Kono Naka ni Hitori, Imouto ga Iru - ep08

After Shougo join the Morality committee to be able to observe the Student Council Vice-President, it turns that he has been able to achieve much in results. The reason is that he is force to spend so much of his time doing the actual job that there is no real time to observe Rinka. What makes this even more complicated is that Konoe and Miyabi are causing problem to get him to quit. Once Mister X or other wise known as Ikusu hears Shougo's problem, that because of his position he unable to get close to Rinka even though they work together. This cause Ikusu to come up with an idea, that Shougo needs to meet up with Rinka somewhere the isn't connected to School.

Then to this end Ikusu ask Mana to join him at the amusement park which cause Rinka to come along to keep an eye on Mana. Which turns out was what Ikusu was planning on, and that means the only thing to left to do is find so way to get Shougo and Rinka to spend some time alone. This proves to be easy enough after going on some rides they come upon a zombie shooting game that Mana wants no part of, so Ikusu gives her an easy way out by offering to buy her some ice-cream while Shougo and Rinka go on the ride. Even though this allows Shougo to spend some time alone with Rinka he doesn't find all that much about her other than she never had the opportunity to enjoy herself with all of her responsibility. There time there ends with Shougo buying a Racoon key-chain that Rinka was looking at earlier.

Later when he gets home he is trying to remember where he seen something like this key-chain before. It suddenly comes to him that there was a very similar one on Mei's Cellphone that went missing. Shougo figures that was the reason that Rinka was looking at it because it was reminding her of Mei's phone that she took. Then with this in mind he ask to borrow Konoe's phone so that he can set a trap for Rinka. In the begging it seems like Rinka doesn't fall for his trick the next day, however she makes a mistake by saying it isn't the same because the key-chain is different. Then with this mistake that Rinka was the one that made the announcement with Mei's phone.

Although this leads to her explaining why she did it to begin with, she reveals to Shougo that she is engaged to Genda's son, and that because of this she had to help with what Genda himself ask of her. That he wants her to find out who Mikadono Kumagorou hidden child is, that with this information will put him in a better position when he enters into negotiation with Kumagorou group. She didn't like the idea of doing something like this but was force to obey because of her arranged marriage. That she was intending to use her announcement to give Shougo a warning, that he needs to be more careful about things that go on around him. Once he realize that she was only trying to help he forgives her.

Although this brings up another issue, he believes that people should only marry if they love each other. That he would be willing to pretended to be her lover if that would help her get out of the arrangement that her parents made for her. Rinka is unwilling to do this because she is unwilling to live a lie, but she feels that if he is willing to go that far for her sake then the only solution is if they become loves for real. Then with this her parents would have no choice but to cancel her engagement since she would already have a lover. Although as she is making her move on Shougo towards this end someone comes into the room when Rinka has Shougo in a compromising position. This only help free her of the whole that Genda has over her, and her father approves of this relationship with Shougo. The question reminding is that if his sister isn't Mana the only one in the group that hasn't been investigated, than who is his sister since all these false leads are getting confusing. If you think about the only time that his “Sister” contacted was at the funeral. Also what are Genda's intentions on trying to find Shougo's sister is there something else he is trying to achieve.
