Okada, Sakurada and Shimada invite Asahi and Youko to join them at a buffet restaurant, but Youko is reluctant to come for the fear of revealing her secret. However, Asahi convinces her, and although there is constant danger of Youko's being exposed (such as the bats hovering outside or her wings appearing), things seem to been going well until Mikan (who is working at the restaurant as a waitress) appears with her latest batch of Russian Cream Puffs for Youko to try. To protect Youko, Asahi (joined by Shimada, who doesn't know the lethal effects of Mikan's pastry) eat them all, with the expected result. The next day at school, Mikan is distraught, having lost her "Heathen Queen" glasses; Asahi, Youko and Nagisa join her in searching for them. It turns out that Akane stole them, and a major chase through the school begins with Akani using her magic tricks, culminating in her creating clones wearing identical glasses, but Akari breaks up the chase, returns the glasses and drags Akane off for punishment. Later, by the riverside, Nagisa learns the truth about the glasses: that they are inhabited by a fukunokami, a god of good fortune (in this case, a god-in-training) and that this fukunokami inhabited the glasses because they were filled with the good memories about Mikan's childhood and her true feelings for Asahi. Rather than admit to her true feelings, Mikan repeatedly tries to throw the glasses away, but is stopped by Nagisa, who challenges her to face Asahi without them. The glasses tell Mikan that if she won't admit her feelings to Asahi it will just confess to Asahi right when he and Youko reach them. In a panic, Mikan tries to put the glasses on again, and in the ensuing confusion Nagisa winds up wearing the glasses just as the fukunokami blurts out, "Asahi-kun, the truth is I am in love with you!", making it sound (to everybody's shock) that Nagisa had spoken.

After taking shelter in a gym storage shed, Nagisa mysteriously grows to human size and gets embarrassed about revealing her antenna to Asahi while Mikan, Shimada and Youko all hunt them down.

On the way, they walk through a shopping arcade, where Asahi tries to protect Youko from salesmen offering garlic and crosses. However, like sunlight, their effects on Youko are much less harmful than their depictions in popular fiction: crosses simply make her annoyed and garlic makes her eyes water. After coming across an uncovered bridge, Youko is about to give up her new daytime route when Asahi asks if she's tried using sunscreen. Youko ends up using it for the first time the next day at school. The following weekend, Asahi and Youko go to an amusement park together. Youko saw it as a chance to get him closer to Nagisa, but Nagisa declined, seeing it as an opportunity to have Youko go on a date with Asahi.

Later that evening, Youko notes that their outing was similar to the relationship that her own parents had with each other, to the point where they even attended her current school together. Meanwhile, Youko's father is suspicious of Youko's new boyfriend, and tasks the werewolf Shirou Shishido with bringing her back home if her secret has been revealed.
