Shikimori’s Not Just a Cutie Season 1 Episode 5 recap
After the exams ended, the gang began their vacation in the river town, as they had planned. Although the idea was to go to a beach, after realizing that Izumi can’t stand the heat, Shikimori and everyone decided to go to the river town. Reaching their destination, the latter bought a straw hat for Izumi, so he won’t get dizzy.
Witnessing the amazing scenery around the riverbank, where even the weather was in Izumi's favor, everyone got extremely excited. Nekozaki and Inuzuka couldn’t help themselves from getting the barbeque ready.
When Izumi lifted the knife to cut some veggies, those who were aware of his bad luck got deeply petrified. Rather, he impressed everyone with his exceptional chopping skills, which he learned by helping his mother in the kitchen every now and then.
Shikimori also wanted to impress Izumi, and for that, she cooked a delicious meal for him. After the latter had a taste, he quickly spat it out as it was awful.
However, looking at Shikimori’s efforts, he still ate the dish to show his gratitude and his love. With his facial expressions, however, it was evident that the dish tasted really bad. After finishing their barbeque, the gang headed out for a swim. Izumi saves a little girl from drifting off into the river but in the process, he hurts his ankle and couldn’t swim.
Shikimori after finding out that Izumi was drowning, takes a huge dive and saves him. After they safely get out of the river, she berates him for not calling for her. Later, they get some ice cream to give their vacation a good ending.
Shikimori tries to give Izumi an indirect kiss by eating his ice cream, but Inozuka gobbles it up before she can even reach it and destroys her plan with flying colors.
