Episode 10 of "Hyakkano" is a thrilling mix of action, emotions, and unexpected twists. The Rentarou family embarks on a daring mission to rescue Hakari from her wealthy and domineering mother.

The episode begins with the group scaling the walls of Hakari’s luxurious estate. Each girlfriend plays a crucial role in overcoming the various obstacles they encounter. Nano proves her dedication by injuring herself to open a door, while Karane demonstrates her street smarts by distracting a gangster boss. Shizuka’s innocence and lovability accidentally tame a guard dog, and Kusuri’s quick thinking with a sleeping aid helps them infiltrate deeper into the estate.

The mission grows increasingly challenging as they face a high-tech laser security system. Kusuri sacrifices a personal opportunity to provide Rentarou with infrared eye drops, allowing him to see the lasers. Rentarou and Karane navigate the laser maze in a physically awkward yet synchronized manner, showcasing their trust and coordination.

Upon reaching Hakari’s room, they trigger an alarm, leading to a confrontation with Hakari’s mother, Hanazono Hahari. Hakari sits desperately in her room, torn between her love for Rentarou and her mother’s overbearing care.

The situation takes an unexpected turn when Rentarou, after exhausting all physical means of rescue, attempts to persuade Hahari with sincere words. Hahari reveals her own tragic past, explaining that her overprotectiveness stems from wanting to shield Hakari from the potential heartbreak of loving someone like Rentarou.

Rentarou’s empathetic nature moves her to tears, which coincidentally wash away the infrared eye drops, restoring his normal vision. In a dramatic twist, Hahari immediately falls in love with Rentarou upon making eye contact, introducing a new, complex dynamic to the story.

The episode ends with the implication that Hahari, Hakari’s mother, is now one of Rentarou’s girlfriends, expanding the group to six members.
