Takayuki's next work of a PR advertisement for a horror game, and it seems that this work is more exhaustive than he thinks it is. But entering a dark toilet where he could be scared at any moment, turns out it's just a colleague. To make matters worse, Souma wanting to watch a horror movie, and Takayuki only lasted a minute before he exits out of the house again.

With nowhere to go, he heads to Hayate's place to stay the night, but Shun is his guest to complete summer break homework. Sure, Takayuki brought puddings, but the spoons in Hayate's place are too big, so Shun getting out of the house to get some small spoons is apt. Hoping for someone to distract him away from the things that he doesn't like, Hayate is a godsend to relieve him.

Takayuki's being persistent, but too much can never be a good thing.

First person horror shooter games creep the hell out of me too. I don’t blame anyone for wanting some company after playing one of them…..

Mima is bad with horror. lol

Souma, on the other hand, likes horror. haha It's always the cute ones who will surprise you by their love for horror.

Both Souma and his brother are so cute looking. I wanna hug them both so much!!!

I just realised Hayate reminds me of Natsume Takashi! No wonder he's my favourite!

Shun got stuck outside. lol I hope they realised and let him in.

Ah yes Mima is indeed a horrible skillful gamer. Allss fair that he's scared of horror games, I can completely relate.

That pudding scene was so funny x'D it was really awkward when it actually happened in real life. And yup, Hayate is really a comforting character :) I always love it when Mima and Hayate hang out together, not only because they are both my favorites but also because the atmosphere between them is very gentle.

Takayuki's new PR assignment is for an horror game but he doesn't like horror that much, and he's not the best in gaming as well, he decides to take a break in the bathroom but then the thoughts or visions come to him and he gets scared when he sees someone entering out of the toilet but its just his work colleague. Takayuki being scared to death almost decides to stay at Souta's place but Souma is also there and Souma wants to watch a scary movie, so Takayuki is like "Nope, not today". Takayuki now goes to Hayate's place, but Shun is already there for help for his homework because he's still a student but it seems like Takayuki spend the night there, the pudding scene got me though. 

The next day Takayuki is back behind the controller, he doesn't want to give up and continues playing it. 

Amazing episode as always, with 4 left to go, I wonder what the finale will bring.

Even as a gamer, I get feeling scared by horror games. Especially during chase scenes where you need to make decisions fast. It's difficult...

As a horror fan, loved this even more. Literally cracked when they told Mima to look behind them and they... literally did, aha.

Really don't want this to eeeend. Anyone that has read the manga, is it being a full adaptation or does it have more content for those of us that are gonna have withdrawals once the show ends?

“Behind you! Not in real life!” I do the same thing playing VR horror games, trying to duck or stand up when it’s controller input only lol

Interactions between Mima and Hayate are always so wholesome and cute, they suit each other perfectly
