In Episode 2 of Blue Box, Taiki faces the reality of living under the same roof as his crush, Chinatsu, who has moved into his home. Overwhelmed by the situation, he struggles to act normally around her, particularly when she casually interacts with him.

When Chinatsu enters his room and borrows his Shonen Jump magazine, Taiki is left flustered and guilty, realizing that all he can think about is living with a beautiful girl.

At badminton practice, Taiki’s excitement doesn’t go unnoticed by his friend Kyo, who warns him to keep his living arrangement with Chinatsu a secret. Chinatsu’s admirers would likely become jealous if they found out. Despite this, Kyo congratulates Taiki on his situation, but Taiki quickly refutes the idea of asking Chinatsu out.

He respects her dedication to basketball and doesn’t want to interfere with her goals. Inspired by her determination, Taiki sets his sights on making it to the badminton nationals.

She assumes Taiki has a crush on Hina and is hiding their living situation for that reason. When they finally clear the air, the two share a moment of mutual understanding, leaving Taiki more determined than ever.
