A Date with a Prince?! Megu is a Princess?!

Miki and Megu are hanging out at Megu’s house. Genzo arrives, wearing a yukata, saying it’s his 16th birthday. He asks Megu to throw a party for him. He even brought a cake with 16 candles. He hands Megu and Miki presents, asking the two to give him the gifts later. Miki and Megu play along with Genzo’s crazy antics. Genzo opens the gifts, finds toy cars inside, and plays with them. Then, Genzo becomes serious and says that since he’s an adult now, he asks Megu to marry him. Megu’s dad pops out from the trapdoor at the floor and yells and Genzo but Yoriko-san (the maid) drags him back.

Miki pops Genzo’s bubble by saying men can’t get married at 16, they have to wait until they’re 18. Genzo tries to hide his surprise but fails. Miki then mentions that Megu’s birthday is coming the day after tomorrow and, unlike Genzo, she’s at the right age to be married, according to law. Genzo throws a tantrum, saying he’ll break the law or something. Megu’s dad pops out again, saying that they’ll throw a party, but to Genzo’s chagrin, he says they’ll invite boys 18 and over only.

Who wouldn’t wipe their hands
after kissing that?It’s the night of Megu’s party and the men start coming. Megu panics about what to do. She thinks her old tricks won’t work since her guests are all adults. Megu feigns a broken leg so that nobody would ask her to dance but Yoriko-san catches on to her, saying bandages won’t look good with a dress.

Megu has a humongous cake in the ballroom. She arrives, spots Miki, but as she runs towards her best friend, her male guests stop her, asking her out and stuff. A blond man rescues her from her overly adoring fans and the two start speaking in French. He reaches out to Megu’s hand and Megu thought he was going to shake it but he leans down to kiss it instead. He ends up kissing Genzo’s hand (he’s still wearing a yukata by the way). The blond man wipes his mouth with a hanky. Genzo washes his hand with wine and wipes it with a towel. Genzo challenges him to fight but he gets dragged out by one of the security guards.

And you call yourself a man?Megu retire to her room with Miki and Yoriko. Miki and Yoriko are gushing about the foreigner but Megu seems unmoved. Megu’s mom arrives, declaring that that man is Pierre-sama, Ororia’s crown prince (where’s that?). Miki and Yoriko resolve to marry Megu to Pierre-sama but Megu tells them to cut her some slack. Megu’s mom says it’s not possible since the prince already asked Megu out on a date. Outside, Genzo wants to go in but the guard won’t let him, saying Megu has a date tomorrow. Genzo looks devastated.

The next day, Megu is dressed in a baggy shirt, shorts, sneakers, while wearing a baseball cap backwards. Yoriko tries to stop her, saying that Megu won’t be playing catch with the prince. Pierre is waiting by the gate and he’s wearing athletic gear, too. Pierre sweet talks Megu and the pair walks to Pierre’s car. Apparently, Genzo is following them but when they drive off, he was unable to catch up.

While driving, Pierre thinks Megu likes him because she can’t take her eyes off him. Actually, Megu thinks he’s a playboy who probably has five other girlfriends on the side. Megu directs him to the riverside and surprisingly, Pierre is well-prepared for a picnic.
Way to go, Megu!They talk and Megu tells him he likes men who are manly more than men who just chase after girls. Pierre asks her how to be manly (and apparently, he doesn’t have 5 girlfriends, he has 50!) so that Megu will like him. Megu resolves to show him what it takes to be manly and she defeats him at rock-throwing.

On the way home, they see a struggling duck because it’s feet got caught in a wire or something. Megu runs to save it but Pierre volunteers to do it in order to impress Megu. He hesitates because the water is dirty and it’s a high jump to the river. Megu jumps and saves it instead, telling Pierre not to force it if he can’t. When Megu climbs out, Pierre proposes but then his 50 girlfriends show up, mad. Megu contemplates striking him but decides against it because he’s royalty. Genzo hits him instead. Since she’s wet, Genzo gives his shirt to Megu. Megu sees him shirtless and runs away, calling him a pervert.
