## **Synopsis**

After seeing a really pretty girl with a really handsome guy, Mikan Tachibana wonders if rich underclothes can change a persons aura completely or not.

## **Plot**

On her way to home, Mikan spots a good-looking woman being picked up by her good-looking boyfriend in an expensive car. Noticing this, Mikan becomes envious of her life and decides to get to the bottom of what makes a woman be this beautiful.

Mikan tries to remember anything she knows makes a woman beautiful. She remembers reading a magazine page where it says that a good-looking woman always wears expensive underwear. She also remembers a few middle schoolers talking about how some famous girls named "Kujaku Sisters" never wear expensive underwear despite owning it.
Combining all these things, Mikan comes to the conclusion that the secret to being a good-looking woman is wearing expensive underwear.

Mikan decides to test her theory by wearing cheap panties the next day at school. During lunchtime, Mikan and Shimi-chan talk about this theory. Shimi-chan helps Mikan realise that paying for something people aren't going to see makes a woman truly beautiful and gives her a special aura. Mikan then asks Shimi-chan what kind of aura she has now because of her panties, to which Shimi-chan replies that she has her regular aura.

When Mikan gets home, she asks Okaa-san about her opinion on the theory. Okaa-san states that all beautiful women in that case have a lot of money to spend on underwear, and that money is the only way to becoming a beautiful woman.

The episode ends with Mikan saying out loud how much she wants to be a beautiful woman.
