Chitoge's feared workaholic mother, Hana, arrives in the midst of the holidays and Chitoge invites Raku in welcoming her. After a rocky meeting with her husband and daughter, Hana appoints Raku as her new secretary to test his worth as her daughter's lover; if Raku succeeds on meeting Hana's expectations and gains her approval, she will reward Raku and Chitoge a one night-stay in a premium hotel suite on Christmas Eve. While Raku feels overwhelmed by Hana's tight schedule and tensed by the workload assigned to him, Chitoge makes a call to her mother and asks that they bond together as mother and daughter on Christmas Eve. Declining her daughter's request under the pretense of being busy, Raku scolds Hana for prioritizing her job over her daughter.
