Synopsis

Chapter Summary

Ryouji "Ranka" Fujioka comes home unexpectedly

Ranka sees the scene..

and sees Tamaki Suoh on top of Haruhi Fujioka, his eyes widening and his face in shock. Tamaki looks over to Ranka, thinking that he’s going to be dead soon because Ranka sees him in a compromising position with his daughter. Ranka is annoyed so Haruhi breaks the awkward silence by saying, “You’re back?” Ranka strolls over as Tamaki tells himself to stay calm. Ranka smiles widely, shocking the blond, just before he whacks Tamaki into the wall. He then turns to Haruhi and asks what she's doing by sleeping on the floor,

ignoring Tamaki completely. Tamaki tries to speak with Ranka, who continues to chat with Haruhi about his job and asking for tea. Tamaki rushes to prepare this for him in the background, but Ranka then changes his mind saying that he wants to take a nap, instead. Turning to Tamaki, at last, he stomps Tamaki into the floor and becomes angry, calling Tamaki a “huge insect.”


Hikaru Hitachiin and Kaoru Hitachiin appear at the main door stating that they guessed right that the person they saw earlier down the hall was Haruhi’s father. Tamaki is relieved to see them and shouts to them to be his saviors. But instead of “saving” Tamaki, they walk over him and introduce

Tamaki proclaiming his 'love'

themselves to Ranka as Haruhi’s “closest personal best friends,” then add that Tamaki is a womanizer. They turn to Tamaki and sarcastically ask, "So, you finally molested Haruhi? You’re such a retard!”  Ranka hears the word “molest” from the twins which makes him even angrier.Tamaki shouts to Ranka that he considers Haruhi to be a daughter to him and bows deeply. The twins are shocked, thinking he was about to confess his feelings for Haruhi, but realize that he's still an idiot. Meanwhile, the first impression that Tamaki leaves on Ranka: he’s a moron.


After a while, Kyoya Ootori, Mitsukuni "Honey" Haninozuka and Takashi "Mori" Morinozuka return. The twins are still laughing while Tamaki sulks in a corner. Ranka introduces himself and compliments the Hosts as really “handsome." Honey greets Ranka and Ranka greets him back by calling him by name. The twins wonder how Ranka knows their names as Ranka points to Honey and Takashi, identifying them as 3rd-years. Then Ranka points at the Hitachiin twins, saying that they’re in the same class with Haruhi, but he doesn’t know which one is which. The twins ask if Haruhi has mentioned them. Ranka reveals that he gets his information daily from Kyoya with whom he is email buddies.


Ranka greets Kyoya and said he's even more wonderful in real life. Kyoya thanks Ranka for giving him Haruhi's photos from junior high school when she still had long hair. The other Hosts are shocked by this revelation, especially by its length of duration. Tamaki grabs Kyoya and demands to know why Kyoya didn't say anything about it. Kyoya responds that it's supposed to be Tamaki’s job to keep Ranka informed about Haruhi's involvement in school because he’s the club president. Tamaki is again shocked, feeling that something is stabbing him in the back. Ranka chats with Kyoya, saying that the Ouran Host Club has an incompetent club president who goes around molesting women. Tamaki feels more stabs in his back and begins growing mushrooms in a closet in the background. An angry Haruhi demands to know why Ranka didn't tell her that he's been communicating with Kyoya all along. Ranka explains that it's because Haruhi never tells him about school. He then hugs her tightly saying that even an angry Haruhi is cute. The twins say that Ranka’s actions and remarks remind them of Tamaki.


Haruhi says she's going to go to the supermarket by herself and tells them to behave. After Haruhi leaves, Ranka recounts how even though Haruhi is independent, Ranka chose her clothes until Haruhi was in junior high school. Ranka also said he wanted Haruhi to wear girly uniforms like they do at St. Lobelia Girls' Academy. Hikaru tells him that St. Lobelia has a strange club, so it's better if Haruhi doesn't go there. Finally, Ranka explains how Haruhi cut her hair one day. Ranka also thanks the Host Club because she seems to be enjoying her time at school. The Hosts are all a bit shocked at Ranka's sudden appreciation. Ranka then speaks to Tamaki, reminding him that he recognized Haruhi as a girl last of all and even hit her in the head. Tamaki sobs at Ranka's words and runs out of the apartment. Ranka asks the Hosts if they want to do something fun with him.

