Plot
Rito gets a call from Run to meet her at the park. Run confess she wants him to be her boyfriend for the day. Run explain she lied at her actress friend about to have a boyfriend and, sice they have the day off, she want to meet him. Embarassed, Rito ask why she pick him. Run then starts to cry telling she'll be seen as an attention-seeking show off if he don't help her. So Rito reluctantly accedes to the deal.

Rito discover Run' friend is Kyouko and he is suprised to see her for real this time instead of the fictional Magical Kyouko used for Trouble Quest. Run then introduces Rito as his boyfriend while Rito remember Run and Kyouko recently have collaborated on film and concert, so its natural they are friends.

They take a walk on the street and Rito ask if its ok for them be out in public. Run tells it will be ok if they act like you have nothing to hide and nobody will notice them. Run then take the chance to cling at Rito rubbing her breast on him. Embarassed, Rito ask her to don't get so close but she clearly enjoy the possibility to be his grilfriend for the day.

Rito then learns that Kyouko is a half earthling and half flamien, an alien race that can manipulate fire. So, Rito realized that Magical Kyouko powers are not just a special effect and tells Lala would be surprised to learn about it. Kyouko ask about Lala that she know to be a childhood friend of Run. As the talk goes to the topic of Lala, Run notes Rito seems happy talking about her and, despite this, she is happy to be her girlfriend for a day. Feeling an idiot, Run then leave Rito' arm.

Suddenly appear the Principal who recognises Run and Kyouko (which remember him from the chapter 123). The pervert man strips down to his clothes and chases the three teenagers around asking to sign his body. Rito then take the girls in an alley. Run want to use the Pervert-Repellent Bomb to repel the Principal but, for a mistake, the bomb turns out to be the Clothes Remover Gas that leaves Kyouko and Run completely naked in front of Rito. When the Principal found them, Kyouko hides behind Rito (embarassed from the feelings of her breast on his back) and severely burns the man with her flame. Rito then runs to buy some clothes for the girls while they stay hidden.

While Rito is away, Kyouko is depressed because a boy saw her naked and Run ask her sorry. However Run says she might allow it because Rito is cute when blushes and he look like a kind and thougful guy. Run try to confess the truth, but Kyouko reveals her that she knew Rito was not Run's boyfriend because they were both too stiff. Kyouko makes an undercover bargain with Run that she will support her love for Rito and tells to don't say anything at her manager.

Rito then comes back with Lala and Peke to fix their clothes. Lala is so excited to meet Kyouko and wants them to be friends with each other. Kyouko agrees while Run tells Lala to hurry up and fix the clothes. Meanwhile some people observe the Principal' burned body wondering if he's dead.
