## Plot

Tanukichi Okuma is nervous and excited as he is on way to his first day at Tokioka Academy. However, he felt that someone was looking at him and when he turned around, he saw a large man (who was also a Tokioka student) glaring at him. Just as the monorail train had arrived at Shimada Station, a woman suddenly accused the large man of touching her butt and threatened to report him. Tanukichi knew that throughout the entire ride, the man was too busy staring at him. He knew that his crush, Anna, would help someone in need so he decided to try to defuse the situation by claiming that he touched her butt. At the station, the woman was furious because she knew that if she reported a Tokioka student, she would have been rewarded greatly. Out of desperation, she calls out officers of the Guidance Department to arrest Tanukichi for "molesting" her. He tried to escape from the officers, but they had practically cornered him. Just as it seemed as if Tanukichi's reputation was ruined, a random girl wearing nothing but a towel and panties on her face grabbed him and gave him an escape route with a rope. The girl (who was revealed to be infamous terrorist Blue Snow) then immediately began screaming obscene words, which shocked Tanukichi. Guidance Officers ordered everyone in the station to leave the station as Blue Snow continued her terrorist attack. She proclaimed that if anyone were to try to restrain her, they would expose her body. The threat worked and Guidance Officers began to back off. Blue Snow ran to Tanukichi, who was still completely dumbfounded by the situation. He found a slip of paper and picked it up, only for him to find out that it was a pornographic picture. Blue Snow offered to give him her porn collection before quickly running off and disappearing. The Guidance Officers shifted their focus back onto Tanukichi, who used the rope to escape from the officers.

Tanukichi had barely made it to the Tokioka entrance ceremony in time and got some glares from other fellow students before Student Council president Anna Nishikinomiya gave her opening speech, welcoming the students to the school. When he got to his designed classroom, Tanukichi debated whether he should throw out his pornographic image, but he knew that he would be accused of terrorism so he waited. He noticed other classmates talking about him behind his back, calling him a "spy". One girl, though, decided to take matters into her own hands and talk to Tanukichi. The girl, who was named Hyouka Fuwa, looked very emotionless and made him slightly uncomfortable. Without warning, Hyouka surprised Tanukichi and asked him how babies were made. He tried giving Hyouka the answer from the textbooks, but Hyouka knew that their entire society was filled with lies. She told Tanukichi that she has tried to study how babies are made due to Blue Snow's attacks, but since she has appeared less frequently, she is having trouble with her study. Suddenly, another girl entered the classroom and moved Hyouka out of the way to introduce herself to Tanukichi. She was Ayame Kajou, the vice-president of the Student Council, and she invited Tanukichi to join the Student Council as the director of general affairs. As Ayame leaves the room, Hyouka continues her conversation with Tanukichi from underneath his desk. She warned him about how easily he could lose his position if he messes up. Tanukichi quickly left the room with Ayame to visit the Student Council meeting room.

In the meeting room, an excited Tanukichi finally meets her childhood crush, Anna Nishikinomiya, for the first time in years. However, as he is falling in love with Anna's voice, he is caught off guard by a deep familiar voice, one that belonged to the gorilla-looking man (named Raiki Gouriki) from earlier. Tanukichi asks why he, of all people, would be chosen as the new member of the Student Council. Anna explains that for the past few months, a dirty-joke terrorist named Blue Snow had been committing several acts of terrorism throughout Tokioka Academy, and she fears that it has been affecting the students. She also notes that Blue Snow's PM has strangely never detected anything that she has said, and suspects that Blue Snow is even a student that attends Tokioka. She then admits that the Student Council is so pure that sometimes, they don't understand what is and isn't lewd. At one point, Blue Snow even ran past Anna, but she didn't even realize that it was a terrorist attack. She and Gouriki reveal that the reason why they invited Tanukichi was because he had previously attended the lowest-ranking morale school in Japan. However, Gouriki still didn't trust Tanukichi as he knew that his father was Zenjuro Okuma, another infamous dirty-joke terrorist. Tanukichi eventually confesses that he had known a lot of dirty knowledge because of his father, but insisted that he was a changed person after his father was arrested. He went on to explain that meeting Anna early in his childhood changed his life forever, and it is why Tanukichi vowed to become such a morally pure person. With reluctant approval from Gouriki, Tanukichi was officially accepted into the group. Afterward, Anna instructed Ayame to talk to Tanukichi about the Student Council to deepen their friendship.

Ayame, who is noticeably very silent, decides to take Tanukichi to a café where she compliments Tanukichi for his "acting" and barrages him with dirty phrases. It doesn't take long for Tanukichi to realize that Ayame is infamous terrorist Blue Snow. He tried to call the police, but Ayame immediately held his hands back before he could do so. As Master came by their table to take their order, Tanukichi told him that Ayame is a terrorist, but Master already knows. After Master left, Ayame realized that Tanukichi had truly come to Tokioka just to help Anna with her mission and previously assumed that since he was the son of another terrorist, he would want to join her instead. As Ayame began mumbling to herself, Tanukichi tried to run away and tell Anna but Ayame immediately stopped him and refused to let him escape since he knew her true identity. Tanukichi's collar was squeezed tight and he passed out.
