A brief recap of episode 4

In Horimiya: The Missing Pieces episode 4, the 'kotatsu' becomes the focal point of comedic mishaps and heartwarming moments. The episode opened by showing Shouta, Hori, and Miyamura studying together, accompanied by Hori's dad, Kyosuke, who attempted to join them under the kotatsu's warmth, but was shooed away by Hori, only to eventually make some place for himself there.

As they all sat around it, the cozy atmosphere proved too much for them, causing them all to doze off. However, when Miyamura tried getting up to use the toilet, they found themself in a messy situation with their legs tangled under the table. Fans frequently saw Miyamura and Hori falling asleep together while attempting to study around it.

A particularly heart-fluttering moment occurred when Miyamura suddenly fed Hori a piece of peeled orange from his mouth. Later in Horimiya: The Missing Pieces episode 4, Miyamura and Ishikawa went to see Sengoku and unexpectedly found a photo book containing a childhood picture of Hori and Sengoku in the pool.

The episode took another humorous turn when Kyosuke "abducted" Sengoku to his house, and the following day, both Sengoku and his father, Takeru, ended up around the kotatsu. This happened after Miyamura and Hori met Takeru in a store, where Takeru hilariously warned Miyamura about Hori.

The comedy escalated as Kyosuke's connection to Sengoku's father was revealed and a funny argument between the two dads started as they remembered their high school days. It was also revealed that Sengoku had not told his father about his girlfriend, which gave Hori the opportunity to playfully frighten Sengoku.

Amidst all the chaos, Miyamura understood that the Sengokus are always intimidated by Horis. Horimiya: The Missing Pieces episode 4 concluded with a heart fluttering scene from another day in which Miyamura tenderly licked Hori's orange-tinted fingers after she had some oranges.
