Hitagi accompanies her father. When Araragi realises this, he tells himself that it's not a date but a toture.

As for "Kanbaru's body", we need to understand the relationship between Araragi, Senjogahara, and Kanbaru,
which shoud be shown in the next arc of the anime. Personally I like Kanbaru's character, but I don't know how
the anime will deal with it because she is er... a pervert.

Anyway, I will translate relevant part of conversation between Araragi and Senjogahara on the date.
I think it contains author's explanation (or excuse ) for the female pervert(?) characters.

Spoiler for translation:

Araragi: By the way, why is Kanbaru so lewd?

Senjogahara: Is she? You mean that Kanbaru is lewd?

Araragi: Yes. Was she like that in the middle school, too?

Senjogahara: Put aside talking about a mid schooler, do you really think she is lewd?

Araragi: Of course, even Oshino recognises her as an Ero character rather than a sports character.
(note: Oshino would call Kanbaru "Ero-chan")

Senjogahara: Well... Is it because Oshino and you see Kanbaru only from male's perspective that values
feminine modesty? It's man's theory, isn't it? Simply speaking, Kanbaru is just honest for herself. Also,
I don't think she is over the line.

Araragi: Hmm.. I don't know about that.

Senjogahara: If you read shojo-manga or BL novels for mid school girls, you will not be able to say that
Kanbaru is a pervert.

Araragi: Well.. but I will not read that kind of things. (If I read them, especially BL, I will feel like
I am deprived of something important inside me - Araragi's thinking)

Senjogahara: Won't you? But I cannot ignore the fact that my cute kohai is a victim of such prejudice.

Araragi: So what will you do then?

Senjogahara: Well.. what shall I do? I will shake your moral value system, then Kanbaru will be seen
as an innocent girl.

The following conversation was censored by the author (something like XXXXX XXXX), then she bites
Araragi's ear. In the end, Araragi cannot help to accept that Kanbaru is pure and innocent.

Feels a bit like Nishio is breaking the fourth wall there and speaking directly to us. I wonder if Senjougahara partakes in BL and shoujo fiction as well? She seems pretty well versed in the whole fujoshi culture.
