## Summary

### Part 1

Yurine and Jashin-chan both go on a small shopping trip to a bookstore. Unhappy that the store didn't have the 2nd volume to the grimoire that Jashin wanted, Yurine was still overall satisfied with what they got. It's outside of the bookstore that, Jashin notices a poster with Yurine on it. When Jashin tries to direct Yurine's attention to the poster, she misunderstands it as a response to her question of where she wants to eat. It's then that Jashin realizes that they're both in an anime. Later the two eat at the Jiro Restaurant and both enjoy their respective favorite meals. When they're finished with their meals, Yurine orders her favorite meal to go. Jashin inquires what the meal is for and Yurine responds that it's for someone. Eventually, the two visits Pekora at her home and Yurine offers her the take out she ordered. Like always, Pekora denies accepting any food from Yurine, so the witch leaves the food by her house in case she changes her mind. Inside her house, Pekora is tormented by whether to eat the food or not, but ultimately decides to eat it. However, once she does she finds that Jashin has already started to eat the meal herself. When Jashin asks if she wanted to eat it, Pekora denies the fact and so the lamia finishes the meal and heads on her way. Although still hungry, Pekora consoles herself that she managed to preserve her dignity as an angel. Pekora then retracts back into her makeshift home and falls asleep. Afterward, Jashin is reprimanded by Yurine for her actions towards Pekora. Yurine later leaves Jashin in charge of cleaning up the mess in the apartment as she goes back to Jiro and purchases another meal for Pekora. That night, Pekora enjoys the meal and thanks Yurine for the food.

### Part 2

Minos brings Yurine a Mandragoro doll from Hell and showcases the sound it makes when you squeeze it. Yurine thanks Minos for the gift and compliments Minos and Medusa for their kindness in comparison to Jashin's selfishness. Annoyed by the compliment, Jashin mentions how Minos isn't really her friend due to the series of painful incidents because of Minos. A flashback shows how Minos' strength once broke Jashin's back. Back in the present, Minos says that she apologized for the incident and then claims that Jashin is just really weak. To disprove Minos' statement, Jashin tries to dropkick her, but the move is deflected by Minos' chest. This causes Jashin to land on the Mandragoro doll killing it. Livid, Yurine exacts her wraith on Jashin while Minos escapes.

### Part 3

Mei awakens in her room and greets the various items in her room and after that readies herself for the day ahead. While on patrol, Mei runs into Persephone II who excessively coughs. An otaku who passes by asks if she's alright and Persephone claims that she is and that she just has a weak constitution. Sequentially a woman approaches the otaku and offers him a deal on woodblocks. The otaku agrees and the woman takes him into a building. Seeing no harm with the interaction between the two, Mei then notices a statue fried chicken mascot in a Halloween costume. Infatuated with the statue, Mei decides to take it home, but is then confronted by a part-time worker because of it. The two then cause a scene because of the statue, to which, Jashin just so happens to be nearby and witness. Jashin is then spotted by Mei and is joined by Medusa who brought her some fried chicken. They're both then chased by Mei who immobilizes Jashin by throwing a young girl mascot statue at her. After embracing Jashin lovingly, Mei takes selfies with her as the surrounding people take pictures of the scene.
