The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten 2 Episode 2: The Start of Summer Vacation

Under a single green umbrella, Amane and Mahiru walk home in the rain. She laments the humidity affecting her hair, but Amane assures her she looks adorable, drawing a blush. He then reveals a fondness for rainy days because of supermarket discounts, a small, endearing detail that makes Mahiru giggle. Their close proximity speaks volumes of their quiet, evolving comfort with each other.

Later, in Amane's apartment, Mahiru innocently asks about an exciting gym class event, startling Amane into dropping his phone. A flashback shows Itsuki and other boys teasing Amane about his relationship with the school's 'Angel.' Itsuki also hints that Mahiru has been consulting Chitose for advice, raising Amane's apprehension about what wild suggestions might be offered. Back in the present, Mahiru reassures him her feelings wouldn't waver, but Amane remains wary of Chitose's influence.

The next day, Mahiru informs Amane she is swimsuit shopping with Chitose, leaving him stunned and sending a frantic text to Chitose. A brief, comical chibi sequence reveals Mahiru's profound fear of deep water, emphasizing the personal effort she makes for Amane. That evening, Amane exits the bathroom shirtless, finding Mahiru still there. She covers her face, scolding his lack of caution, yet can't help but note his recently toned physique.

Amane teases Mahiru about seeing him like this at the pool, and she counters, admitting his increased confidence and fitness make him 'too handsome' to handle. She praises his hard work, confessing it makes her heart race. Amane then embraces her from behind; Mahiru tentatively touches his abdominal muscles. He warns her that such touches might push him past his limits, and Mahiru realizes the depth of his attraction. She tells him she trusts him completely and doesn't want him to always hold back.

Mahiru surprises Amane by confessing she had been 'expecting a kiss' earlier. He leans in, placing a soft, lingering kiss on her cheek, then asks if it was enough for now. Her whispered reply, hinting at wanting a kiss 'somewhere else next time,' pushes Amane's self-control past its breaking point. He pulls her closer, his expression intense, and presses his lips against her neck, leaving a distinct red hickey. Amane immediately apologizes, horrified, but Mahiru is touched, telling him she belongs to him and doesn't mind the mark.

Summer vacation officially begins, met with Itsuki's boisterous celebration. That evening, Amane proposes a two-week visit to his parents' house, and Mahiru immediately agrees, honored at the prospect. The conversation shifts to formally informing his parents about their relationship, a prospect that makes Mahiru nervous but determined to show respect. Amane warns her of his mother's likely teasing, but they share a sweet, confident exchange, acknowledging their mutual good fortune.

At the indoor pool, Amane waits, feeling self-conscious. Mahiru finally emerges in a white bikini and pigtails, leaving Amane breathless and blushing. Noticing other men staring, Amane immediately drapes his hoodie over her shoulders, a clear act of protectiveness and jealousy. Mahiru is pleased by his reaction, pulling the hoodie tighter and clinging to his arm, showing everyone she is taken. She teases him about his possessiveness, and he admits his desire to keep her beauty to himself.

Mahiru's fear of water becomes evident as they step into the pool, gripping Amane's hands tightly. He gently guides her into the shallow end, promising not to let go. Standing in the water, Amane declares his desire to support and protect her for the rest of their lives. Mahiru is deeply moved, her eyes welling with tears, and she reciprocates his commitment. They play in the water, Amane catching her as she falls, solidifying his role as her protector.

Amane and Mahiru share a quiet moment over a soda before Itsuki and Chitose boisterously join them. Chitose playfully teases Mahiru, inadvertently revealing she also bought a 'black bikini,' shocking Amane. The friends spend the afternoon playing in the pool, and Itsuki notes Mahiru's newfound, genuine smiles, crediting Amane. As they walk home, Chitose makes one final tease about the black bikini, hinting at a private viewing, leaving Amane both hopeful and nervous about their summer ahead.
