Chapters[]
Chapter 193[]
An energetic Yuuko and Mio try to guess what's inside a box which is in Mai's possession. Yuuko suggests that it is konjac jelly, while Mio suggests that it is an airplane. Mio and Yuuko forfeit and ask Mai what is in the box. After an ominous panel of Mai opening the box, it is revealed to be a Daruma with airplane wings on either side, a rock garden on its head and two antennae poking from underneath, all propped on the bottom half of a tank. Mio and Yuuko stare at it blankly as Mai calls it "a rock garden konjac daruma" and describes it as an "airplane style beetle tank."
Chapter 194[]
Yuuko tells Mio that she has good news or bad news, and that if the news is good or bad depends entirely on Mio's reaction. A smug Mio tells Yuuko to ask nicely for a turn to tell the news. Yuuko complies and Mio lets Yuuko say her news, which is the fact that there's a caterpillar on Mio's back.
Mio immediately bursts into a panic, running in circles, jumping around and screaming at Yuuko to take the caterpillar off her back. She even offers to pay Yuuko. An even smugger Yuuko responds by telling Mio to ask nicely to take the caterpillar off, to which Mio responds with "I humbly appreciate your exceptional consideration regarding this matter!! Please allow me to apologize for my rudeness earlier. I do hope you will grant me the opportunity to make it up to you at a later date. And if I make one last request... please remove this caterpillar, if you would be so kind." And Yuuko responds with a weird look.
Mai hugs Mio so tightly she can't move
Mio then reverts back to her natural state, freaking out at Yuuko about the caterpillar and telling her to take it off, despite moving around too much for Yuuko to do so. Mio asks Mai to take the caterpillar off because Yuuko can't do it apparently. Mai decides to hug Mio tight enough where she can't move. Mio yells at Mai, telling her to take it off. Throughout that entire rigmarole, the caterpillar metamorphosized and flies off of Mio's back as a butterfly.
The chapter ends with Mio Monologuing, "I think that was the moment I decided to go to college in Tokyo."
Chapter 195[]
The vice principal is disbanding clubs at will while the principal is taking a business trip, one of which is the Go/Soccer club.
The Go/Soccer club members enter the office after the vice principal called them in. Before he can say the club has been disbanded, Manabu Takasaki menacingly presents the vice principal with bamboo, which is not of interest to the vice principal. The vice principal tells Manabu the Go/Soccer club is disbanded. Manabu breaks the bamboo, revealing bamboo cooked rice. The vice principal asserts that the Go/Soccer club is disbanded. Manabu then dances around with the bamboo cooked rice in his hand, spreading the aroma. Nobody knows what is going on and Kenzaburou Daiku tries to bribe the vice principal to keep the club alive.
Kenzaburou panics and tries to tackle hug and smooch Manabu to make him come to his senses, but Makato Sakurai stops him. Makato asserts that the rice dance is all part of the plan, and explains why Manabu is doing this whole ritual. Manabu knows there's only one man who can detect the scent of bamboo cooked rice even when on a trip to far off lands, and that man is the principal.
The principal flies back, and sprints into the office. A sweaty principal intervenes, preventing the vice principal from disbanding the Go/Soccer club.
Chapter 196[]
Hakase and Nano are both having trouble staying awake. Hakase decides that the best way to stay awake is to play games with Nano to stay awake with the power of having fun.
First they play hide and seek. Nano hides as Hakase falls asleep at the ready or not phase. Then Nano, holding a fish in her right hand and a teapot in her left hand, kneels on what appears to be an overgrown parsnip and says "red light, green" and falls asleep. We are then shown a trailer for the long anticipated hit show, SnaQ. Sakamoto realizes that Hakase and Nano are trying to stay awake to catch the show in time. He then suggests that Hakase builds a device capable of recording a TV show. With her newfound revelation, she leaves the room and comes back with an automatic pinecone watering machine.
Sakamoto decides to take matters into his own paws and says he'll wake Nano and Hakase up when the show starts. To pass the time, Sakamoto lays down and falls asleep.
At exactly 12:00, whatever program that was on is "deemed to have inappropriate content." The automatic pinecone watering machine springs into action. A pinecone rises from the base and water is poured on it automatically.
Hakase wakes up and wastes no time before yelling, demanding answers as to why she wasn't woken up. But upon realizing the pinecone is wet, laughs at the pinecone.
Chapter 197[]
An extremely confused Yuuko is wondering very hard to herself. Saying "oh dear" over and over again. Mio asks Yuuko why she's saying "oh dear" and Yuuko explains that despite not studying for the test, she got a perfect score.
