Hige wo Soru Episode 3 Spoilers
In episode 2, Yoshida takes Sayu out on a shopping trip to buy her cosmetics, but when he tries to get her a phone, she vehemently says that she doesn’t need one. Yoshida realizes that the things she says and how she smiles in these instances are not particularly genuine. Later, back in their apartment, he tells her to be herself when she does it again. After some hesitation, Sayu tells him that he is the nicest person she has ever met, making him remind her what he told her earlier: to raise her standards. He adds that she is nice herself as she takes care of the household chores.
At work, Mishima, one of Yoshida’s subordinates, makes some mistakes while finishing a project they are part of. When she learns that Yoshida might be removed from the project for her mistakes, she spends extra hours working that evening fixing them. Airi thinks that Yoshida has started dating Mishima after she rejected him. She later asks him out on a dinner and confronts him about it, explaining that it bothers her that he has moved on so fast after telling her that he likes her. Yoshida assures her there isn’t anything between him and Mishima but is disappointed as he has hoped something more would come of this dinner.
Yoshida later gives Sayu the phone he purchased for her earlier. He reflects that her smile seems genuine this time, but he still doesn’t understand teenage girls. In episode 3, Yoshida and Sayu might start settling into their new living arrangement. He might go on a business trip, leaving her alone at their home for the first time since she has moved in. Sayu might meet Airi for the first time, and the two might have an antagonistic relationship in the beginning.
