In Episode 2, Kobato and Osanai coincidentally meet while shopping. Osanai tells Kobato that her bicycle and strawberry tarts were stolen. She was called to the trust teacher's office after her bicycle was found during a break-in at a student dormitory. Kobato offers to cheer her up by treating her to cake at a café.
During their conversation, Kobato receives a message from Kengo, inviting him and Osanai to come over. The two agree and visit Kengo, who welcomes them with hot cocoa. Kengo explains in detail how to make the perfect cocoa: First, mix the cocoa powder with a bit of hot milk into a paste, then add more hot milk.
As they enjoy the cocoa, Kengo asks Kobato an unexpected question: "What happened to you in middle school?" Kengo notices that Kobato has changed significantly and tries to find out why. Kobato explains that nothing special happened and that he simply changed over time.
When Osanai uses the bathroom, Kengo's sister Chisato notices that the dishes are dry even though Kengo made hot cocoa. Together, they reconstruct the preparation and eventually discover that Kengo heated the milk directly in the carton in the microwave to save dishes. This discovery leads to amusement and admiration.
At the end of the episode, Kobato explains that he has stopped being a detective, and Osanai assures him that she accepts him as he is, no matter what role he plays.
