In episode 8 of Food for the Soul, the girls find their clubroom unbearably hot due to a supposedly broken air conditioner. While seeking relief, the agriculture club president asks for help harvesting vegetables. Shinon agrees in exchange for continued fridge access. After harvesting, they receive produce as a token of thanks and plan a supper using the fresh ingredients.

Shinon swaps their mannequin for borrowed yukata, and the girls cook vegetable tempura, noodles, fruit salad, and shaved ice. Just as they finish, staff arrive for a maintenance form—revealing the air conditioner wasn’t broken, just undergoing scheduled maintenance Shinon had forgotten about.
