Nino encourages Fuutarou about his future love life, despite labelling him as a tactless guy.[31] Ichika also said the same thing when she visits him in the hospital.
The older Fuutarou is someone who doesn't pay attention to everything except work.[32] The test sheet is written specifically for each sister.[33] Fuutarou then tells them that they don't need to pay him now, and that they could do so in the future.[34] Fuutarou worked on various food-related part-time job.
