He needs to "bask" in the sun to grow a nice "strong" body, though.

Episodes

Chapters
1	Episode 1	Spring
Adonis and Souma are conversing in their classroom. Adonis requests to eat and go shopping after school with Souma, since he's heard it's something Japanese high school students do. Souma has to decline, since he's busy after school. Adonis notes that this has been frequent for Souma the past few days, but avoids asking about it since he's used to getting annoyed by his sisters constantly asking things of him and wouldn't want to annoy Souma. Souma sympathizes with Adonis, and tells him he's there for him if he ever needs to talk about his troubles. Adonis tells him it goes both ways, but only if Souma wants to talk about it. Souma thinks Adonis has misunderstood what he meant, and that he isn't keeping anything from him. Souma notices Anzu behind Adonis, who was just standing there because Adonis was in her way. He apologizes, and then she apologizes for eavesdropping on the two, but admits her curiosity about what Souma will be doing later. She thinks that as a producer, she has a responsibility to keep up with her idols, and the two praise her for being such a good producer so soon after transferring. Souma says he has to go use garden terrace's kitchen before someone else gets to it, and that it'd be difficult to explain, so they should just follow him there.
2	Episode 2	Spring
Now at the kitchen, Souma begins to explain. These past few days he's been making feed for the Marine Life Club's pond turtle. Adonis praises him for being a diligent club member, but Souma clarifies that actually taking care of the animals is left to only Kanata, since they're very hard to care for. Kanata rejected his request to help take care of them, so Souma just does what he can to make up for his feeling of not being very helpful. He also chastises Kaoru for his laziness and lack of effort put into the club. The mere mention of Kaoru causes Anzu to hide behind Adonis. Him and Souma both swear to protect Anzu if he tries anything. Souma gets the conversation back on track and explains that he's also been reading a book about pond turtle care. His attachment to the turtle stems from when he watched a documentary about sea turtles which moved him to tears. He was sad that the Marine Life Club didn't have sea turtles, but is more than content with the pond turtle. He even named the turtle Kamegorou, despite Kanata never naming any of the animals. He makes feed because he wants to do more for Kamegorou, and ensure that he never grows tired of eating the same food in the club.
3	Episode 3	Spring
Adonis and Anzu are both interested in meeting Kamegorou, so they help Souma make the feed. Initially, Souma is crushing up regular turtle food while Anzu boils chicken and Adonis waits to wrap it into dumplings at the end, but Souma switches to letting Adonis crush it since he was uneasy just standing around and his strength would make the process faster. The three finish and they head for the club room. Meanwhile, Kaoru just had a date cancel on him. He no longer has any plan for the day, so he laments the lack of girls around to go on dates with. Besides Anzu, that is, who he sees coming his way.
4	Episode 4	Spring
Souma feels a dangerous presence the way they're headed. Before he can make them detour, the said dangerous presence of Kaoru approaches them. Adonis and Souma try their best to protect Anzu from him. Kaoru manages to get Adonis to back off by making him feel as though he's betraying his senior in Undead. His remaining bickering with Souma is stopped by Kanata showing up and telling them not to fight.
5	Episode 5	Spring
Souma and Kaoru both try to get Kanata to side with them, but he remains neutral, and thinks they can end up getting along with each other eventually. He thinks the fighting is a display of how close they are, and wants to eat fish with everyone to commemorate that. Souma has to decline since he feels they've already wasted enough time for Kamegorou dealing with Kaoru, so Kanata asks just Kaoru to go with him.
6	Episode 6	Spring
Kaoru initially rejects Kanata since he wants to spend time with Anzu, but eventually agrees, so they go to have a beach barbecue. Souma and Adonis make sure Anzu knows she can rely on them for protection. They finally make it to the club room and feed Kamegorou. Souma mentions that he can't feed him every day as to regulate his food, but it's hard to be strict with him since he's so cute. He tries to explain this to Kamegorou, who begins to crawl up his arm, but he does not understand since he is a turtle. He allows Adonis to touch Kamegorou, who becomes delighted that such a small creature isn't scared of him. Then Anzu pets him.
7	Episode 7	Spring
Another day, Adonis notices that Souma isn't in class. He's left a note and lunchbox at his seat for Adonis explaining that he had to take care of Kamegorou today so they couldn't have lunch together, but to eat the box he had made for him. Adonis and Anzu discuss eating until Souma runs in, very panicked. He explains that Kamegorou's gone missing from the club room. Adonis goes to ask his own club to help search, while Anzu suggests she and Souma look back in the club room. Kaoru happens to be there, waiting for Kanata to give him the club room's keys. Souma barges in, surprising him, and they squabble about Kaoru's legitimacy as a club member. Souma mentions the situation with Kamegorou and Kaoru says he might be of help.
8	Episode 8	Spring
Kaoru messes with Souma for a bit before recognizing how important Kamegorou is to him and getting a bit serious. He directs Souma to the fountain where Kanata is since he had mentioned sunbathing with a turtle before, so he isn't sure, but he suspects that Kamegorou would be with him. Souma runs off and Kaoru tries to make a move on Anzu, but understands her worry for Kamegorou and leaves her be. Kanata was actually at the fountain with Kamegorou, making him sunbathe so he wouldn't get sick. Souma is excited to find him again, but Kanata scolds him for messing with his sunbathing. Souma apologizes to them both. He has to explain to Kanata that he named the turtle Kamegorou, which he also apologizes for, since he didn't get permission.
9	Episode 9	Spring
Kanata tells him he doesn't have to be sorry, since it's proof Souma loves the sea. They hear footsteps approaching and get worried it's a teacher or student council member who'd scold Kanata for being in the fountain, but it's just Anzu and Adonis. Anzu ran into Adonis on the way to the fountain and caught him up to speed, so they came together. Souma apologizes for leaving Anzu with Kaoru, and remembers to give Kanata the club room key. Kanata tells Souma to call Kaoru by his name and he obliges. Adonis is hungry since he usually eats around this time, so the group all decides to have a meal of fish and meat together. And turtle feed for Kamegorou.
