Detailed Summary
At Habara’s house, the trio are seated at one table while a girl from Central High is seated at another, facing them. She slams down a placard with a drawing on it and asks the trio to identify it. They write down their answers and hold them up. Seeing an image of a demon seated on a chamber pot, Ikushima and Yanagin answer “Belphegor” while Habara guesses “some anime character”. The Central High girl declares Habara’s answer correct, much to the others’ shock.

Addressing her as senpai, they protest that Belphegor was the right answer. Yanagin’s senior yells back that high school girls aren’t supposed to know who that is. Ikushima says there’s nothing wrong with reading the Dictionnaire Infernal, but this causes the senior to flip over her table in anger. She tells the girls that she came because she heard they wanted to increase their ‘high school girl-cuteness’, but that Ikushima and Yanagin were just hopeless.

She then snaps around, holding up another placard with a figure on it, and asks them to identify it. Ikushima slams her buzzer and then says she doesn’t know, which is declared the right answer. Yanagin’s head is still in a whirl at this turn of events. Her senior then holds up a placard of Nobunaga Oda, even having the text ‘Oda Nobu’ on it. Yanagin hesitates, realising it’s a tricky one, then presses her buzzer. When prompted, she answers with the correct name.

The senior pauses as if to think about it, before emphatically declaring it to be incorrect. Yanagin, aghast, asks why, and Ikushima indignantly adds that it’s common knowledge. Calling them idiots, the senior tells them to keep quiet. She says that acting like an idiot with zero general knowledge is the secret formula to make high school girls look cute. Holding the hem of her skirt, she adds that everyone’s eyes and minds were directed in that general direction.

To prevent her from pulling it up, Yanagin and Ikushima grab and restrain the senior. They tell her to stop offending the readers and beg her to go home. Yanagin’s senior says she doesn’t care and asks Habara to end it with a bang. Habara cheerfully waves the readers goodbye until next week.
