hug" pushing him further. The drive with Naddy ends up being rather awkward; she only listens to songs in English and not even all of them are American (in particular the British "We Wish You a Merry Christmas"), made worse in Naddy's singing is still closer to enka due to her traditional Japanese heritage.
The duo arrive at "Mac's", but the drive thru server is speaking in English, shocking Naddy into speaking Japanese in front of him after she greets in English, leading to Rentarou to advise they should just stick with Japanese. At the park, Naddy is contemplating how civilization ultimately lead to Big Macs while eating one as Rentarou states it's more the way she eats them that is the culmination of civilization. Naddy sneaks up on Rentarou from behind and gives him a "Mac Hug" in response to the compliment. Naddy worries she ordered too much but states she usually just brings it with her anyway, but still decides to give her remaining fries to Rentarou as a woman believes them to be foreigners and she and her husband decide to show affection; only for Naddy to sneak in another hug making them worry they can't win against "the black ships".
As they leave the park, Rentarou plugs in her GPS to a destination he wanted to show her; the duo have problems driving there but ultimately end up at a drive-in movie theater, which Rentarou states she always wanted to go to! Naddy is astonished since this is just like the movies she had seen (like "Ant-Man"), and gives Rentarou a "Happy Thanks Hug" in response to the deed. As the duo watch the movie (which is a romance somehow about food choices), Naddy keeps hugging Rentarou seeing this as a good means to do so with the closeness of the duo at a drive-in within her own car, Naddy leaning on him by the end of the movie.
At the end of the night, Rentarou thanks Naddy for the date and she is elated giving him a "Happy Trails Hug" for departure. She asks if he's a bit more used to her hugging but he blushes before stating "no matter how many times she hugs him, she's too beautiful to ever get used to! Naddy is embarrassed by Rentarou's response as she goes in for another hug; Rentarou asks what it is and she states it's merely "a hug-you-because-I-want-to hug"; Rentarou admits he wants her hugs as she states he doesn't need to get used to the hugs, just stay who he is and she'll always love him. Rentarou thinks he can't live without Naddy's hug after the date as Naddy tells him that sometimes it would be nice if he channeled his inner American and hugged back, leading to him finally hugging her; Rentarou breaks down at how soft and slender Naddy is as Naddy thinks she's happy cause they're hugging and she's hugging because she's happy as the two kiss in a "Huggily Ever After".
