## Plot

Jobko shows the extra stuff for today, and Serufu and Takumi amaze her. Jobko hides her hand to pose "good job". Shii brought up that she made a 3D printer and even knows at the school. She ditched the security when she snuck in, and Jobko admitted her like a shinobi. Takumi brought those four aprons for them when she made it. She already took the aprons from Waku Waku Wan Wan the other day and thought it would be nice if the DIY Club had something official to wear. They are wearing the aprons, Takumi is so glad for them, Shii will treasure them, and Rei just inspired it by *SunGirls*. Takumi remembered them in the garden club all putting on their matching aprons, and she wanted to try doing it herself. Rei would discuss her with the *SunGirls* manga. Rei would explain to them our income and expenditures today.

Jobko presented the resulting items that were sold out and Rei had out-of-sale inside on Waku Waku Wan Wan are also selling well. Older ladies satisfy the items for being popular, thus Rei comes for a total of 40,000 yen. They can buy the TABs in nearly, Shii begins with a single step. Our secret hideout is not a dream anymore and Rei getting started to discuss concrete details for the layout, and Serufu questioned her about many of the things made have sold. Jobko looks for Serufu's item is made broken. Serufu explains the broken item is not completed properly. Rei proceed to the concrete details of the plan for the secret hideout and just brought the conversation back around from Shii. Takumi calms Serufu about worrying about the item selling. She knows they will reduce the price of it.

They discuss the secret base for wanting to build and draw up a blueprint. For the practice, Rei has something that's created according to decisions, but that's something the professionals do. They don't need it to be accurate down to the millimeter. Jobko understood the size of the materials needed and a blueprint will help us determine all of that. Takumi forgot about the design of a blueprint and wondering Serufu that is good at drawing pictures. Shii got agrees to that and lies down on the bed. Jobko kinds Serufu since she's got zero for Takumi. Serufu will do her best.

Rei will bring the design from Serufu together. Shii wants a swing, Takumi likes to be able to look out at the scenery and drink tea, Jobko can't leave out a hammock, and Rei wants a chimney for decoration. Shii suggests trying swinging from a pulley on the roof, Takumi would be about a skylight, Jobko needs a drone landing pad and talks Shii to need a secret revolving door and a space to hide a sword as a ninja mansion. They all set the ideas in their heads, and Serufu is getting fired up. At her home, Serufu draws a secret hideout with all the ideas.

At Rei's house, Serufu finished her drawing of the tree house for concept art. Rei, Takumi, Shii, and Jobko are satisfied with the concept art, Rei thinks that the tree house is flying through space. Takumi looks left at the tree house is more of a tree town, Jobko looks right at the tree house as a roller coaster, and Ferris wheels throughout the tree, and Shii looks inside the tree trunk is a tree house. Takumi talks to Serufu about her illustration is truly lovely and points to the roof, chimney, and window. It is impossible to make a rocket tree house, Takumi thinks they could make a tire swing, and Shii could connect the tree house and the club room roofs. Jobko is difficult to fit in when it's a drone landing pad and Serufu did a good job for a hammock. Rei will compile the pieces from Serufu's illustration together. Serufu draws another illustration and already finished, Takumi will become a wonderful symbol of the DIY Club. Rei overwhelms by the feeling that they can build that. Takumi is asking them to use illustrations to draft a blueprint.

At Gata Girls', Haruko wonders about Serufu's drawing, and asks Rei will make the blueprint. Rei is already done with the blueprint for things, but never something as big as the secret hideout. Shii thinks that AI for making a blueprint from an illustration would probably be impossible, Serufu knows that will draft the blueprint, but Jobko will do the blueprint too. Because that is so easy than eating breakfast, Rei forgot to say something yesterday.

Jobko uses her glasses to measure the tree that will serve as the base. Takumi wonders Jobko why she is so dependable, Rei can leave it to her as well.

At Serufu's home, her mother tried making our curry tonight with chicken. Serufu tries to eat curry, but it tastes a little spicy. Her mother will turn it into katsu curry. She thinks about Jobko can draft the blueprints, Serufu recognizes Takumi is good at detailed work, Rei can make anything, and Shii is nimble and strong. Serufu's wishes could be more helpful to all of them. She remembered that brooches are not selling, she asks her mother to find the hammer, saw, screwdrivers, and other tools.

At Purin's home, she currently works at a 3D printer and she heard that Serufu uses the hammer and crashes. Purin talks to Jobko when she takes a bath and she has a stomachache. She looks at the blueprint while Jobko is thinking. Jobko ignored her while thinking, Purin takes a bath first.

Purin relax and thought about what Serufu is trying to make, she remembered when picked that sea glass on the beach and will make it into a bracelet. She thinks wrongly about things like that and focuses to make progress on her assignment. Jobko peeks and goes inside a bath, Purin talks to her about the blueprints, but Jobko did not respond to her. Purin guessed would tell her about it, Jobko have no choice. She explains the blueprints are from her mom drafted when she was little and it has been decided that she will draft the blueprints for the DIY Club's secret hideout. She worried about leaving it to any of the others, and she didn't know when they help with any idea. Jobko didn't study the blueprints and didn't know anything about architecture and how to use CAD for things. Purin expected Jobko to learn to do it in no time, Jobko gets angry for Purin to start studying from zero, and it's made fun of.

In the past, Jobko and her mom built a tree house and her papa was happy. Jobko wants to have the secret hideout during summer vacation and says that they wanted to start right after the rainy season by the end of the month. Purin remembers Jobko that she will only have ten days left, so Jobko wanted to be finished within that time, and Purin will help her, but she never drafted the blueprints either. Jobko loves her and hugs Purin's chest.

After school, the members of the DIY Club (except Jobko) buy the sandwich and eat together while working in a secret hideout. At Purin's home, Jobko uses the computer to get the blueprint for Purin. At the DIY Club, Rei reads the instruction before doing it. At Shii's dorms, she watches for tree climbing on her tablet. Jobko presented the blueprint to Purin in her room. At the restaurant, Rei discusses with them. And Jobko and Purin are already sleeping.

In the morning, Jobko wakes up early and opens the curtain. She asks Purin if she managed to finish the blueprints. Purin will keep the secret when she helped her. Because that DIY was moldy and behind the times and it made fun. Jobko hates the summer in Japan because it was muggy.

At the DIY Club, they are wonders Jobko when she drafted the blueprints. Jobko makes something like this if she turns her hand, Rei is almost to gain funds if the materials have it and reacts to the weather when the rainy season is over. When the midterms are done, they will start working on our secret hideout. Serufu knows the thing is like to have the whole club over to her house before building the secret hideout.
