Blue Archive: The Animation Episode 8 is titled Secret and sees Sensei and the Countermeasures Committee embark on an outing to the aquarium, led by Hoshino's enthusiastic insistence. Upon arriving, the group is immersed in the mesmerizing world of marine life.

Hoshino impresses everyone with her extensive knowledge of marine biology, explaining the intricate details of how various creatures breathe underwater. As they marvel at the tropical fish exhibit, both Serika and Hoshino comment on the cuteness and edibility of the fish, leading to Serika worrying that Hoshino, along with Shiroko and Nonomi, might actually want to eat the fish.

When Sensei returns in Blue Archive: The Animation Episode 8, Hoshino and Serika seek his opinion, but he misinterprets the situation and inadvertently implies that he finds Hoshino cuter, leaving Serika dismayed.
