It is new year eve, Renge and Kazuho are feeding the rabbits at school. At Komari's house, Komari is sweeping the front yard while Natsumi is lying under the kotatsu. Her mother tells her to clean her romm but she says tomorrow, her mother tells her that tomorrow will already be new year. At Hotaru's house, Hotaru is making more Koma plushies version new year. At night at Renge's house, Renge is fighting sleep to celebrate new year but fails. Early in the morning before the sun rises, Kaede, Kazuho and Hikage are preparing to the mountain to watch the rising sun. Kazoho turn to take hand warmers and finds Renge all awake and wanting to go to watch the rising sun. kazuho and Hikage tells her to look after the house but after she plead to Kaede and accept to eat green pepper they agree to take her. Arriving at the mountain, they must go by foot. Kaede asks who was going to use the flashlights and finds Kazuho with a thief like hood. After Renge gets the flashlight she is the first to go while Kaede tells her to wait. In the mountain, there is a long way to the top so Renge sings so that she doesn't get tired. Hikage and Kaede are surprise that she can walk and Hikage says that Kaede used to look after Renge when she was small and there was nobody.
While watching Renge doing her best and walking up the mountain, Kaede remembers the days when she looked after a one year old Renge for the first time. While she was bored at home, Kaede gets a phone call from Hikage that asks her to look after Renge as there will nobody home. Being reluctant at first, Kaede agrees when she heard the pay. She come to their house and Hikage leaves Renge in her home. While trying to show Renge a plane trail. Renge starts crying so she plays with her to make her stop crying. She bring Renge in her living room and let her play while she reads the memo that Hikage left. Kaede is making milk for Renge but when she raise her head to see Renge, she is not here. Kaede runs in the veranda and shes the cat give a neko punch to Renge because she was playing with its cat. Renge starts to cry so Kaede goes to fetch the milk, which is boiling. Kaede is tired and lying down while Renge is drinking her milk. She stop drinking and toddle to Kaede lap where she lies. While saying she doesn't like it Kaede give off a smile. When Hikage returns home she finds the two of them fast asleep.
After her flashback, Kaede sees Renge doing her best and is very tired. She take her on her back. Meanwhile Kazuho also is really tired and seeing Renge getting piggyback she ask Hikage to carry her. On top of the mountain they are drinking tea while waiting for sun rise. When the sun rises Renge is very happy and wish everyone happy new year. They go to Renge's home and have ozooni; a japanese new year dish. After the dish Hikage aks where Kaede is, Kazuho point her to them. Hikage opens the door and finds Renge and Kaede sleeping together, just like before.
This episode was about new year and a baby Renge and Kaede. It focused on the relation of Kaede and Renge, which I was hoping to see. The new year part of the episode showed a strong Renge who will bear with the hardship to see the new year rising sun. Also her son which was quite catchy, I liked it. Well while Renge was bearing her hardship her oldest sister Kazuho gave up mostly, DARASHINAI NA! Kaede soft spot for Renge was explained and really nice. I like the part where she babysat her and bonded together. Renge as a baby was less of a troublemaker and more of an adventurer. She is at ease with anyone after some time if they fulfill her condition like all other baby. Even in the present it is nice to see Kaede and Renge relation, they are less of a Mother-Daughter and more of a best friend relation or a n aunt and niece relation.
