In Episode 5 of Hyakkano, the next girlfriend is introduced: Eiai Nano, known for her academic brilliance and rumored to be an advanced AI. Yet, when she and Rentarou lock eyes, the magic of soulmates reveals her human nature.
Eiai Nano displays a different dynamic compared to Rentarou's previous girlfriends. While the others were emotionally open, Nano suppresses her newfound love and hides behind a facade of cold logic. A comedic moment arises when she sucks on Rentarou's finger under the guise of practicality, much to the amusement of Karane and Hakari.
Later, Nano rejects Rentarou's lemonade gesture, dismissing non-academic activities as pointless. She equates worth solely with utility and advantage, showcasing her pragmatic outlook on life. However, in her sparsely furnished room, thoughts of Rentarou disrupt her concentration, hinting at an emotional turmoil within.
She begins questioning her own beliefs and asks Rentarou out on a date, only for him to refuse, believing she could simply set aside her feelings. Undeterred by this rejection, Rentarou proposes a date to prove that romance holds meaning beyond logical calculations.
The amusement park date is marked by Nano's critical analysis of every activity, but everything changes on the Ferris wheel. Nano's acrophobia surfaces, and in a moment of vulnerability, she seeks comfort in Rentarou's presence, experiencing a connection she had never felt before.
The day ends with Rentarou noticing Nano's subtle emotions in the photos from her instant camera, challenging her self-perception of being emotionless. In a dramatic moment, when Rentarou pretends to burn the photos, Nano's instinctive reaction to save them proves she has come to value the day.
Nano reconsiders her stance on pleasure and romance, realizing she may have missed meaningful experiences. She confidently enters a relationship with Rentarou, marking a shift in her life philosophy.
The episode concludes with Nano's introduction to the group, completing Rentarou's circle of girlfriends.
