Switch thinks Dante is talking about how the item has something inside which Switch thinks Dante has lost something from the pen. Dante nods, and Hime beats Dante once Dante shakes his head about the lost pen. When Dante says something about spiral, Bossun thinks Dante has lost a love spell paper that is supposed to be rolled up in a pen. Furthermore, Bossun explains that if a person can go out 3 months without opening the slip of paper, the love would come true. When Hime asks Dante if he's in love with a girl, Dante blushes.

Immediately, Switch looks up what girl Dante likes, Yuki Izumisawa. Switch, Bossun, and Hime reconstruct the details and Bossun thinks someone is trying to stop Dante from his goal. He asks Dante who taught him the love spell. Later, they find Jogasaki who denies it. Switch informs Hime and Bossun that Jogasaki came up with the rumors for the Drymon Chocolate. When Jougasaki drop his Jump magazine, Bossun asks him if he and Dante likes the same girl. Jogasaki asks Dante if he likes Chiaki, but the others do not believe it. However, Switch tells them that he is not lying. Jogasaki reveals his love spell that has Chiaki's name on it that. Hime tells him that Chiaki is tough to get. Also, Switch and Bossun remind Jogasaki that he broke the love spell by opening the paper.

Switch reminds them that Jogasaki has told them about a love spell for girls. Switch explains that the girl wear something that the boy likes on her for three months. Then, Bossun asks Dante where they sell the pen, Dante replies, "Angel's Bode."

After Bossun gets mad at Dante for being vague, Switch informs them that Angel's Abode is a shop that sells stationary and writing implements. Meanwhile, a girl find a pen taped to a chalkboard. Suddenly, Bossun asks the girl if she is the one who bought the pen recently. He points out that the pen she bought is on the chalkboard. Bossun begins to explain that the girl (Yukie) swap the boy's pen. Izumi confesses that she did it. As Yukie runs, Bossun explains that the boy is waiting for her. She enters the room where Dante shows his face, yet she asks Dante who he is much to Dante and the Sket Dance's surprise. Bossun asks why Izumi took Dante's pen, and Yuki points to Murakami's seat which she likes. In the end, Kuramoto explains that Murakami was using Dante's pen instead. This means Yukie took Dante's pen from Murakami's seat. Food Fighter

At a ramen restaurant, Bossun chomps down a big bowl of ramen with difficulty as Hime and Switch cheer him on. Yet, Bossun cries as he tries to keep going, and Bossun fails and has to pay 5,000 yen for it. Before they leave, Hime tells the owner that they will get revenge. In the park, Bossun mopes while his friends console him; Switch tells Bossun to cheer over a fresh bowl of ramen. The following day, Chiaki finds Hime and tells her that she has a a day off from practice. Hime invites to eat with them after showing her cookies. In the club room, Bossun remarks that the cookies look like soccer ball. Then Bossun tries to remember what he wanted to tell the captain while Hime tries to think back. The scene shifts to Jogasaki who has the love spell in his pen.

Back to the club room, Bossun still feels full; when Hime tries to explain to Chiaki what happened yesterday, Bossun tells her to be quiet. Later, Bossun finds out that all the cookies has disappeared. Even though Hime and her friends tell Chiaki that it is okay to spill the cookies, Chiaki admits she ate all the cookies. She explains that she gets hungry due to her softball practice and that she will have a second lunch. As Chiaki talks, she eats the tea cookies one by one in an incredible time. When Bossun and the others as Chiaki to demonstrate, Chiaki eats the cookie so fast that it seems that she does not chew or swallow. Suddenly, Bossun has an idea and asks Chiaki if she likes Ramen which Chiaki say yes.

At the ramen restaurant, Bossun and Hime ask Chiaki if she is okay. She reassures and starts to eat half of the ramen in 3 minutes. Bossun exaggerates that Chiaki can eat a whole buffalo while Switch explains about the buffalo and the taste issue; Chiaki agrees with Switch. Somehow, Chiaki finds a boiled ege and tells them that if she eats it, she will puke. 5 minutes later, the owner starts insulting Chiaki for being a picy eater, and Bossun asks the owner if Chiaki swallows the egg, she could win. The owner reluctantly agrees. Bossun tells Chiaki to eat the egg and puke afterwards much to Chiaki's surprise. He tells her that he has puked five times in episode 3. As Bossun and Switch tries to feed her the egg, Hime comments that this scene looks like a twisted, fetish scene. Nonetheless, Bossun gives Chiaki a prep talk about how the egg is like a ball. He tells her to feel the urge to overcome all the obstacles and to focus on the ball. Chiaki agrees while Hime thinks all the emotional build up is strange. At the park, Hime gives Chiaki, a Taiyaki.
