The Ahren Channel's Secrets (あーれんチャンネルの
Summary[]
Man of sincerity and 27 girlfriends, Rentarou. Today he's recording a video with his 18th girlfriend.
Rentarou is spending the day at the Kedarui household making a web video alongside Ahko that she dubs the "AhRen Couple Channel"; after watching some videos, she decided to take a chance in making a channel herself, the duo filming it with her cell phone. The duo begin by playing a game of "Jenga" that she tries to play but immediately fails as it falls on the table, making Ahko worry she's terrible at building suspense. Rentarou thinks that what happened was cute and she takes the compliment to kiss him, Rentarou admitting Ahko's feelings don't come across due to her languid manner but she still has a gyaru's touchy-feely nature. She tries and fails again with the Jenga tower before Rentarou suggests trying something else.
Upon Ahko's suggestion, they decide to sing and dance to a cute song she heard recently: "To You Who I Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love" (the opening theme song for their anime). After teaching the motions, the duo dance to the song in another video, but Rentarou spends the entire time with a scrunched-up face due to Ahko being too cute and right next to him, leading to another kiss.
The duo decide to move on to pranks; Ahko tells Rentarou immediately which he admits isn't going to be a real prank if she warns him. After waiting a minute as Rentarou checks his phone, Ahko appears in a ghost costume with a very goofy attempt at a scare, which fails to frighten Rentarou. She tries again with a lion costume as Rentarou continues to admit her cuteness isn't helping her which he admits overpowers his feeling of surprise and leads to the two kissing again.
After several attempts at making videos, they finish up and Ahko decides for a make-out session; Rentarou is shocked about why after all they did, but Ahko states they were just holding themselves back for the camera before the duo just spend the rest of the time together kissing one another.
After the make-out session, Ahko is ready to upload the video to their "AhRen Couple Channel", but Rentarou appears to have a serious expression. Ahko asks what's the matter and wonders if he's in on having a "couple channel" as he relents and states he's good with whatever Ahko wants. But Ahko states she's similar in thought and that if Rentarou doesn't want to do it, she doesn't either. Asking Rentarou to be honest, he admits everyone in the world ends up seeing a web video and all these people have different value sets on what's right and wrong; and some people could think what he and Ahko are doing is wrong whether online, or in worst case scenario, in a manner offline where there's nowhere to run. Rentarou admits that with all the danger in the world, you can't let it paralyze you, but by putting something online, you have to prepare to protect yourself and your feelings and admits he's willing to do so for Ahko's sake. And speaking personally, Rentarou states that he rather the personal time he and Ahko spent that day should remain personal and not just shared with the world as if going away from them. Rentarou apologizes for his frankness, but Ahko admits she doesn't want people talking trash about their time of happiness and thanks him for his opinion.
However, Rentarou believes that with all the effort Ahko put into the potential web video, he didn't say no one could see it, thus the duo show it off to the rest of the Family by the next day. Everyone laughs at Rentarou and Ahko's antics; but then when the make-out session begins, Ahko admits she accidentally left the camera on for it. The other girls are shocked to the point of having their own make-out session with Rentarou, but he feels shocked that this whole video almost went online.
