With the reparations to the village and his army finally reaching completion, Hideyoshi sets off on his own to Nobunaga's castle to get Yuzuki back. Hideyoshi was once a vassal for Nobunaga in his question for unification, but somewhere along the way an event occured that changed everything. Will these two former allies be able to reach an agreement over Yuzuki's fate?

One day, Yuzuki is enveloped by a mysterious light and taken to an unfamiliar world. It is a world like that of the Sengoku Period, where warlords are fighting for domination. In the midst of the chaos, Yuzuki encounters a warlord named Hideyoshi Toyotomi. Hideyoshi commands the Toyotomi Army, and, along with his retainers, Hanbee Takenaka, Kanbee Kuroda, Toshiie Maeda, and Mitsunari Ishida, fights for the unification of this world at war. This world is known as Shinga, where non-human Gegga Tribes fight against one another.

While Moriko is surprised to hear the shocking truth from Sakurai, she's still looking forward to playing MMOs together with Lily. But ever since the day in which Moriko learned the truth, Lily hasn't logged in...

To play online with Koiwai, Moriko makes a temporary alt character named Molly. After seeing Molly, Sakurai remembers a player he met in another game named Yuki. He met Yuki when he was still a student, and she was a working adult.

Sakurai, now sure that Moriko is indeed Hayashi, finds himself hesitating over playing online with Hayashi. Sakurai decides to continuing playing as if not knowing who Hayashi is, but finds himself wavering when Hayashi talks so happily about Sakurai. At the same time, Koiwai decides to give the game a spin himself.

Moriko goes out to meet Koiwai, but he never shows up. Just as Moriko decides to give up and go home, she runs into Sakurai! Moriko finds out that she got the day of her day out with Koiwai wrong, and that Sakurai had been bothered by her turning down his previous invitation. What will she do now?

Hayashi asks for some advice from Lily, and from what Hayashi says, Sakurai starts to wonder if Hayashi and Moriko are the same person. Meanwhile, Moriko undergoes a makeover to prepare herself for her night out with Koiwai. But when the day finally comes, Koiwai doesn't show up, even after Moriko spends so much time waiting. Just as she's about to give up and go home, who does she run into?

Morioka is so taken by the new loot boxes in Fruit de Mer that she decides to spend money and aim for the top prize with her guild, but the so-called greed sensor keeps getting in her way. On the other hand, in real life, a man suddenly starts talking to her at the convenience store.

Thanks to her guild members, Moriko is now free of her worries, and she's committed to enjoying her time online. But just as she logs in, she suddenly gets an expensive present from Lily. Fearing some sort of ulterior motive, Momoko begins to panic.

Moriko is enjoying her online life to the fullest with Lily and all her friends. But Moriko ends up telling a lie about her personal situation outside of game to them, and now she feels guilty. Meanwhile, in the real world, Moriko ends up bumping into a hot, blond-haired, green-eyed man.

A single comment from Yashiro cuts far too deep for Moriko, and so Moriko flies out of the convenience store to get away. To get out from the rain, Sakurai invites her into his home. The pair of them try to convey how they feel about one another, while still assessing just how close they may already be. The two of them have made their relationship strong through the time they spent together online. But what kind of relationship does that really make?

Morioka Moriko is a 30 year old who chose the NEET path for herself after quitting her job. She decides she'll find more happiness online than in the real world and so makes a hot male character in an MMO named Hayashi. In game, she meets an adorable and kindhearted experienced player named Lily, as well as other friends. Now begins Moriko's fulfilling online life as a self-styled "elite NEET"!

Round 2 of the regular meet at Asagaoka reaches its climax! This time it's Shiki's turn at the buzzer, and he's determined to keep winning until he gets his revenge match against Mikuriya. He's been paired with Sonohara Akira, a Sekigawata Middle School third-year. But in contrast to his cute appearance, Akira is quite a tricky player, throwing Shiki off his stride and bringing an atmosphere of unrest to the meet...

The regular meet at Asagaoka begins at last! In addition to Buzou, Miyaura, and Sekigawata, other participating teams include Yokohama's Kannami University High School, whose quiz club's president is Hanabusa Minoru, and Chiba's Leoneil High School, whose club's president is Tozuka Koutarou. Then the veteran team led by Ohkura Kunimitsu, the powerful Kaijou Academy, also arrives. Shiki and his teammates take on the first round, a paper quiz, and the second round, a fastest finger contest that divides the participants up into pairs!

Mikuriya's declaration of war to Shiki rings in his ears: "Don't forget about the regular meet!" The regular meet is a regularly held quiz bowl tournament hosted alternately by several area schools. This year's host is Asagaoka Girls' High School. It's been decided that all the members of Buzou High's quiz team, so they're beginning a rigorous practice schedule. Meanwhile, Mari is asked why she got into quiz bowl, and tells the story of how her brother, Fukami Shinji, influenced her love of the activity.

As Mari and Kouzuki Yuki are working at their part-time job in Akihabara to earn money for a buzzer set, Shiki and Inoue arrive in the area to train themselves with a quiz bowl game in the arcade. They're battling against a player called "Second Lieutenant Chisato" when Ashiya shows up, and the pair finds out that their opponent is someone they know quite well. Then a strange, somewhat suspicious character approaches the group...

The girl Shiki met in the library was the same girl that he had seen riding on the back of Sasajima's bike. The book she left behind has a marker stuck to the page on building quiz bowl buzzer systems. Is she involved with quiz bowl? As Shiki is thinking about all his, Mari tells him they're having a joint quiz bowl practice with another school today. That school turns out to be Miyaura High, the team that claims Mikuriya as a member!

Shiki has experienced the fun and profound depths of quiz bowl. As he's on his way to school with passion for quiz bowl on his mind, he catches sight of Sasajima with a girl on the back of his bicycle. Still wondering what his relationship with the girl is, Shiki and Inoue decide to join the quiz bowl circle. When Sasajima asks them if they have any questions after experiencing their first quiz meet, Mari raises her hand and asks, "How can we win in quiz bowl?!"

The quiz meet between Sekigawata, Miyaura, Asagaoka, and Buzou High Schools has begun. Shiki and Mari have won their way through the first round, but Shiki struggles with some of the most commonly asked questions in quiz bowl, known as "classics." As Mikuriya Chisato of Miyaura High School keeps getting one right answer after another, Shiki is beginning to feel frustrated by his inability to predict the latter half of the questions given. Will he be able to buzz in when it comes down to it?!
