"So This Is Your Room, Huh, Senpai?" (ここがセンパイの部屋っスかー) is the fifth episode of the second season of the Ijiranaide, Nagatoro-san anime series and the seventeenth episode overall.

Plot
Senpai and Nagatoro met in the morning while walking to school. After what happened the previous day, at first it's awkward to both of them and the boy has difficulties in deciding whether to calling her Hayase or not; then however the girl start pulling him by the sleeve, showing on her smartphone that is at the first place on a ranking of moves girls can do to instantly excite men. Senpai stated that it didn't excite him at all, prompting the girl to sulk and try repeatedly. Annoyed, the boy decided to grab Nagatoro's sleeve to prevent her from keep going, but he didn't get the timing right, ending up grabbing her hand instead. Right at that moment Gamo-chan, Yoshi and Sakura appeared, commenting on how bold they were for holding hands in public. Embarrassed, Nagatoro quickly tried to deny that they were holding hands, saying she was merely trying a judo move on him, without sounding believable to anyone.

The following morning, having caught the flu, Senpai took a day off and, due to his mother having a business trip, he remained home alone. In the afternoon, Nagatoro called him wondering why he wasn't at the art club and, after discovering he catch the flu and was all by himself, she felt deeply sorry for him due to knowing that she spread it to him, thus she reached his home, appearing at his window while he was taking a nap. The girl firmly denied being worried for him, yet Senpai was visibly happy that she came to visit him while he was sick and, after she convinced him not to worry about making her catch the flu again due to her body having gained an immunity, Nagatoro told him to go sleeping in his own bed instead of the couch. Senpai felt a quite embarrassed when Nagatoro entered his room with him, while she noticed how it was surprisingly clean and wondered where he was hiding his erotic books, however after seeing him coughing, she became protective, put him on bed and - not knowing where's his thermometer - took his temperature using her own forehead. They both blushed, but Nagatoro killed the moment joking on how red Senpai's face is.

As Senpai rested bedridden due to the flu, Nagatoro placed a wet blanket on his forehead and stayed at his side nursing him the whole afternoon, even calling her family to inform that she would have been at home later than usual due to wanting to watch over him. After his mother sent the boy a message to inform him that despite her good will she wouldn't make it home until very late in the evening, Nagatoro decided to cook some porridge for Senpai, who, due to the fever, started to hallucinate about being married to the girl and that she have taken a day off in order to stay at home with him while he was sick feeding him homemade porridge. Caught in the euphoria and the hallucination, Senpai thanked the girl for assisting him by calling her "Hayase", which leave her utterly shocked and pleased at the same time, which lead her to try to get rid of her discomfort by teasing the boy and daring him to repeat it; however, the latter is still too dazed to react in any manner and fell asleep, leading the girl to simply watch over him asking again to repeat her name, even going so far as to ask him "please". Sweetened up by the situation, Nagatoro asked the sleeping boy if it would be okay for him if she kissed him. Taking his obvious silence as a yes, Nagatoro leaned forward to kiss Senpai; right at that moment, his mother came back home prompting the embarrassed girl to go away, before politely explaining that she came to visit her son.

The following morning, Senpai felt better and woke up asking why he had such a weird dream, then his mother asked him who was the "adorable girl" who took care of him the previous day and if she was his girlfriend, leading the boy to blush and reply that she was simply a kōhai of his. Later, while walking to school, Senpai realized that it wasn't a dream and Nagatoro came to his house and took care of him while he was sick. After they meet along the way there was a moment of mutual embarrassment, then he thanked her for what she did and Nagatoro replied it was nothing since he did the same for her, right before starting to kick him as a "punishment" for "having been so cocky", referencing having called her by name. In order to stop her, the boy accidentally grabbed her leg causing both of them to blush; in that exact moment Gamo-chan, Yoshi and Sakura appeared mirroring the opening scene.

Trivia

 * This episode is the adaptation of Chapter 63, 64, 65 and 66, however there are a few differences:
 * When pulling Senpai's sleeve, in the manga Nagatoro mentioned (called "Pokeymon" due to copyright) stating that it would have been a one-hit KO if he was one; in the anime said line was removed.
 * When Gamo-chan, Sakura and Yoshi saw Nagatoro and Senpai holding hands, in the manga, they suddenly appeared right next to them, with Sakura and Yoshi standing to Senpai's right and Gamo-chan to Nagatoro's left, while in the anime, the trio are several feet behind the duo when they call out to them and continued to remain a short distance behind Nagatoro and Senpai when the girl tried to tell them that she was attempting to throw him.
 * Senpai's mother's eyes are shown, just like in the physical release of Volume 9, while in the digital release of Chapter 64, where she first appeared, she was shown eyeless just like many other secondary characters.
 * Also, in the manga Mrs. Hachiouji had a completely different design and, despite sharing her son's curly hair, their hairstyles were very different, however the anime depicted them as pretty much identical.
 * The episode shows what Nagatoro was doing at school alone and when searching Senpai, while the manga didn't.
 * When Senpai's mother is leaving for her business trip, in the manga she only has her purse with her, while in the anime, she also has a hardshell rolling suitcase.
 * In the manga Nagatoro didn't interact with Senpai's mother due to being too embarrassed to even speak, thus she simply ran off without even introducing and asking forgiveness for her intrusion, while in the anime the two exchange a kind short talk before the girl return to her home.
 * When Nagatoro begins kicking Senpai's legs in the manga he eventually breaks away and runs off as Nagatoro chases after him, while in the anime he eventually catches Nagatoro's leg, causing both of them to scream as they realize what just happened before Gamo-chan, Sakura and Yoshi appeared mirroring the opening scene.
