While walking to school in the morning, Yuuko Aioi tries to entertain Mio Naganohara and Mai Minakami with barrages of puns. Unfortunately, both girls show no reaction to her efforts. The puns are: The closure for manga differs from the anime. The manga shows Yuuko being absent, while Mio's head and Mai's elbow are visible. In the anime, all 3 don't attend class - they are shown on board of a train. The anime shows more camaraderie, yet caused a bit of confusion; where are they going during school hours?

A flashback: Nano narrates that she is a robot, created by Hakase she lives with, and has no special features. She bumps her toe, and notes that she can feel pain. Nano asks about her key; Hakase reveals that if she turns it to the right, Nano's big toe flies off. Nano begs for her key to be removed, but Hakase refuses on the grounds that it's cute. Hakase makes it up to her by telling her she can now go to school (albeit with the ulterior motive of being able to snack all she wants without being scolded), and gives her the name "Nano," as she'd had no name before.
