A brief recap of what happened earlier

Shuutaro’s little sister, Ryoko, visited him at school to deliver the lunchbox he forgot to carry. Shuutaro eventually learned that Ryoko had been traveling for five days on her oxcart. Ataru had already met Ryoko on his way to school, and his first impression of her was frightening since she scared him with her pranks. Shuutaro broke Ryoko’s heart by refusing to eat her lunchbox.

To impress Ryoko, Ataru stepped in to eat her lunchbox, regardless of getting food poisoning. The latter tried to flirt with the former, but Shuutaro got in the way. Ataru promised Ryoko that he would visit her soon. Ryoko invited most of Shuutaro’s friends and even Benten and Oyuki, who happened to be there to celebrate the New Year at her family mansion.

Shuutaro didn’t have the knowledge that his family had turned the entire house into a board game. Despite making it to the finishing point, Ataru and Shuutaro were launched into the sky by Ryoko’s personalized rocket.
