Episode 23

Everyone's Reactions

It was so reassuring to see Shizuku and Toho working together properly this time, instead of going their separate ways like they did in Karuizawa. Their combo of Shizuku's nose and Toho's knowledge is seriously the ultimate duo! Watching them sniff out the vineyard at the Matterhorn felt like a classic wine detective scene—so cool. I was also blown away by their speed, processing 1,000 bottles in just two or three days. But the heavy machinery attack? That was such an unexpected twist that it made me laugh. Hayama-san is really stepping up as a mentor, helping Shizuku-kun gain confidence by making him realize his own potential. It’s sweet how he feels bad for Miyabi-chan since she had the same reaction—kind of tugs at your heartstrings. And now that I realize Toho-san only has two more episodes left, it makes me feel a little sad.
