Plot
The story begins with Miia waiting for Kimihito to take her on a date, but questions the fact that Mero is tagging along, as she wants an actual date. Mero assures her she merely wants to be Kimihito's mistress and is there to offer Miia her full support. Kimihito reminds them they merely went on a date to expose the person who wrote the death threat.

In a flashback, Ms Smith reveals that the letter seems to be too ill prepared to come from someone opposed to the idea of interspecies marriage, and rather seems to be from a single person, likely a woman. She then assures them a member of her squad will be watching them. Back in the present, Tionishia futilely trying to blend in with a group of humans, which, however, just only because of her enomous size doesn't work. Meanwhile, a mysterious figure with a fanged mouth is seen watching Kimihito and the girls from the shadows.

Upon Mero's suggestion and insistence, Kimihito, Miia and Mero arrive at an aquarium, where Mero manages to get them in for free. Mero seperates herself from the other two, who go to look at the fish, some of them reminding them of their friends. Miia and Kimihito have a good time, which causes Miia to be happy Mero send them there. The pair then sees a pair of Kissing gourami in an aquarium, and assume they must be lovers. Miia and Kimihito are about to kiss when Mero interrupts, revealing that the fish are actually two males competing. Miia gets angry at her for ruining the moment, which causes Mero to reveal even more fish trivia. Miia gets frustrated until she notices Mero has left.

Miia and Kimihito then go watch a dolphin show, and are surprised to see Mero participating in the show, revealing how she managed to get them inside. However, Miia gets jealous when she sees Kimihito enjoying Mero's show. Miia leaves and accidentally stumbles upon another lizard extraspecies. The person seems to be an attractive young man who Miia assumes is a Lizardman. They bond over the fact that they're both reptilian Liminals and the Lizardman offers to take her outside, in the warm sun.

Unbeknownst to them, Tio is watching them. Tio, who is holding onto a distressed Dolphin who she mistakenly believes she is allowed to take with her, calls Smith and tells her about Miia and the Lizardman. Tio asks if she should follow them, although she thinks she can't leave Kimihito alone. However, Ms Smith points out that Kimihito might not be the only target and that the culprit might be targeting Miia and the other girls to threatened him with. Startled, Tio realizes that this could mean that Miia is in danger, but the Lamia and the Lizardman have already left the Marine park.

Miia and the Lizardman are then seen on a rowing boat in the middle of a lake. The Lizardman offers his jacket to Miia to keep her warm and then states Kimihito must be a bad person to bring another person to their date. However, Miia gets angry and defends Kimihito, explaining that he's just such a kind person that he got caught up with taking care of Mero. Angry, Miia loudly says that this was all Mero's fault since she claimed to support her, but then just ended up flirting with Kimihito. Dreamily, Miia says that Kimihito couldn't leave Mero alone and that it's that kindness that Miia loves about him.

Annoyed by Miia's crush, the Lizardman then reveals his true colours and says he hates humans and wants Miia as she is like themself, a reptilian Liminal. He also adds with a wicked grin that he will "take care of Kimihito himself" if he gets in his way. Distraught, Miia tries to calm the situation down with words. However, when she refers to the stranger as a "Lizardman", he spreads two previously hidden wings from his back and reveals he is actually a Dragonnewt named Draco, and claims to be the king of all reptiles and animals.

Due to his name beginning with a "D", Miia, startled, suspects he might be the one who wrote the death threat. Draco then holds Miia still while he starts taking off her clothes, again saying he hates humans and wants Miia for himself. Miia begs Kimihito to save her. Suddenly, a paddle boat piloted by a furious Kimihto comes moving towards them at high speed. Draco tries to move their boat away, only to discover Mero has stolen the oars.

Kimihito rams them and then pulls Miia to shore and to prevent her from cooling down he gives her his jacket. Then, a shivering Draco comes out of the water and demands that Kimihito returns his "bride". Draco tries to threaten them with his status as a Dragonnewt, but Miia simply throws the can of coffee he gave her earlier at his head. Kimihto then walks up to Draco and tries to convince him to take off his wet clothes before he starts hibernating due to the cold. Draco refuses, the two struggle and Kimihito accidentally rips of Draco's shirt, revealing him to be a very androgynous woman. Draco gets embarrassed and angry and claims she merely wanted a friend who's a reptile like her, and says this is why she hates men. When Miia mentions the letter, Draco says she has no idea what they're talking about. Draco then runs away and claims they haven't won yet.

Miia then notices a pendant of a snake in the form of a heart lying on the ground. Kimihito reveals he bought it for her and was planning on giving it to her on the right moment. Miia happily embraces him and starts accidentally crushing him. She quickly stops and the two share a moment. Mero watches them and seems happy at first, but quickly realizes, to her confusion, that she is not that happy with seeing Kimihito and Miia together.

Finally, Tionishia is seen holding a struggling and furious Draco down while Smith writes her violation down and says that if she leaves her host family like that again, the punishment will be more severe. Draco merely screams she is never going to give up on Miia.
