Puniru follows Kotaro to school to take him something he forgot, but they end up getting into a fight. Puniru turns into an idol to get Kotaro to admit she’s cute. Kotaro tries to enlist Puniru’s help in winning the affections of his crush, Kirara-senpai.

Kotaro asks Puniru to turn into a first grader and act lost so he can look good in front of Kirara-senpai, but little does he know Kirara’s maternal instincts go into overdrive around children. Puniru later plays a trick using this knowledge.

Kotaro’s favorite plushie as a child was the adorable Kyuthi-chan, which had a profound (jealous) effect on Puniru. Now he wants to go to the Kyuthi Café, where he gets Puniru to pretend to be his girlfriend so he can order a dish meant for couples.

Alice, granddaughter to the president of the toy company that made Kyuthi-chan, challenges Puniru to see whether she or a character Alice created is more adorable—and you could say the competition gets blown into gigantic proportions!

In an attempt to please Alice, Hodai dons a Runrune costume. Meanwhile, Nanpa, Puniru, and Hone-chan fight over Robo Runrune. Then, to put some pep back in the exhausted Kirara-senpai’s step, Puniru and Runrune become cheerleaders.

Puniru gets moldy and down in the dumps when Runrune starts ignoring her. Later, she’s determined to get Runrune and Alice to be friends again. Next, AI Runrune hits the scene, and Alice and Puniru face off to see which Runrune is better.

Kotaro and the boys go to the beach for a day of fun while Puniru and Kirara-senpai are at the school pool. Later, Kotaro asks Puniru to help him cool off with a special transformation, the gang hits a café, and then it’s time to tackle summer homework.
