In the season finale, a new kitten named Dai-chan is introduced, who becomes famous for its ability to stand and walk on two legs. Dai-chan is adopted by Yukichi and Yume-chan, the niece of Boss Orizuka, and becomes a social media sensation.
Fukuzawa faces entirely different challenges. Her colleagues notice that she struggles with her communication skills, particularly in finding the right words. They suggest she practice speaking and even use her smartphone’s AI for conversations. Fukuzawa tries various methods to keep her mind active, such as playing games with Yukichi, but she keeps losing.
Yukichi, worried about Fukuzawa’s well-being, decides to take action. He watches a cooking show about preparing rice balls and miso soup and resolves to make these dishes for Fukuzawa. The next day, Fukuzawa shares her homemade lunch with her colleagues, who are impressed by the quality of the food. When asked who taught her to cook, Fukuzawa hesitates but ultimately credits Yukichi, further solidifying the cat’s reputation as a masterful creature.
The episode also highlights Yukichi’s ongoing feud with his landlord, who despises cats. Despite the landlord’s attempts to drive them away, Yukichi remains steadfast and even takes it upon himself to sort the trash properly.
In the end, Yukichi becomes aware of his responsibility and vows to continue looking after Fukuzawa, whom he believes is weakening due to poor nutrition. He decides to learn how to prepare rice balls and miso soup to improve Fukuzawa’s health.
The episode concludes with Fukuzawa coming home and asking Yukichi what’s for dinner, while viewers await the cat’s next feat. The story skillfully intertwines the challenges faced by Fukuzawa and Yukichi, offering a balanced view of their shared life and setting the stage for a (potential) next season of their adventures.
