| As Saruyama tries to explain about boobs to Rito, the girls including Lala overhear the conversation. Lala asks for more facts about boobs and gets the idea that all men are interested in breasts. She makes an invention that will make her boobs the perfect size, but Rito flies out from a school window and crashes into the invention, turning him into a girl. After Lala and Mikan tease him with girl clothing, Rito runs out of the house. He gets bombarded by many men including Saruyama and the principal. Saki finds Rito (still as a girl) unconscious and brings him/her into Saki's mansion. Riko (Rito as a girl) begins to feel that being a girl may be better than being a boy. While being forced to take a shower with Saki and her friends, Riko’s boob sizes dramatically change as a result of Lala’s invention. He/she gets turned back into a boy by one of Lala's newer inventions when she appears out of nowhere, and the episode ends when Saki and the others deliver a painful beating upon Rito by hitting him in the face with a baseball bat. | |||

While Rito and Lala go looking for Mikan, there are few flashbacks of Rito and Mikan in the past including building a snowman. As Rito and Lala look for Mikan, they are intercepted by Saki as she challenges Lala to a barbecue match. Yami comforts Mikan before Rito finds her thanks to Haruna, who explains why Mikan may be feeling upset. Mikan feels okay about the situation, so the two decide to go for a walk. She teases Rito about Lala and Haruna. They go to the same park where Rito and Mikan built a snowman in the past. Lala summons a snow machine to recreate the past event and wishes to see her siblings as well. | |||

Rito, thanks to the mess that Lala left behind, activates one of Lala's inventions and gets stuck inside Maron's (Haruna's dog) body.

Rito, thinking Lala is behind the entire game, makes progress through the game. He does not realize that the real intent of the game is for Nana and Momo to analyze Rito and find out his true feelings. At the climax of the game, the demon lord teleports Rito to her castle and forces him to admit his feelings to Lala. As Rito cannot bring out a definite answer and Lala covered him up, the angry demon lord tries to defeat all of the characters by modifying the game to give her all the powerups and erase their data.

After observing one whole day with Rito, Nana concludes that everyone is mistaken about Rito. Lala, Mikan, and Rito invite Nana and Momo to Hanami, but Momo turns them down, hoping to use this event to prove her statement about Rito. During the event, Momo summons an alien plant that releases pollen which will bring out everyone's true feelings. The pollen affects everyone except Lala and Rito. Nana does not feel convinced and forces the alien plant to release more pollen. The plant becomes possessed by its own pollen and captures Nana and Momo and later Lala. The plant drops Nana and Rito comes to the rescue, changing Nana's impression of Rito. | |||

Mikan finds Peke taking snapshots of new clothing while shopping. Suddenly, a stranger steals her bag and runs. Mikan uses Peke's transformation to pursue the thief, who is actually an alien.

Momo tries to get Rito’s attention by changing her hairstyle but has little success. Momo then learns from Lala that Rito loves both Lala and Haruna, and since he will become king of Deviluke he can marry both girls, and return both of their love. Inspired, Momo begins a plan to eliminate Rito’s indecisive nature and create a harem for him, so that Momo and the other girls who love Rito can have their love for him be fulfilled. A drunken Celine sprays Mikan with pollen, causing Mikan to develop romantic feelings towards Rito. As she waits for the effects to wear off, Momo learns of her plight and “helps” by leaving her alone with Rito. Mikan succumbs to the effect of the pollen and nearly kisses him, but manages to regain her senses at the last minute. Momo decides Mikan is not yet ready to accept her own feelings but promises she will include Mikan in the harem. Thanks to one of Lala’s inventions, Haruna is turned into a cat and wanders the streets contemplating what to do. Remembering that Nana can speak to animals, she goes to find her but runs into Rito. Circumstances then force Rito to give Haruna a bath, which becomes too much stimulation for her, causing Haruna to revert to normal, albeit naked and on top of an also naked and unconscious Rito. An embarrassed Haruna is then left to explain the situation to a confused Mikan. | |||||||

