## Plot

Rei gives the final screw to Serufu and will entrust it to her. When in the past, she gets a chance for Serufu when she asks her to put in that screw. Then, Serufu gives that final screw and tries to screw it, and is completely done. She hugs Purin for helping her. The tree house is completely done by the members of the DIY Club. Their classmates look at the tree house.

Serufu and others try to go inside the tree house and smell it. Purin noticed that Serufu made that part, so the screws are all lopsided and there is a big gap between the boards. Purin expresses Takumi did the stained glass and Purin made the lampshade. She asks Takumi to call "Purin" by herself, Takumi also asks her to call "Takumin" by herself, but she is embarrassed by Purin calling her. Rei talks to Jobko that the shelves made it and Jobko compliments the wall slats and roof shingles. The last one, Shii ceils the frame that she built it. Serufu will have a sleepover party together in the secret hideout.

The principal announces the students have a vacation tomorrow, but Sefufu is yawning. Haruko discusses Serufu when YuVoc's end-of-term assembly should finish around noon. Jobko minds what Shii is doing as a kunoichi from YuVoc to Gata Girls' DIY Club. Shii thanks Serufu for inviting her since then. She is not too worried about Purin when she ditched the security. Rei is ready for all members.

They are ready for a toast since they completed the secret hideout. Haruko celebrates them for the completion of the secret hideout, plus a farewell party for Jobko. Haruko surprised Jobko by preparing senbetsu. Jobko didn't mean "senbetsu", but Purin guessed that it was called a "farewell gift". Haruko gives a lot of sukonbu for Jobko. Serufu drew it and gives it to Jobko as well and Purin made it the frame. Rei gives the complete set of the *Sunflower Girls* manga, and Takumi also gives the novels of *SunGirls*. Jobko says them to call "proselytizing". Shii gives a tiger to her from her home country. Serufu wants Jobko not to forget them. Takumi gives the handkerchief to her when Jobko is crying. Jobko won't mind coming back to them.

Jobko's plans to increase membership would turn into a tree house, but in the end, they didn't get any new members. That means they won't be able to receive club funds anymore. Rei just keeps making small things and selling them by guessing herself. In the same way, Purin mentioned that they built the secret hideout Serufu is glad that joined the DIY Club, and Rei made happy herself too. Two students were wondering what the DIY Club looks like and can go to the tree house.

Purin closes Jobko's bag and Jellyfish asks her to close the bag if it is the last suitcase. Purin's mother calls Jobko for giving her favorite food. She will be headed off on a business trip to Norway and will not be here for a week. Purin promises her mother to give her souvenirs from Norway. Her mother guesses that Jobko's hammock is "a bird, departing, leaves its nest unsullied" and will arrange for some contractors to come later. And Purin's mother says goodbye to Jobko.

Purin asks Jobko when she should not come to the airport and Jobko will make it harder to leave. Purin is going to be lonely, the completed secret hideout doesn't look anything like her mother. Jobko makes fun of when she had while making it the same. The reason, she came to Japan was to study and she could get away from her father. Her mother revealed that she passed away and her father is depressed more often and he's not talking to his daughter. Jobko thinks to tell her father how she built a tree house. That means would make things easier for both. Purin explains to Serufu that she has always been clumsy and gets hurt a lot, and she guesses she calls it looking after her. Because Serufu can be so inconsiderate. Jellyfish asks her would like to install the new OS.

Jobko gets inside the airplane and trips off to America. The DIY Club members look when she goes off, Serufu's mother taking care of her. Purin asks Serufu if would want to go to school. She picks the materials of sea glass, Jellyfish asks her to stay hydrated. Purin notices that he changed his voice after updating his OS.

Purin is missing something for a swing and they make it together. Serufu feels bad for the first generation of the club room, Purin can use her old planks. She asks her to pull up some boards and Serufu has been injured. Purin puts a bandage on Serufu's knee, but she is thinking that it's been a while since she puts the last bandage on her. Purin and Serufu are doing things. Purin finished the part, while Serufu is using an electric screwdriver, and they are painting the planks. They are sleeping after that and almost finish.

Serufu and Purin try to sit together. Purin thinks of her childhood memories with Serufu. But she is something to tell her that DIY was all moldy and useless stuff and she had so much fun. She didn't say to her and being called "stupid", Serufu points Purin's cheek. In middle school, Purin tries to fix everything and she is not hating her since then. Purin tells her when she doesn't remember that either. As a result, Serufu lost the wind chime and Purin gives it to her too. Serufu treasured the wind chime that Purin gave her. Purin picks it up from her bag and Serufu will make a new wind chime. And they will almost jump together and finally say "Do it yourself".

After the opening credits, a scene shows the newly completed wind chime and the final shot, a picture of the DIY Club members with an advisor.
