Kenzaburou then gets into a helicopter and tells his pilot he'll need to buy a blender and an orchard on their way home. (Because that's how ultra-wealthy people pay someone back with a juice, apparently.)

Yuuko Aioi greets Mai Minakami and Mio Naganohara good morning, while bringing her self portrait clay homework. Mio doesn't bring hers because she thought it was due tomorrow. When Yukko and Mio heard that Mai also forgets hers, Yukko says it might just rain. Mio replies that it won't be just rain, it'll be a natural disaster. As if on cue, it starts to rain. The girls take shelter at nearby temple.

To kill some time, Yukko decides to pray. She throws a coin into offering box but it bounces off Mai's book (that she spread to dry on top of the offering box) and slips between a gap in the wooden flooring. Despite that, Yukko prays anyway and then shakes the bell-cord.

The big bell falls on top of Yukko's head, hammering her down to her waist. The bell bounces off to Mio's head, breaking the wooden steps she sits on. As the bouncing bell goes Mai's direction, she evades it by leaning backwards and the bell hits a pillar instead. The vibration causes the temple door to fall on top of Mai's head.

The temple priest comes back and is in shock. As he runs towards the temple, he steps on Yukko's homework and fall backwards. The temple's torii topples inward, nearly hitting his head.

The priest considers the mohawk and these girls to be part of a curse and screams "GET OUT OF MY TEMPLE!!!" A strong wind then uproots the temple's roof and the offering box.

With offering money scattered all around them and the spring rain falling down on them, the girls decide to do so.

The Professor takes Sakamoto for a walk, but the leash is very tight and the Professor drags Sakamoto, choking him. The Professor stops when she sees Mai with her dogs, Oguri and Pyon. The Professor, who is scared of dogs, freezes in terror and Sakamoto, while trembling, tries to reason they should be safe considering the dogs are on leashes. Just then, Mai unleashes both dogs and then leaves. Before the Professor and Sakamoto can escape, Pyon goes around to block their escape route.

As the Professor cries, Yuuko Aioi greets her. Yukko and Mio are on their way to Shinonome Lab to visit Nano. Yukko and Mio think the Professor and Sakamoto are overreacting, and in order to show how these dogs are peacefully and friendly, Yukko presents her open palm to Oguri for a hand-shake. Oguri responds by biting her hand, causing Yukko to unleash an epic scream in agony. When Mio tries to calm the Professor down, Pyon bites her right leg, causing another epic scream.

Mai comes back with a grocery bag and pats her dogs. After the Professor confronts her, she gives her a box of Shark Chocolate snacks.

Seeing Buddy the Sympathy Dog and his little buddy (apparently named Little Buddy) come running, the Professor runs off, dragging Sakamoto by the collar. Buddy puts his paw on top of Yukko's back while the smaller one put his on top of Mio's head. Buddy's owner then runs up and asks what happened. The Gentleman appears, apparently the boy's grandfather, and tells him he should not underestimate the bonds between people and animals. The boy then replies by saying that his is name is Kiyoshi, not Takashi like his grandfather kept saying.

Yuuko Aioi doesn't want to do her homework. She is conflicted because she doesn't want to go to college (that means studying even more), yet getting a job without good academic record is hard.

When she tries to focus on what she wants to be, she remembers her childhood dream: to become a frilled lizard. She then set her sights on becoming a living national treasure even though she doesn't know how to become one.

As her conflict continues, her physical gestures escalates: from finger tapping to palm slapping to banging of both hands. Annoyed by her banging, her mother comes in and throws her to the floor.

Yoshino Naganohara asks Mio Naganohara to try her jam. The taste is so gross that one lick is enough to send Mio rolling on the floor. Yoshino offers a cup of Russian Tea to wash it down, but the drink is not only too hot, but also gross.

As Mio lays flat on the floor screaming, Yoshino feeds her more jam to cool off her tongue. Mio runs to the kitchen for some water, only to find a notice of a water outage. She opens the refrigerator and quickly gulps down a carton of milk, but Yoshino has replaced the content with leftover jam.

As Mio lays on the floor, her life flashes by: being a toddler, elementary school entrance ceremony, middle school graduation ceremony, cutting her hair, buying her wooden cubes for 300yen, Yukko and Mai, darume otoshi, Sasahara senpai, yakisaba, kendo assistant instructor, mont blanc with the strawberry replaced with chess piece, the drawing she made for Izumi Sakurai, though her incident wearing the daifuku costume is revisited several times.

After Mio recovers, Yoshino says that she knew the jam would be bad, but didn't think it would be bad enough to cause someone's life to flash before their eyes. While Yoshino thinks making intentionally bad jam would be fun, Mio is furious. Yoshino reveals that it was dried salted horse mackerel jam, making this Mio's second bad experience with mackerel.