Mio starts chuckling to herself and asks Yuuko to repeat herself, and she explains once again that she got a perfect score despite not studying. She went home with the intent of studying, but by the time she got home, she completely forgot to. It's like she's a genius.
Mio starts laughing to herself and tells Yuuko the test was actually extremely hard and asks if Yuuko meant she got a perfect zero instead of a perfect score. Yuuko presents her test that has a perfect 100 points. Mio falls over on her back and froths at the mouth.
Chapter 198[]
Misato Tachibana and Koujirou Sasahara, riding on Kojirou, are trying to escape from a jaguar.
Misato yells at Koujirou to come up with a solution to their problem. Koujirou suggests playing dead and flops over on his back. Misato responds by smacking his head with an oversized hand fan and a "YER GONNA DIE!!!" And tells Koujirou that trick only works on bears. Koujirou realizes what he must do and calls the police to send their "jaguar eradication squadron." A bit more running later and Koujirou takes a break from running to massage Kojirou.
Misato says there's no time for a massage but Kourirou, with Kojirou on his shoulders, tells Misato there is no jaguar. Koujirou explains that if it was a real jaguar, it would've caught them by now. After some bickering, Koujirou tells Misato to look at the jaguar closer and she realizes that it's just two people in a costume.
Misato takes the costume off only to find out that Weboshi and Fecchan are the ones under the costume. Weboshi teases Misato, mocking her with "how could you ever" and Fecchan continues with "figure out a jaguar" and in unison they close with "you can't even figure out the logic of lov-" and are promptly blown up.
Chapter 199[]
Mio and Yuuko are playing The daruma fell over, which is just the Japanese red light green light. Mio chants "the daruma fell over" and turns to see Mai has not moved, at least not very much. Mio is defeated and falls over, but Yuuko catches her and takes it from there.
Yuuko unsheathes two paintbrushes and Mio recalls the rules of the game and how Mai never failed to bend the rules to the absolute limit. The first time, Mai, being it, just sat down turned towards Yuuko and Mio. The second time, she dug a tunnel to get behind Mio. And this time, Mai is moving forward at a pace not even rivaled by snails. But this time will be different. This time, Yuuko will bend the rules back against Mai. Yuuko menacingly points the paintbrushes centimeters away from Mai's face and threatens to tickle her if she doesn't move.
Yuuko tickling Mai in chapter 199.
Mai says she's not moving, so Yuuko launches her all out attack on Mai, tickling her with the paintbrushes and making her move by extension of laughing. Mio is watching astonished and thinking that the laws of the universe are unravelling before her eyes.
Chapter 200[]
Nano is cleaning a valuable piece of wall art Hakase made and urges her to not draw on the walls. Sakamoto yells about where his food is. Nano is cleaning another mess made by Hakase and Sakamoto is still yelling about where his food is. Hakase can't take it and hides inside a box she built.
Nano asks Hakase if she could've just cleaned instead of building the box and she responds with hitting Nano with a giant toy hammer that comes out of the top of the box. Sakamoto yells at Hakase and accuses her knowing where his food is and she responds with hitting him with the hammer. Sakamoto declares that the hammer doesn't phase him one bit, so she hits him again, prompting Sakamoto to threaten Hakase. Hakase then throws 4 hoops from a slit in the box which are portals that moved his paws to a different location. The portals are stuck to Sakamoto's legs and he gets bombarded with hammer whacks. Sakamoto forfeits so Hakase gives him some cat food by shooting it out of a gun poking out of the box. Sakamoto gets enraged, yells at Hakase and gets pummeled again.
Nano laughs at this and Sakamoto yells at her, pestering Nano for a solution. Nano tells Hakase she has some shark chocolate for her. The box opens up, revealing a giant keyhole. Sakamoto yells about the amount of work needed to get through but Nano says they're one step closer to getting Hakase out of the box. Nano's left arm unhinges, revealing a magnet which a whole bunch of random objects fly onto, forming a key. Nano flusters and hides in a box. Sakamoto yells at her again.
Then Hakase rolls in from the actual door holding some weird thing which she appropriately calls "some weird thing." Sakamoto interrogates her and the never before seen Biscuit 3 was in the box the whole time. Sakamoto doesn't care and screams "JUST GET THESE HOOPS OFF ME!" But Hakase corrects him with "Umm actually, they're called multi-dimensional transfer rings" that apparently can't be removed. Sakamoto screams "I'M GONNA KILL YOU DEAD." and flails what's left of his legs.
