Ep. 20: Mio struggles with manga assistance while Misato faces indifference and Nano plays hide and seek.

Mio enlists Nano, Mai, and Yuuko to assist with her yaoi manga submission, but the session proves chaotic. Nano feels embarrassed by the genre, Mai adds unnecessary details, and Yuuko accidentally spills ink on a page, failing to repair the damage. Concurrently, Misato discusses her feelings with her senpai Yoshino, who ignores her and offers spicy crackers instead. In a separate incident, Nano and Sakamoto play hide and seek with the Professor; when they pause the search, the Professor reveals herself out of fear of being forgotten. Later, Mio erupts in anger at Yuuko for appearing unhelpful, specifically criticizing her for buying drinks and making jokes rather than providing drawing paper. Yuuko attempts to explain, but Mio continues shouting until she discovers Yuuko actually purchased the required papers, leaving Mio deeply embarrassed by her misunderstanding.
