In this episode, the story continues to revolve around Sunako's ongoing struggle to pass her final exams. With the end of the school year fast approaching, the pressure is mounting, and Sunako finds herself buried under an avalanche of study materials. Determined to make the grade, she locks herself in her room and begins studying tirelessly. However, her seclusion and intense focus prevent her from noticing the chaos unfolding around her.

Meanwhile, the four attractive boys—Kyohei, Takenaga, Yukinojo, and Ranmaru—are getting desperate. Concerned about Sunako's isolation and her obsession with all things dark and morbid, they conspire to find a way to bring her out of her self-imposed exile. Their efforts lead them to a bold plan: turning the mansion into a makeshift haunted house. They hope that by tapping into Sunako's love for the macabre, they can lure her out of her room and provide her with the study break she desperately needs.

As the boys begin transforming the mansion into a spooky spectacle, they encounter an unexpected obstacle in the form of the landlady, known for her strict and traditional ways. Undeterred, they persist in their mission, convinced that their plan will yield positive results. The boys work tirelessly, setting up traps, installing eerie decorations, and creating an atmosphere suited to Sunako's taste.

Back in her room, Sunako remains ignorant of the preparations taking place just a few steps away. She remains committed to studying, completely oblivious to the unusual activity surrounding her. However, her determination begins to waver when strange occurrences start to interrupt her concentration. Mysterious noises, chilling drafts, and peculiar shadows gradually seep into her room, unsettling her.

As the haunting becomes more pronounced, Sunako's curiosity gets the better of her, and she ventures out of her fortress-like room to investigate. She soon discovers the transformed mansion, filled with terrifying sights and unexpected surprises. Initially frightened, Sunako can't help but be intrigued by the efforts taken and begins to appreciate the boys' gesture.

However, when the initial shock wears off, Sunako's competitive nature reignites, and she decides to take things up a notch. Instead of caving into the haunting, she challenges the boys by joining in and adding her own spin to the spooky experience. Together, they create an unforgettable and thrilling atmosphere, filled with laughter and camaraderie.

In the midst of this chaotic yet heartwarming spectacle, the true spirit of friendship and a deepening bond between Sunako and the boys emerges.
