In the previous episode, as Morihito was cleaning out some boxes, Nemu arrived at the Otogi house. While they were talking, a piece of paper slipped out of the box. Upon notice, the paper was a letter that Nico handed to Morihito when they were young. As Nico and the others saw the letter, they were wondering where Morihito had gone. Nico revealed that he went to visit his mother's grave.

As Morihito visited his mother's grave and talked about the past, the episode shifted to flashbacks of him and Nico's childhood. Sometimes, other kids bullied Morihito, and he would beat them. Nico was the only friend who stood by him despite everything and the only friend who played with him.

However, later in the episode, while Morihito explained to his mother that Nico was his best friend, Nico had other plans and wanted to get married to Morihito. As Nemu wondered why Morihito could not get out of the friend zone with Nico, she discovered that it had something to do with Nico's letter and the curse it carried.

When Miharu and Nico left for the convenience store, Nemu revealed the secret about Morihito's curse to Kanshi and Kego. While they were exploring possibilities to lift the curse, Nemu came up with a remedy. After using the Feelingram spell on Morihito, it was revealed that Morihito only thought of Nico as a friend he needed to protect and nothing more. However, Morihito's feelings changed by the end.
