Hearthrob Survival

Hearthrob Survival is the sixty-eighth chapter of To LOVE-Ru.

Plot
Zastin, the group's only hope, is too busy working with Rito's father, trying to finish a manga before the deadline.

Meanwhile, on the planet Okiwana, the group takes shelter in a cave and near there is a river with drinkable water. Yui is worried about what they will do without food and a change of clothes. Lala tries to cheer her up, but Yui tells Lala to leave her alone because it is all her fault. Lala then gets very quiet and apologizes, surprising Yui. Haruna then brings fruits found in a tree nearby and Peke scans it to make sure the fruit is edible or not. The scan proves positive and they eat. Haruna proposes to go back and pick other fruits, so the food problem is solved. Haruna reassures Lala that it's not her fault and that everything will be alright if they are well organized. Lala is very happy and thanks Haruna saying she's awesome. Even Rito thought Haruna would be scared, but instead, she supported them. Rito, Saruyama, and Run all go to set up camp while Yui contemplates to herself.

Rito and Saruyama spend thirty minutes trying to start a fire to keep away animals like the dinosaur. They manage to get a couple of embers, but it goes out. Lala (returned with many fruits) then uses her Almighty Tool to quickly light a fire. Later, the girls make beds out of bunches of dead leaves to put in the cave. After collecting so many leaves, the girls are tired. Suddenly, Rito and Saruyama come with a need, and they discover a hot spring near the cave. Lala comments that it's like a natural open-air bath. Saruyama proposes to let the girls go in first.

The girls enjoy the water, and Run finds it and comes out from a small stream. Lala says she never thought they could have a hot spring in this place and Haruna says it's like being in a hotel. Suddenly, Yui apologizes to Lala for what she said earlier admitting this kind of experience is not bad after all and that she should have joined her and helped Haruna. Happy, Lala then jumps on Yui calling her sweet. Run is less amused by them.

Meanwhile, Saruyama and Rito are hidden behind a high rock. The first has the intent to peek the girls remembering the failure at seaside summer school last year, and Rito claims it's a bad idea. Suddenly, Saruyama sees one of the monkeys who stole their things. Trying to get revenge, Saruyama goes after it, pushing Rito into the hot spring. Rito falls on his head and when he looks up, there are Lala and Yui (still hugging) naked in front of him. The girls (minus Lala) look shocked at Rito, and a furious Yui calls him a shameless pervert. Rito faints from embarrassment. Meanwhile, Saruyama loses to the monkey, and Peke plays with the sand, asking if there is a way to leave the planet.
