Dejected after learning about his club's situation, Masamune wonders what he should do to save the manga club from transferring to the Aquarium club. Ririsa feels they should look for an advisor. As the club's leader, Masamune assures Ririsa that he will do everything to save their club.

He asks every teacher to become their advisor but no one agrees. Eventually, one of the teachers advises Masamune to look for Hanyu, who recently joined the faculty. Following the suggestion, Masamune goes to Hanyu and discovers that she's the Mayura whom Ririsa is obsessed with.

After retiring from the cosplay industry, she has commenced a new life as a teacher. Hanyu is intrigued when she learns that Masamune's club is based on manga and cosplays. However, she doesn't accept the boy's request at first.

Yet, after learning about how much Ririsa adores Mayura, she decides to become their advisor. However, Hanyu tells Masamune and Ririsa that having an advisor alone won't be enough to save the club's fate; they have to prepare a solid report and submit it to the student council.

In other words, they must show that the club has a purpose. On Hanyu's suggestion, Masamune and Ririsa go to an elementary school to read manga, which counts as a community service. However, the children don't listen to them.

The next day, Hanyu recalls Eri's words and wonders what she truly wants. Later, she enters the manga/cosplay club to enquire about Masamune and Ririsa's report. However, the episode ends with the duo telling their teacher that they won't use the report they prepared.
