Mission: Yozakura Family episode 10 kicks off with the Hinagiku organization hosting a grand hot pot party to celebrate the mission's success. Rin Fudo applauds the team for completing the mission with zero casualties.

After a while, Rin, Oga, and Kyoichiro pass out from exhaustion. Meanwhile, Taiyo Asano inspects the cube he retrieved from the tree's hollow, following Kurogao's message. He feels everything will change, including him, once he finds out the content of the cube.

Mutsumi then kisses Taiyo on his cheeks and assures him that no matter what surprise comes his way, he will always be the Taiyo she knows. Meanwhile, a marble falls out from the cube.

Kyoichiro explains to the boy in Mission: Yozakura Family episode 10 that it's a method of recording optic data, by arranging air bubbles with a laser. While there are few options, it's possible to extract the data from that marble.

However, Taiyo rescues her just in the nick of time. A funny moment follows, with Kyoichiro Yozakura noticing Taiyo and Ayaka in a compromising situation.

Mutsumi notices someone named Kaoru is calling Taiyo. However, the boy quickly takes the phone from Mutsumi's hands and rushes to the door. Ayaka observes the incident and feels Taiyo must be having an affair with someone.

The episode then time-skips to a few days and shows Taiyo and Mutsumi spending some quality time, accompanied by Goliath. The Yozakura girl reveals Goliath is a wolf-dog, a special breed produced through repeated modifications since the Edo period.

However, the girl in the picture suddenly arrives at the mansion, accompanied by her grandfather, Kaouru. Mission: Yozakura Family episode 10 reveals that they are from the Hinagiku. Apparently, Taiyo contacted them to find Kyoichiro's favorite tea, Dark Sweet.

Since the tea leaves are extremely difficult to come by, Taiyo and the Hinagiku secretly procured them for Kyoichiro, who always looks out for him. However, he wanted to keep it a secret from Mutsumi, otherwise Kyoichiro would have found out.

Kyoichiro cannot believe Taiyo would go to such an extent for his sake. Even though he feels grateful, he can't bring himself to apologize to the boy. Mission: Yozakura Family episode 10 ends on a light-hearted note with the family enjoying the special tea.
