## Plot

### Cold Open

Tanukichi wakes up when, to his surprise, he finds Kosuri sleeping in his bed. When he looked behind, he is horrified to see Anna standing outside his room holding a knife. He tries explaning to Anna that Kosuri is his half-sister who is visiting him and wakes Kosuri up so she can back him up. She goes along with the act, saying that Tanukichi has had a major crush on Anna. However, Kosuri pushes the act too far, causing Anna to throw a knife near Kosuri's head and stab the floor around her. Anna then apologizes to Kosuri and introduces herself to her. As Anna leaves the apartment, Kosuri falls through the floor and lands in someone else's room.

### After the Intro

Gouriki visits Tanukichi's room and tells him that the Student Council will be having a meeting before school to discuss something important. As he talks with Tanukichi, he notices someone in his room, but Tanukichi tries blocking his view and tells him that he will be there soon. Meanwhile, Otome draws porn in the closet when Tanukichi takes her sketch book away. She then introduces herself to Kosuri, who is amazed by Otome's drawing ability and grows even more excited about SOX.

Later on, Ayame teases Tanukichi about him and Gouriki yet again and theorizes why the Student Council would be having a meeting before school. Ayame had heard rumors that a new prefect trained by Matsukage Nishikinomiya will be policing the school for any lewd things. At Tokioka Academy, the new prefect, named Oboro Tsukimigusa, introduced himself to the Council and began removing things that appeared lewd to him, such as a basketball hoop, a rope, a ping-pong ball, and a volleyball net. To Ayame and Tanukichi, he seemed much more harmless than they thought. Oboro later goes to his classroom when Hyouka Fuwa appears from underneath his desk. She shows him the cover of *Please Don't Hate My Banana* and asks why women like erotic yaoi novels. Oboro dismisses the question and takes away her copy of the comic. Hyouka pleads him not to take away her comic and asks Tanukichi for help, but he ignores her. Finally, Oboro lets go of the comic after Hyouka tells him that she uses it to study science. Tanukichi tries convincing Oboro that the magazine is dirty, but Hyouka continues to affirm that it is healthy.

When Tanukichi arrives back home, he is caught off-guard by Kosuri, who wears nothing but a gray coat. She asks Tanukichi whether he wants to eat or take a bath when Otome appears from above and says that he wants to eat. Tanukichi states that he and Kosuri are not brothers and won't be "docking". He then tells Otome and Kosuri the story of how he and Ayame met and says that he aspires to be like her.

At the Felersio Café, Ayame gives Kosuri a disguise for SOX's newest plan. She tells Ayame how Tanukichi told stories of her before he stopped her by covering her mouth. Ayame lays out her new plan, which involved spreading dirty images around Zoshigaoka Academy, another school with high morale rates. Kosuri and Tanukichi go to Zoshigaoka Academy, where Kosuri decides to take matters into her own hands and sneak onto the campus so that SOX could plant as much porn as they pleased. Ayame was worried that Kosuri may be caught and rat out SOX, but decides to let her plan go off-course because Kosuri might be able to help them. As she and Tanukichi talk, Anna and Oboro walk up to them to discuss the lewd material that Oboro had collected, which are rolls of toilet paper and porn magazines. Tanukichi states that the toilet paper isn't lewd, but the porn magazines are. As Anna reveals that there are more Decency Squad-trained prefects, a Gathered Fabric member tries escaping the other prefects. A squeamish Anna kicks the Gathered Fabric member in the face. She then asks Tanukichi for more validation before running off with a roll of toilet paper.

Later, Kosuri reports that the mission was successful and showed a map of Zoshigaoka Academy to SOX, stating that she got it directly from the school's student council. She also revealed that she hacked the school's TV systems so it now can only play a video of flies mating. Ayame complimented Kosuri for her hard work and the three girls began talking dirty. At Tanukichi's room, Kosuri orders him to buy her ice cream and states that she is more useful to SOX than he is. Kosuri goes on to explain how she got all of the information, revealing that she made the president and vice president of Zoshigaoka's student council fall in love with her at the same time. On the second day, she manipulated the president and vice president even further by making them fall in love with the treasurer and secretary since they were both so infatuated with Kosuri. She then confessed her love to the third boy in the council, who she ignored up until then. The boy loved Kosuri so much that he was willing to do whatever she wanted. Meanwhile, the treasurer and secretary rejected the president and vice president's love, causing them all to fall into deep depression. Kosuri then turns her manipulation to Tanukichi, whose feelings for Ayame are used by Kosuri so that he wouldn't rat her out. Finally, Kosuri pushes Tanukichi to the floor and forces him to lick her foot.

At Tokioka Academy, Ayame tells Tanukichi that the Decency Squad prefects may hurt all ero-terrorists because other schools may want to follow Anna's decision. On top of that, SOX spreading dirty images may also cause Tokioka students to become enforcers of morality. Furthermore, SOX still needs to end Gathered Fabric since they are much more perverted than SOX. Ayame is not deterred by SOX's setbacks and has a massive plan.
