Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakamatachi 6

the 6th episode focuses more on Ryouko's past but was indirectly known to the viewers and not Ryoushi, yet.

the day starts off with Ringo cleaning up their room while Ryouko goes off to the gym to train and is seen by Ringo to be behaving rather wierd after she did not seem to be extremely happy when Ringo tells her that she's preparing her favourite hamburgers for dinner tonight. Having pondered over the relationship between Ryouko and Shirou, Ryoushi decides to call Ringo and asks if he could have a chat with her. Ringo complies to Ryoushi's request and goes out to meet him but declined telling him about Ryouko's past as he should be the one asking Ryouko directly after gaining her total trust just like Ringo did. Meanwhile, the past wasn't totally kept secret and flashbacks were seen by Ryouko in the gym, where after she was forced on by Shirou, her other friends did not believe her words at all and she felt all alone and lost. This directly affect her training blows and even her old time "trainer" could see that lack of energy. Alice and Liszt are both trying to garner more information about Shirou as well but it seems like his data before he transferred school had all been deleted. While back in her room, Ringo takes out the photos she had with Ryouko when they first met and starts to think about them yet again. On that fateful day, Ringo had took the opportunity to pass Ryouko a form as she was absent and after being warned by the other classmates that she was scary and violent, Ringo wondered if she had made the wrong choice but helping out. When she went to find Ryouko, she discovered that she reads Girl's Novels and at the same time, found that she was having high fever. While Ringo was going to get something to cool her down, Ryouko, in her sleep, pleas for her friends to believe what she had said. After her fever had went down with Ringo's help, Ryouko awakes and immediately questions her about her coming into her room. Ringo passes her the form and even cooks porridge for her and takes care of her while she was sick. When Ringo wanted Ryouko to call her by her name as they were friends, Ryouko's mood changes and asks her when did she became her friend and asks her to leave. Seeing how determined Ryouko is on asking her to leave, Ringo complies but was thanked for by Ryouko who did call her name in the end. From that day onwards, Ringo seems to follow Ryouko around and sticks with her to the gym where the trainer tells Ryouko that she should take a rest as she was sick but Ryouko tells him that she wants to become strong as fast as possible. The trainer tells her that if she continues at this state, the strength that she would have would only be a short-lived one. After the session at the gym, Ryouko sees someone getting bullied and leaves Ringo behind to go forth and save the guy. Ryouko managed to land a few blows but was quickly outnumbered and had to be saved by Ringo who fakes the bullies that the police was coming. Ringo then treats Ryouko's injury and asks her why was she trying so hard to become strong. When Ryouko tells her that it wasn't of her concern, Ringo told her the phrase she heard when Ryouko spoke in her sleep, to ask someone to believe her words. Ryouko was taken aback by what she said but Ringo tells her to stop lying to herself and Ryouko was actually just a lonely person at heart, just like her who had just transferred into the neighbourhood. Ringo then asks Ryouko to be more of herself when with her which Ryouko eventually did and opened her heart to Ringo. Meanwhile, Ryoushi have always been pondering what exactly should he do now. While in school, he was always trying not to get into people's eyes by avoiding but one day his eyes caught sight of Ryouko and after days of observance, his love for her grew. During the day where he confessed to Ryouko, he was trying tell her that she was indeed a much more gentle person but Ryouko had already left after hearing only the first part of it. Ryoushi is now determined to protect Ryouko and not be the powerless on that stands far and being unable to protect the one he loves at all. He gets up and then goes to find Ryouko and tells her that she would have her putting her trust in him and confesses to her once again. Back in their room, Ringo have noticed that Ryouko's mood has changed for the better and confiscates her dinner to force her to tell her what had happened and she is indeed quite happy after hearing those words from Ryoushi but was too embarassed to say it to Ringo.

things get revealed rather fast where the flashbacks were slightly explained. and at least we get to know her past but not Ryoushi who like sat at the grass for the whole day?! .__. it was something out of the blue for him to confess to Ryouko once again and i wonder how their relationship would become if Ryouko had listened to Ryoushi's entire confession and realise that he has the same sharp eye as Ringo. half the series is down and i really can't see the ending yet =X
