This episode really focused on Shushu and her tendency to cause trouble because it’s fun. I anticipate that over the next couple episodes we might have most of an episode devoted to each of the girls in the dorm.
An important development this episode is that Yuuki can force at least a partial transformation by…licking Kyouka’s boot? It wasn’t exactly clear to me what it is that triggers his ability. Is it doing things that he thinks are ecchi, specifically licking things that belong to Kyouka? I hope we get some more insight into his abilities going forward.
Finally, an antagonist appears at the end of this episode. Seems like somebody with intelligence is waging war against the humans to look for the peaches (which we haven’t really heard a lot about yet). Also, they seem to know Yuuki somehow and that he is in Mato. I am guessing that this is his sister or somehow closely connected to his sister. That is the only explanation I can think of for how she knows Yuuki.
No, the transformation only really happens when Kyouka wills it, iirc.
The “rewards” only ever happen afterwards. They also do not need to be lewd. A verbal compliment, pat on the head or hug will do, depending on what Yuuki’s subconscious seems to want.
There is much more to the slave ability that is yet to be revealed.
It’s good to hear that there is more to the ability. I think Kyouka’s ability is one of the more interesting aspects of the story so far. It is essentially a way to force character interactions, and in an ensemble show like this one (a harem), the more varied your character interactions are, the fresher it keeps things.
The mangaka has given themselves free reign in what the abilities can be, and there are some really cool ones.
<mild spoiler?>
Not sure if they’ve discovered that Yuuki can be borrowed by other girls in the second episode yet, and used as a “slave” by girls other than Kyouka? A plot device for character interactions indeed.
This also shifts them to be the one who has to then “reward” Yuuki, which in turn fuels him becoming closer with more of them.
What the reward is also varies from girl to girl, as Yuukis relationship with them matters in determining what it’ll be. You can probably guess who he wants nothing more than a headpat from :D

Hah! I forgot about him licking her boot!
