I recommend you all to watch episode four; a cute one full of Marie and Nina kawaii & moe -ness.

Spoiler:

Nina, the little blonde girl, happens to be a classmate of Marie's. She's Japanese-American: Mother = USA / Father = Japan.

In the last episode she made a flashy impression on Marie, that made the latter fearful of her. Apparently, Nina is on a childish infatuation with Marie and accosts her whenever the chance arises to hug and know her better.

Also, Marie's elurophobia (fear of cats) becomes a plot vehicle for both girls in becoming friends.

Despite his overwhelming echiness, Yuuji devises a plan as to make mending their friendship with each other.
1. He invites Nina to Kazuki's house to help Hatsune with Chinese cooking without Marie noticing.
2. Marie arrives to Kazuki's home just to find Nina helping Hatsune with dinner. She has no choice but also helping out too.
3. Yuuji tells Kazuki not to interfere and let the girls sort out alone. Dinner is served, and Yuuji serves himself a sample of Nina's Chinese pastry cookies. He makes a bitter comment about their ugly shape, which prompts Marie to pick one and taste it.
4. Marie exclaims that Nina's cooking is good, the comment which makes Nina smile blissfully. She's about to give a big hug to Marie, but the latter in fear shields herself with the teddy bear.
5. Recalling on what Yuuji told her about Marie, Nina gently shakes the hand of the teddy, and Marie replies as well with the teddy.
6. Yuuji wins another admirer on Nina, as hugs as a thanks for getting she and Marie closer; Yuuji smiles pervertedly, feeling Nina's small chest which prompts Marie to shoot him point-blank range on the face.