| The episode opens with Mikan and Rito peacefully shopping for groceries, accompanied by Celine. As they leave the store and begin walking home, they notice a dispute between two delinquents, which is stopped by a mysterious woman with pink hair, a veil, and a beautiful voice, who then speaks to Mikan and Rito, before being interrupted by the principal, who she then convinces to work for the good of the world. Then Lala, Momo, and Nana come up and introduce her as their mother. They go back to the apartment and find it covered in security men. Momo worries that her mother will find out about the Harem Plan, thinking that she will not approve. They then all speak to the mother, named Sephie Michaela Deviluke, and ask her about her veil. Peke tells them that Sephie a Charmian, and so if men were to see her without it they would immediately turn into beasts. Sephie decides to stay for dinner, and afterward all the Devilukeans and Mikan go to the cyber world Nana created for her animals to take a bath, while Rito puts Celine to sleep. However, Celine runs off, into the magical cyber world, and Rito chases her. While looking, he accidentally trips and crashes into Sephie, grabbing her breasts and veil. When Rito sees Sephie's face unveiled, he freezes, and Peke, assuming he's turned into a beast, uses Nana's panties to restrain him as Sephie runs - right into a group of Nana's animals who, enraptured by her beauty, chase her. Rito, meanwhile, informs Peke that he has kept his reasoning, and then helps Sephie (who has run back to them, away from the animals) escape. When they sit down to hide from the animals, Sephie remarks on how similar Rito is (especially the expression in his eyes) to her husband, who was also unaffected by her charm. Rito also accidentally reveals the Harem Plan. The others, alerted by Peke, hurry to where they are, and Rito is attacked by Nana, who assumes he has turned into a beast. When it is revealed that he is unaffected, all are amazed. After this, they all go back to the house and Sephie has to leave. Before leaving, she whispers to Momo to do what she thinks is right, and to give it her best. Momo realizes that she has found out about her plan and is stunned at her approval. After Sephie leaves, Mikan calls her own mother, wanting to hear her voice. The episode ends with Sephie thinking about her first encounter with her future husband, Gid Lucione Deviluke, who saved her life during the galactic war. While going back she wishes them good luck for Rito. | |||

| The episode begins with Haruna and Lala (still in her child form) having some tea. Lala calls Rito to come over to her house, much to Haruna's embarrassment. She even plans to have her confess her feelings to Rito or giving him a sudden kiss if she can't do it. Then, Rito arrived to her home with the flowers that Momo told him to give her. As they entered her room, Rito accidentally stepped on Lala's mecha ball (that she's working to get her back to her original age temporarily) and caused him and Haruna to shrink down, leaving them naked (as their clothes remained at normal size). Giving them tissues as clothes, Lala told them that the effects will last about an hour, which unfortunately led to a bad time as Haruna's parents show up for a visit. Peke has Lala disguised as Haruna and joins in on their conversation. Next, when Haruna and Rito fall safely on the floor with her clothes, her dog, Maron, begins to sense her and they hide underneath her panties. Before Rito is about to have their chance to make a run for it, Haruna stopped him and they kissed each other accidentally after Maron leaves when he heard Lala's voice, thought to be Haruna. After having dinner with Mikan and Nana, Rito is delighted that he finally has his kiss with Haruna, but he started to worry if this experience might make her hate him. While he was being unexpectedly seduced by Momo, Haruna started to feel worried as well if the kiss might have made Rito uncomfortable. At school, while Nana is having conversations with Mea about babies born in the cyber safari, Rito started to stay away from Haruna, which makes Haruna think he hated her. After helping Rito escort from Yui and Run, Momo convinced him to confess his feelings towards Haruna, while Oshizu, to who she told the whole thing, wants her to do the same with Rito. Next, Rito and Haruna meet up and they feel anxious about what they want to say. However, before Rito was about to confess his feelings, Haruna abruptly apologized to him, much to his shock. They decide to let it slide and feel relieved that they're not angry at each other, much to Oshizu's disappointment at her for not confessing her feelings to him. Suddenly, the Kyu-Octopuses appeared with Nana and Mea around its tentacles, including Oshizu. Then, one of them grabbed Rito and Haruna, leading him into his accidental position with her. Before Momo can make her escape from the situation they're in, one of the Kyu-Octopuses appeared in front of her. | |||

| During the night, Mikan appears to let Lala know it's bath time, but she told she works on something new for an invention. During an unexpected fight at school between Nemesis, Mea, and Yami, Lala brought along a robot cat called Nyan-Nyan Copy-kun, under Ryouko's request and shows it to Rito and Haruna. When Rito tripped and bumps into the cat, it electrocuted him and ran away. Then, when Rito sneezes, a clone of himself appears. Lala informs him if he can pull the robotic cat's tail, the effects will reset. During his chase at the cat, numerous Rito copies kept populating every time he sneezes and gets into embarrassing situations with other girls, except Momo and Nemesis on the school rooftop. Celine helped Haruna find the cat which is asleep in the bushes, meaning she stopped the copying process. At night, Mikan, Lala, Momo, and Nana at home see numerous Rito clones still present until the effects wear off, Lala says that she didn't know that the copy effect would be worsening. Nana thought that it was the end of Earth. Momo says "If mecha wasn't found the Earth might have ended up covered in Rito-sans. Run wanted one for herself, for Yui's disapproval. Outside the house whole street is covered in hundreds of clones of himself. The episode cuts to black and Rito's sneeze is heard for the last time. | |||
