Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian - Episode 7

In Episode 7, the plot thickens with the appearance of Kimishima Ayano, who introduces herself as Yuki's personal assistant and hints at the complex family dynamics between Yuki and Masachika. Masachika assures Ayano that his decision to leave the Suou family and flee with Alya was his own and not influenced by his father, and that he still likes Yuki very much.

Ayano consoles Masachika's resolve, even though she is disappointed that he has distanced himself from the Suou clan. In between, there is a lighthearted moment when Alya flirts in Russian, and Masachika's friends test his loyalty with a tabloid magazine, subtly highlighting his affection for Alya.

When Ayano reports back to Yuki, we learn that Yuki is well aware of the seriousness of Masachika's choice. This is followed by a playful back-and-forth where Yuki teases Ayano for her submissive behavior, a humorous moment that eases the tension.

The episode transitions to a welcome party for the new student council members, where Yuki and Alya engage in a friendly poker game. While Yuki dominates the game, the focus shifts to Masha, who reflects on her relaxed approach in contrast to Alya's intensity. Masha also suspects that Masachika hides his true sense of responsibility behind his carefree demeanor, which Masachika does not deny, explaining that he wants to avoid high expectations.

The episode ends with unexpected drama when Taniyama Sayaka confronts Alya, accusing her of stealing Masachika from Yuki. Masachika defends Alya, leading to a sudden challenge from Sayaka.