Nano giggles and it's revealed that two of the rings are under her feet and are tickling her. Meanwhile, in Yuuko's house, Yuuko spits some milk directly onto her mom's face and falls over laughing as a result of another two rings below her feet with Sakamoto's paws tickling her. The chapter ends with Yuuko's mom punching Yuuko in the face.

Chapter 202[]
Manabu Takasaki sees a girl in pigtails and thinks it's Izumi Sakurai looking into a store window. He races down to where the girl was but she's already on a cab by the time he gets there.
Manabu sees a Jamon Iberico ham in the window. Manabu overclocks his brain trying to think of what to do. He decides to buy it for 200,000 yen, which is his entire monthly income, to give to Izumi as a gift. He bursts into the shop and buys the ham. But before actually buying it, the clerk convinces Manabu to buy a "giant hunk of meat holder" and then convinces him to buy another ham to get a 40% discount on the holder. He also buys potatoes and probably a whole slew of other stuff.
Before presenting the hams to Izumi, Manabu asks her if she was gazing into a shop window the day before. Izumi responds with "I was at home all day."
Chapter 203[]
Manabu Takasaki hypes up the class for an excursion to "deepen our knowledge of Japanese." The entire class raves about the excursion but Yuuko decides to be a pessimist and ask Manabu what will happen if it rains. Manabu gives a whole motivational speech about excursing no matter what. At 6:00 am they will excurse, and Manabu specifically says that the snacks brought are up to the students. Everyone gives a "YEEEAAAH!!!"
The next day, only Yuuko, Mio, Tsuyoshi Nakanojou and Haruna Annaka. Manabu tells the four to wake up all the other classmates. But Mio informs Manabu there's a bear destroying the school and Manabu say's he's take care of that problem and then they'll excurse. Then a UFO kidnaps the bear and the excursion is back on. Then some alien comes out of the UFO and the excursion is back off. But the alien starts repairing the school and the excursion is back on again. A runway emerges from the UFO, a bunch of aliens start walking down it and the students keep urging Manabu to put the excursion off. Manabu suggests ignoring it and excursing anyway.
The aliens start destroying the school again and everyone freaks out, but the first alien repairs the school again. Manabu decides to just start the excursion, but Mio informs him that Haruna just got abducted. Manabu finally decides to cancel the excursion.
Chapter 204[]
Hakase declares "look, you guys! I created a stopwatch~" And proudly presents a camera to Mio, Yuuko, Mai and Nano.
Yuuko falls on her back laughing at the fact Hakase called a camera a stopwatch and Hakase takes a picture of Yuuko and falls on her back laughing as well. Yuuko stops moving completely and they find out the camera freezes whatever it takes a picture of in place. Yuuko tries to think of a name for the device but as she asks her friends what it should be called, she is on the roof of Shinonome Lab.
Nano says they could find out a more effective use for it and Mio then suggests the group could become "filthy rich" depending on how they use it. Everyone thinks of ways to use the hypothetical fortune. Yuuko says they could show up to school in a Ferrari, Hakase asks how many snacks could be bought and Mio says "enough to start a snack company in Silicon Valley." Everyone tosses Hakase in the air for inventing this. But Nano then asks how they'd even get money from using it and nobody can think of a way.
Everyone ponders the question and Mai thinks of the fate of Hakase if such a device would be found out by the general public. Someone dismantles the device, trying to figure out how it works. Hakase is tied up and a villainous villain thinks of taking over the world with the stopwatch.
Snapping back to reality, Yuuko asks Mai if she has any ideas, but sits on the stopwatch, breaking it. Yuuko apologizes and Mio asks Hakase to make another one, but she says "I can never make the same exact thing twice." And so, world peace was preserved.
Chapter 205[]
Fecchan is back at it again with asking Weboshi strange questions. This time she asked Weboshi "If you could bring only one thing to a deserted island, what'd it be?" for which Weboshi responds with "My choice is... NOT GOING TO THAT ISLAND." Fecchan then tells Weboshi what she would bring, which is a 'magic bag that can produce anything', an answer she came up with for the nearly the entire day prior to this moment. Weboshi asks what Fecchan would produce with the magic bag, Fecchan then tells her that she would produce a house made of hebel panels and a Matsuya foods (which comes with a cashier) next door.
Fecchan then takes back her answer as a cashier wouldn't make it a deserted island. She then gets upset that she can't have any food without a cashier, Weboshi then reminds her that she literally has a magic bag that can produce anything in that scenario, Fecchan goes back to being happy. Weboshi warns Fecchan the dangers of animals and insects on the island, Fecchan says that she would produce bug repellent candles with the magic bag. She goes listing the other different things she could produce and closes it off with "AND THERE'S NO TAXES". Weboshi gasps at this response, for which she then gets on her knees and begs Fecchan to live on the island with her, Fecchan rejects her proposition.
