Episode 42
Chizuru Mizuhara is invited to join the Kinoshita family trip, prompting Ruka Sarashina to confront her and ask why she didn’t refuse.
Ruka then blurts out a lie to assert her position:
“We’ve already done it!!”
She tries to falsely imply that her relationship with Kazuya Kinoshita has progressed.
On the day of the trip, Yoshiaki Kibe and Shun Kuribayashi unexpectedly join the group as part of a surprise planned by Nagomi Kinoshita.
This causes panic—not only for Kazuya but also for Chizuru and Ruka—because Kuribayashi once rented Ruka before.
Tensions rise, and the chaotic journey to Spa Resort Hawaiians in Fukushima begins…!

The fourth season delves deeper into Kazuya and Chizuru's evolving relationship. After successfully completing a crowdfunding campaign for Chizuru’s film, Kazuya gathers the courage to confront his true feelings. Meanwhile, Ruka Sarashina becomes even more assertive in her pursuit of Kazuya, and Mami Nanami, Kazuya’s sly ex-girlfriend, makes bold moves to complicate matters.
Adding to the tension, the Hawaiians Arc promises to take the drama to a new setting, where the "fake" relationship faces challenges that could determine whether it transforms into something real.
