Nozomu Itoshiki, a direct marketing businessman, is pursued by the religious group Hamasho and transformed into a Mole–cricket man before becoming a teacher. Students nickname him "Left-wing Guerrilla," causing despair until Kafuka suggests a mock marriage to a girl from the Holy Nosebleed Empire. A card reveals this segment is a gag from the first manga volume's jacket. In the second part, Nami Hitō returns to school unnoticed because her classmates are too extraordinary. Her claims of suffering are overshadowed by others, leading to her designation as the 'ordinary girl' among the major characters introduced.
