Days later, due to the visit of his mother Shoko, Koichi asks Makoto a favor to pose as his “girlfriend”, but Shoko realizes at once that everything is a farce, because it is completely impossible to conceive that a girl like Makoto has a relationship with him. Despite this, Makoto and Koichi’s mother quickly become friends, and Shoko decides to stay longer to go sightseeing in Tokyo with Makoto.

Makoto spends the next morning with Koichi and his mother touring Tokyo, but when they get on the bus that will take them back, Kuin Hachisuka, a villain who has been responsible for several incidents related to the Improntu Villains, decides to cause anoher havoc.

A cat hops onto the bus and gets injected with Trigger by one of Kuin’s bees, and due to its Monster Cat Quirk, the bus to morph into a cat bus and go out of control on an express lane, heading to a destroyed overpass. Tensei Iida, along with the Team Idaten, intervenes and manages to rescue almost all the passengers. However, Kuin gives the cat an extra dose of Trigger, causing it to move away with Makoto still on board.

Koichi, disguise as the Crawler, and Tensei collaborate together to save Makoto before the bus falls through the edge. Koichi enters the bus and rescues Makoto, as it begins to free fall from the expressway.

Ingenium has a hold of Makoto as both Quirk users were able to land on the other side of the expressway, safe and sound.

Back to Koichi’s penthouse, Shoko states she has enough trust with the people she met and is heading home. She also tells Makoto to join the family, in which she states she’ll give thoughtful consideration.

Time later, Kazuho receives an email request that asks her to join a live event on the roof of the Marukane department store. She is afraid of screws up in public, yet this is a chance that does not appear often. She asks Koichi what she should do, but he does not have a clear answer or know how to help her, so he asks Makoto for help.

When Makoto arrives, she calls her by her vigilante name. Kazuho gets mad at Koichi for her knowing her secret identity, to which he replied Makoto has sharp intuition. Makoto promises her that she would not mention her vigilante activities to anyone and that if she plays an active role in helping, she would consider it as a job and not mass with interpersonal relations in the workplace; hence she insists to be relied on. Since Kazuho does not feel Koichi is reliable enough, she half-heartedly agrees to the conditions.

Makoto deduces that the live event at the Marukane is a minor event, something like neighborhood karaoke tournament, only causing Kazuho to feel insulted. Makoto suggests to really blow the sponsors' minds. As the chief manager of Captain Celebrity Agency, she calls the event planners, and convinces them to make the event something memorable, suggesting to spruce the venue for the local talent showcase and using Captain Celebrity's name to appeal more people.
