If you were to judge Mima Takayuki by his looks and competence at work, you would not guess that he makes silly mistakes a lot. His colleagues say that he's "unofficially in charge of soothing" everyone because of that.

Shiki Souma is a cheerful student at a vocational school who's not bothered by his own blunders; sometimes they even crack himself up. When a friend talks about her future, he realizes that he has a lot of things he wants to achieve, but not enough strengths yet.

Hayate is badgered into going to a mixer by his friend who was just dumped, and thinking that he needs something to jolt some excitement into his everyday life, he reluctantly agrees. Once there though, he can't quite get into the vibe and is about to leave when one of the girls approaches him.

"Hayate and Takayuki have come to the stadium to cheer Shun on in his handball tournament, but for some reason Shun's friend Souma is missing. It turns out that he went onto the wrong train... Meanwhil Shun is really fired up about winning as much as possible to prolong being together in a team with his teammates who will retire after this event, but the hype backfires and he can't quite perform right..."

Souma goes out with Hayate and Shun to see the movie adapation of Igarashi Motoharu's book, the movie that Takayuki did the promo campaign for. Seeing Hayate being even more excited about the movie after seeing Takayuki's ad makes Souma want to create something that will move people in similar ways. After the movie, the group runs into Motoharu and end up going to the mawarimichi cafe together. On the way there, Souma asks Motoharu a certain question.

Takayuki has to do the PR for a new horror game, so he ends up trying the demo with Souta and other colleagues. However, Takayuki doesn't really like gaming nor horror, so he is not too enthused. Deciding that he has to do this for work, he jumps in anyway, but then the graphics are too high fidelity and real, that he gets scared. Not wanting to be alone at home, he asks Hayate if he can stay the night. For some reason, Shun was already there, and then...

Souma has liked making things since he was little, so a friend asked him to design the cover for her self-produced CD. Despite having sent off images of the design to her, not hearing back from her for quite a long time makes his confidence tank. But then she finally gets back to him...
