Detailed Summary
A girl from Sanada West High bursts into North High’s Student Council room, asking for a favour. This annoys Motoharu and Karasawa, but they agree to help her out anyway. Motoharu asks her to write down her name and address and describe the issue, while Karasawa pours out some tea, wondering how many cases it has been and why they'd become a troubleshooting joint. The girl tells them her dog Takurō is missing.

A frustrated Motoharu then snaps at Karasawa, blaming him for helping others too much and spreading their name for the wrong reasons. Karasawa responds by saying that Motoharu was no different in that regard. Motoharu carries on, telling him that he’d be taken advantage of in the real world with this kind of behaviour. He says that they should henceforth become people who can say ‘No!’ to any request, and asks Karasawa to swear to this. Karasawa immediately responds with ‘No!’, ticking him off.

Just then, the Vice President enters the room, carrying a corgi. He starts telling the others he picked up a lost dog and doesn’t know what to do, but is interrupted by the girl eagerly calling out to the corgi, which turns out to be hers. Motoharu collapses, exasperated, noting that the VP was just as hopeless as they were. He then picks himself up and continues, reiterating to the others that accepting people’s requests wasn’t Student Council work and that they should cut it out. Karasawa once again says ‘No!’, and Motoharu threatens to beat him up.

He also snaps at the girl, who’s lost control after being reunited with her dog and is laughing in hysteria. Karasawa then remarks that he has an idea. Holding out a palm to the girl, he asks for 1500 yen for the service, which shocks her. Motoharu excitedly agrees with the idea.
