## Synopsis

The study group discusses their Parent-Teacher conferences with each other and while the girls have their subjects down, Nariyuki doesn't have one.

The school prepares for its student festival and Nariyuki's class has a haunted house theme to it. While walking down the hallway, Nariyuki runs into the girls who enjoy, Rizu's udon. As it's known that Nariyuki's class is doing a haunted house and Rizu's an Udon shop. Uruka is too embarrassed to talk about hers and Fumino's is kept a secret as per request from her fan club. They also mention the credible school jinx that when two people make psychical contact with each other during the fireworks they're bound together. Unbeknownst to the group, Sawako eavesdrops on the entire conversation and contrives to set Rizu up with Nariyuki.

Meanwhile, in the school faculty room, Kirisu is approached by two teachers the teacher presentation. It's revealed that she's the head of it and she plans on doing the fall of the Roman Empire. Little did Kirisu know, by her co-workers planned on getting her dressed in a costume for it. Elsewhere, Fumino is elected by a unanimous vote to play the lead role in a play of "Sleeping Beauty". Once this was decided, Fumino is dragged out of the room to her dismay. The rest of her classmates now revealed to be called "Members of the Thorn Society" hold a colloquy about Nariyuki being the prince.

That afternoon, Nariyuki is told by Kirisu to go home for school that day, but Nariyuki asks to do another mock interview with her. She agrees to do it, but asks why. Nariyuki explains that it's to help decide what subject he'll pursue when he goes to university.

The following day, the festival begins and Nariyuki meets with Rizu. They talk about how her father made 100 udon noodles for her class, but it turns out that he instead made 1,000 udon. Due to the enormous superfluity of udon, Nariyuki helps sell the udon with Rizu's class. While passing out flyers to for Rizu's Udon, Nariyuki runs into Uruka, and two of her friends dressed in fancy costumes. The theme to their costumes was to match that of the popular television show "Magical Girls, Full Pure!" From what Uruka's friends tell Nariyuki, one of the costumes was mixed in with another class' therefore they'll have to improvise their performance. Nariyuki is then roped into promoting the Full Pure event along with the Udon. Hearing that there's a magical girl on the roof, Nariyuki goes to investigate and finds Kirisu dressed in the missing costume.

A flashback to an hour earlier shows, Kirisu getting ready for the Roman Empire lecture by getting dressed in a costume. She, however, is given the wrong costume and absconds after getting dressed in it. Therefore, Nariyuki helps Kirisu take off the costume in exchange for helping her find her real costume. As this goes on, Fumino is furious that she doesn't know who the Prince will be for the play. And ultimately, instead of Uruka, Kirisu plays the magical girl for the Full Pure stage play.
