In 2-A class, Risa asks Lala how she maintains her figure and Lala admits that she doesn't do anything to maintain it. Peke then explains that this is a trait Lala inherited from her mother. Indeed Lala states she don't get any fatter no mattter how much she eat. Risa is very envious and commenting on Lala's perfect chest, waist and hips. Risa then teases Rito about how tempting Lala's figure is and Haruna overhears it worried that Rito like big breast. Haruna then remember all the effort she has put into her chest growing, but with very limited results.

But Rito tells Risa that a man is making a big mistake if he looks only for appearance in a girl and it's not what's on the outside that matters, but rather the inside. Haruna is very impressed form his words and Lala says that she knew that was how he felt. Risa then teases Rito by pulling up her skirt, showing her panties and asking if he wants to know what's inside. Rito blush scared and Risa laughs at how easy it is to get a man to look. Haruna says her to stop and Yui then comes up and yells at Risa too telling her to refrain from doing anything that will damage the school's morals. Risa then grope Yui'chest saying that, despite what her words, she has a very nice and morally-offensive figure.

Mikado ask her what she doing recently to improve her figure and Risa says she has been skipping breakfast which Mikado-Sensei tells her is not a good option. Overhearing the conversation, Oshizu then comes in telling them that, when she was alive, there were many people who wanted to eat but couldn't. Oshizu ask them why they want to do something so unnecessary like lose weight (by emotion, her spirit come out from the artifical body while she's talking) making them feel guilty.

Lala then comes up, telling Risa that she has invented a machine for losing weight that Rito is testing. The machine is called Umpaka-kun and resembles a mechanical-horse which Rito is riding but it don't stop. Shocked, Risa then tells Oshizu that she is fine the way she is.
