The Mononoke Lecture Logs of Chuzenji-sensei episode 4, titled "The Midsummer God’s Plan," opens with Ayano Ukumori winning a singing competition. The focus soon shifts to Kanna and her friends attending a summer festival, where they run into Akihiko, who is accompanied by a young girl.

Mistaking her for his wife, their curiosity grows, until Ayano suddenly bumps into Kanna and flees, pursued by two men. Kanna realizes Ayano dropped her purse during the encounter and follows in the direction she ran, only to discover Ayano has vanished behind the shrine. Kenzo, Kanna’s classmate, is the last person to have seen her, and Ayano’s father believes she was spirited away by the gods.

Officer Kiba, Akihiko, and Reijiro arrive to investigate the strange disappearance. After some searching, Reijiro offers to drive Kanna home, but unexpectedly leaves alone in a hurry upon reaching his car. Later, Kanna meets the girl who was with Akihiko at the festival. She introduces herself as Atsuko, his younger sister, sent by Akihiko to look into the case.

Atsuko reveals that Ayano’s mother had also "disappeared" in a similar way, and Kenzo’s mother was the last to see her. Despite Akihiko initially refusing to take on the case due to its sensitive, personal nature, he eventually has a change of heart.

Akihiko gathers all those involved and reveals that Ayano’s disappearance was staged. Kenzo had helped her hide to make it seem like a supernatural incident. Reijiro then arrives with both Ayano and her mother. It’s revealed that Ayano’s mother had suffered abuse from her mother-in-law while her husband ignored it. Kenzo’s mother, a close friend, had previously helped her escape.

After Ayano’s heartfelt tribute to her mother in the singing competition, she and her mother wanted to reunite and recreated the plan to make it happen. Reijiro had encountered Ayano hiding near his car that night and helped her meet her mother. Following a sincere apology from Ayano’s father, the family reconciles.

The episode concludes with Kanna asking Atsuko what prompted Akihiko to change his mind. Atsuko admits it wasn’t her. A woman named Chizuko then approaches, whom Atsuko introduces as Akihiko’s wife, and the one who ultimately persuaded him to take on the case.
