Chapter 27.5

Synopsis
While Ryuuichi went about his business as a brother and babysitter, a lovestruck admirer observed him from afar.

Long Summary
At the Summer Festival, Ushimaru peers at Ryuu from behind a tree, and finds him stunning in his yukata. Rena is disconcerted by the intense gaze her friend is giving off. Meanwhile, other boys from their class are disappointed not to have encountered girls themselves (especially Ushimaru).

Later on at the School Festival, Ushimaru is distracted from her maid cafe duties by an unusual sight inside the daycare room. Ryuu is dressed in an adorable corncob costume. As Rena urges her to simply go inside rather than stare from the outside window, one advanced class student drags another to the English lecture they're supposed to be at.

The Christmas season eventually rolls in. During her outdoor gym period, Ushimaru's eyes are drawn to Ryuu yet again. He was inside their homeroom, and appeared to have an enlarged belly. Ushimaru is completely oblivious to a startled male classmate who catches her apparent peeping, so Rena admonishes her for staring at boys while they were changing their clothes.
