Nene and Hanako-kun are out on a mission to deliver donuts to a young girl named Sakura. Sakura is under the care of her father, who is a baker, and is currently hospitalized. While en route, they bump into a girl named Tsukasa who seems suspicious, but Nene and Hanako-kun don't think much of it.
They eventually reach Sakura's hospital room and are greeted by her and her father. However, Sakura seems to be in a trance, completely unresponsive to their presence. Her father reveals that she has been like that for a while, and the doctors are unsure why.
Nene and Hanako-kun investigate further and learn that Sakura's situation is connected to a supernatural being known as 'the Minamoto no Yorimitsu of the Heian Period'. They discover that the being has taken over Sakura's body and is feasting on sweet smells, which explains why Sakura's father's donuts were always perfectly crafted.
Nene and Hanako-kun devise a plan to lure out the Minamoto no Yorimitsu of the Heian Period and defeat it. However, their plan goes awry when Tsukasa shows up and ruins everything. Nene and Hanako-kun must quickly come up with a new plan to save Sakura before it's too late.
The episode has a strong focus on the bond between Nene and Hanako-kun, as well as the consequences of making assumptions without investigating the full story. There is also a thematic element of the power of smells and how they can be used for both good and evil. Overall, the episode is a mix of comedy and heart, with some darker elements sprinkled in.
