Did she notice? Why is it that I don't tell her?
Description
Morita makes and discreetly gives Hagu a brooch she wanted, while Takemoto fights feelings of jealousy and whether or not to tell Hagu who gave the brooch to her. Yamada also thanks Morita for bailing her out of a situation where she awkwardly tried to casually say she loves Mayama. Christmas arrives, and Hagu begins her first part-time job by helping Yamada in the local shopping district. Takemoto is asked to help with decorations when Hagu and the shopping district try to win back business from a competing supermarket chain. Takemoto has a change of heart over how he feels about Christmas. He also attempts to tell Hagu about the brooch during the ensuing Christmas party, but is interrupted by Morita who tells Hagu herself there's no deep meaning to it.
