Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable - Episode 4

In the fourth episode of "Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable!", Tsubasa and her grandmother share the amusing misunderstanding that it’s common in Hokkaido to walk to school during a snowstorm. This potentially dangerous misconception is fortunately cleared up when Minami and her mother, who looks strikingly similar to her daughter, offer Tsubasa a ride. The warm car is a welcome change from the freezing cold outside. During the drive, Minami’s mother playfully suggests that Tsubasa should go on a date with her daughter, a nod to the close bond between Tsubasa and Minami.

At school, Tsubasa’s camaraderie with Sayuri—particularly their shared soreness after skiing—catches Minami’s attention. She expresses a desire to join in, even though her good skiing skills leave her pain-free. An awkward moment arises when Tsubasa, trying to bond with Sayuri over video games, accidentally phrases his interest in a way that could be misinterpreted, sparking a hint of jealousy in Minami.

The trio decides to go to the mall after school, where Minami, who has never played a video game before, has a blast—especially after clearing a level with Sayuri’s help. This triumphant moment fosters a newfound friendship between Minami and Sayuri, celebrated with the purchase of cosmetics and a photo booth session, documented with a sticker on Tsubasa’s phone.

However, the episode takes a comedic turn when Tsubasa unexpectedly receives a text from Minami, who is in the middle of a half-bath. In a playful attempt to fluster Tsubasa, Minami accidentally gives him more of a view than intended during a video call, but Tsubasa’s quick reflexes save both of them from embarrassment. The incident leaves Minami slightly flustered, which her mother quickly notices but misinterprets as dizziness from the bath. Reflecting on her actions, Minami humorously compares her teasing to that of another character, Nagatoro Hayase, realizing that sometimes she goes further than she originally intended.