Tamaki runs as fast as he can while sobbing, even going past Haruhi to hide behind a pole and begin sulking. Haruhi says she can still see him and asks what's wrong as Tamaki continues crying. Several people notice them, assuming they are a couple having a fight. Haruhi finally asks if Tamaki would like to go with her to the supermarket and help figure out what they should have for lunch. Tamaki said he’d like to eat nabe with lots of seafood and beef in it while sitting under a kotatsu. Haruhi agrees to put in a lot of pork, but no seafood. Haruhi then comments about rich people eating nabe under a kotatsu which is when Tamaki informs her that Kyoya has a portable kotatsu at the Ootori mansion and they eat nabe there every year.


Meanwhile, Ranka and the other Hosts are stalking the pair from behind. The twins comment that Haruhi and Tamaki look like a mother with her cry-baby child, seeing Tamaki who follows Haruhi from behind while sniffling about how Haruhi talks to him. When they finally arrive at 

Tamaki gasp!

Maratomi Mart, Tamaki is enthusiastic about everything because he's never been to such a place with so many people. Tamaki points at a cart and tells Haruhi that he wants to try one of those. Haruhi says it’s a bother because they’re not going to buy a lot of things, so Tamaki just continues to admire the commoners’ supermarket. Haruhi holds Tamaki’s hand, calms him down and tells him to just stick by her.


A man giving out free food tastings spot Tamaki and Haruhi and thinks they're a couple until the Hitachiin twins interrupt them by pushing between them with a cart. Haruhi and Tamaki’s hands separate. The three members of the Ootori Family Staff then appear, asking Tamaki if he’d like to try

the free food tasting items. Tamaki, Haruhi and the twins are shocked to know that they have been followed since the outset of their trip. Haruhi looks around and realizes that the whole gang is with them at the supermarket.


Having attracted a lot of attention from the people in the supermarket, Haruhi tells the gang to leave. Tamaki looks at the children happily talking to their mothers in the commoner supermarket

Following tamaki and haruhi...

which puts him in a bit of a daze. Ranka notices Tamaki staring and accuses him of thinking badly of commoners. Tamaki replies that he doesn't; he just notices that there are a lot of moms with their children in the supermarket. Ranka informs Tamaki that Haruhi started doing all the housework and shopping by herself at a young age and refuses to allow him to accompany her, even though he always worries about her, which is why he constantly tails her when she goes out.


Scene skip to a flashback when Haruhi is nine years old and shopping at the supermarket. Ranka has followed her and sees two of Haruhi's classmates bullying her. They tease her about Ranka being gay and acting like a mom instead of a dad. Ranka hears this and wants to hit the two boys, but Haruhi replies that they don’t have to feel sorry for her because being gay is simply Ranka's preference. Haruhi then peeks over and finds Ranka, hiding. Haruhi's classmates run away and Ranka declares that he wants to carry the shopping basket because it's been awhile. Haruhi replies that he's strange, but they shop together, happy, thus ending the flashback.


Ranka admits to the Hosts that it was the lamest excuse he ever made to cover his spying, adding that Haruhi never gives him a chance to show concern at all, yet she's always unconsciously trying to help others. Tamaki recalls to himself when Haruhi tried to help Renge and says, "I know," with a gentle smile at Ranka, who is flustered by his remark. Reaching over, Ranka stretches Tamaki’s cheeks and

exclaims "What the hell do you know?" adding that Tamaki is only Daddy No. 2 and Ranka's sworn enemy from that day forward. Tamaki sulks in a corner again and Ranka sticks his tongue out at him.


Back at the Fujioka residence, the gang happily eats their nabe under a kotatsu. In voiceover, Ranka can be heard saying, “But still, someday, that unselfish child...will want to be with one person only."
