Shakugan no Shana Ep. 09

Episode title: Poolside of Love and Lust (恋と欲望のプールサイド: Koi to Yokubou no Poolside)

Basically, this was just a fanservicey type episode... or it tried to build the romantic triangle-tension between Kazumi, Yuuji, and Shana... and other love interests, such as Matake Ogata's crush on Eita Tanaka (one of the guys looking after Marjorie).

Basic plot: Yuuji's best friend Hayato gets a bunch of free tickets from his dad to the local water park. Matake suggest everyone go on the same day. When they get there, Kazumi and Shana get interested in the couple's headband/ribbon pulling contest because the winner will get a dinner for two at a ritzy restaurant and handmade bread (Kazumi dreams of dinner with Yuuji while Shana dreams of all you can eat melon bread). At the pool, the other flame haze Marjorie also come by coincidence (she just wanted to escape the heat).

I think I'm getting a bit tired of Shana saying "urusai urusai urusai!" so often to Yuuji. She needs to understand her feelings for Yuuji soon.