Weboshi then tries to get Fecchan to take back her choice, warning her about the consequences of being alone on an island, Fecchan isnt fazed. Suddenly Fecchan bursts into tears, upset that she has to stay in civilization and not live on the deserted island of her dreams. Weboshi pats her on the back and comforts her, thinking to herself "There are no words in the world that can soothe this sorrow..."

Tanaka yells and calls her a traitor, yelling "JUST WHEN THE CLASS WAS STARTING TO COME TOGETHER AS ONE!!! YOU HAD TO GO AND-" he gets cut off by Mio. She understands his frustration, but makes a point that 'it's a little messed up to get mad at a classmate for studying for a test', she had also studied for the test. Tanaka is in disbelief and gets frustrated that the class aren't united as one. He goes to Annaka, hoping that hasn’t studied and of course, she did. He then gets even more upset as he finds out that he is the only person in class who hasn't studied, throwing a tantrum.
Mio tries to comfort him, telling him even though she did studied for the test, she had not remember or learnt a single thing. Annaka comes in and confesses the same thing.

Chapter 207[]
We are introduced to a new character, Machi Tomida, and elderly lady who is a right hand pitcher and a left hand batter in baseball. Her birthday is labelled, which is on the first of January. Sitting next to her is a abnormally large bag, she doesn't seem to be fazed by it. Yuuko comes along and offers Machi to carry the bag for her, for which Machi then rejects her help. Despite this, she still tries to lift the bag, failing miserably. Yuuko's birthday is also labelled, accompanied with the text underneath 'Once fell out of a sidecar'. Then comes along Mio and just like Yuuko, has her birthday labelled but this time with the underneath text 'Once took her socks off first in strip rock-paper-scissors'.
She is absolutely flabbergasted of the size of the bag. Then Nano comes long, again labelled with her birthday and personalized text reading 'Once had four tea stalks float upright at once (a lucky omen) when no one else was around'. Yuuko and Mio think that Nano will finally show off her robot abilities to lift the bag, but she fails miserably. Mai watches this happen from a distance, again with the same occurring quirk with her labelled personalized text reading 'Once lost at strip rock-paper-scissors and removed the lenses from her glasses'. Hakase arrives at the commotion, her text reading 'Thinks chickens should lay pudding instead of eggs'. A whole group of people come along.
Annaka, text reading 'Was abducted by a UFO. Also died by drone beetle attacks several times', Tanaka, text reading 'Don't threaten him with a nice cuppa reeeeally hot tea (>_@)' and yes it literally says that. Nakanojou, text reading 'Likes "easy money"', Takasaki, text reading 'Decluttered his house so much there's nothing left', Daiku, 'There's a 1,700 square foot bathroom in his garden', Ogi, 'Likes the word "prithee"', Makoto Sakurai, 'Likes skeletons', Sekiguchi, 'Likes kotatsu heated tables' and Izumi Sakurai, 'Has been scared of the boogeyman since childhood'. After all these people arrive, Mio suggests that everyone should help to lift the large bag, but Mai had just moved the bag to the other side of the road. Ridiculously enough, the bag didn't even belong to Machi, everyone faints after finding out. Turns out, the large bag belongs to Nakamura, she's confused on why it was moved. Her personalized text reads 'Can't jump over a vaulting horse. Can't swim'. It all ends with Sakamoto sleeping on a tree, his text reads 'A black cat'.
Chapter 208[]
Annaka is on what appears to be a gameshow hosted by the one and only Double Cheeseburgirl. Annaka is playing for one million yen and she is on the final question. DC (Double Cheeseburgirl) tells her that she has four different options.
(a) Take the question
(b) Don't take the question
(c) Turn the prize money into a beef bowl and answer the question (for which Annaka gets confused after finding out about this option)
(d) Turn the beef bowl into broiled eel over rice and answer the question
Annaka takes some time to pick an option and gets off her chair, she loses her mind and gets dizzy, DC tells her to sit back down. DC then shows her that there's only three ways she can make a choice, Annaka could either call somebody she knows to make the choice, let the audience make the choice or she can make the choice fifty-fifty. Annaka chooses the make the choice fifty-fifty, DC then slims down her previous choices to either
(b) Don't answer
(c) Beef bowl
Annaka is shocked in disbelief. With no other good choices left, she chooses the beef bowl. Somehow, beef bowl was correct(I don't even understand what's going on while i write this, this humor is too advanced for me). Then to the last question for the actual one million yen, the question is "Name all five kingdoms that comprised the "Mossi Empire" in West Africa in the 15th century". Annaka is unable to answer.
Chapter 209[]
Mr. Nakanojou has once again hired a new candidate for his daifuku fair. He is frustrated that is employee is not working but is instead making a giant wood carving which is apparently scaring the customers off. The employee was actually making a giant statue of the daifuku mascot dressed as a warrior. Mr. Nakanojou is in disbelief. A whole bunch of people come along are impressed by the statue, shortly after, all the daifuku from the fair had been sold out. Impressed by the outstanding effort of this employee, Mr. Nakanojou pays them their wage with extra.
Out of nowhere, the employee throws the payment onto the ground. Mr. Nakanojou is shocked and confused by this behaviour. Turns out, this mysterious employee is Mai. She tells him that she doesn't need the money. She only did the job to carve the wood because in her vision, the daifuku mascot was trapped inside the wood, so she "set him free".
Chapter 210[]
Nakamura is back with a new plan to capture Nano. Turns out, the 'large bag' from Ch.207 is her new invention, 'Mr. Instant Enclosure'. Her plan is to pretend to have passed out to lure Nano to help her. With the press of a button, the trap will drop, enclosing them both. Inside is another new invention, 'Mr. Rescue Manual'. A robot which seems to inform people on what to do during an emergency. With this plan, she'll be able to observe Nano without her knowing. Suddenly Annaka brings Takasaki to help out Nakamura. After he asks Nakamura if she's okay, she presses the button accidentally out of shock, enclosing them both.
Mr. Rescue Manual advises Takasaki to check if Nakamura is breathing, for then he responds"'R-RIGHT!! I'VE GOTTA MAKE SURE SHE'S ALIVE. THAT'S WHAT A TEACHER DOES!!" Nakamura blushes at the thought of Takasaki checking if she's alive. He lies down and levels with her to check if she's breathing, she starts to blush more because of how close their faces are, but still proceeds to act unconscious. Takasaki stands up and loudly confesses that he has no idea if she's even breathing because he had never been up close to a woman's face before. He starts to get nervous and tear up before Mr. Rescue Manual advises him to check her heart rate. Takasaki then gets even more nervous and punches the robot, calling it a creep, then addressing that its a crime.
Mr. Rescue Manual then punches Takasaki in the face, it then rephrases and advises Takasaki to check her pulse. He then proceeds to lift Nakamura's hand, checking her pulse. Nakamura blushes even more while her heart beats faster. Takasaki then puts her hand down and confesses that he can't do it because he had never held a girl's hand before. He then admits that he blacked out when he touched her hand. Then, Mr. Rescue Manual gives the last instruction to Takasaki. To alternate between cardiac massage and mouth to mouth respiration. Both Takasaki and Nakamura go speechless and weird out until they both faint for real. Eventually they both wake up in the infirmary, but faint again when their eyes met.
Chapter 211[]
At the beginning of the day, Yuuko talks to Mio, telling her that she bought a super-expensive mechanical pencil. Mio asks her if she likes it, but Yuuko laughs and tells her that it isn't arrived yet, though Yuuko finds it funny that she has bought a bunch of things in the past because Mio told her about it. After Mio finds out about this, a somewhat smug face appears on her. After first period, Yuuko presents a strange pose to Mio. Mio asks her why she is doing it, Yuuko tells her that she's "Just givin' you a divine blessing!". Mio does the same smug face, this time calling Yuuko a weirdo.
During lunch break, Nano and Yuuko are confused on what 'stole the march' means, Mio then explains to them what it means. After finding out what it means, they note take her answer. Once again Mio does the same smug face. Before 6th period, Yuuko and Mio talk about the first person to eat a sea urchin. Mio believes that its "Probably someone who'd been shipwrecked for a week". Yuuko agrees and says that she was thinking the same thing, but then she takes it back and says that Mio's guess was a whole lot smarter than her's and she was only trying to play it cool.
It isn't shown as Mio's face is blocked with the newspaper she's reading, but most likely she had the same smug face. After school, Yuuko asks Mio, Nano and Mai what they would bring to a deserted island, for which Mio responds with "how 'bout a banana crepe!'. As the group hears this answer, they all get influenced by her and buy banana crepes together. As Mio eats her crepe she thinks to herself, "For some reason... today was just... the best day ever...".
