He would like to return the leftover, but the owner refuses. He insists, only to the owner complimenting him as a rare case of honest youngster. As he wonders why does he get the more than what he paid, the owner considers this as a service from Reiko and the extra 300 grams is free to him. As Jun leaves, Ippei and Tatsuya confront him and take him further, realizing him that the service was given by the shopkeeper's daughter, Reiko. Jun does not have any idea, even when his teammates says that the Reiko girl has an interest of him.

Meanwhile, General Hedrer has an idea by manifesting Reiko as DenziYellow's lover to kill him, by getting her as his captive. When Queen Hedrian gives an approve of the idea, she orders the general to deploy Medamalar.

As the fortune teller leaves and she has to undergo speech training by herself, a manifestation of eyeball appears in front of her and a clone of her possess her. After that, Keller and Mirror are seen in the mirror, pleased that the plan is going well.

Jun is almost late in a date with Reiko. As he rushes somewhere, he finds Reiko. Shockingly, her personality changes from a shy girl into an outgoing girl. She compliments Jun by getting in time, before inviting him into a theatre. Unknowingly to Jun, the same eyeball is staring at him. There, Jun and Reiko watch Torakku Yarō. Reiko shows her romantic side by laying her head into Jun's shoulder and holding his hand. When the eyeball appears again, Reiko is panicked, which is adress by Jun as hungry. He offers some senbei, with Reiko takes one. As he takes another one and eats it noisily, a man sitting on a seat in front of him punches him on his face.

Jun's bruise on his left eye is being treaten by the other Denzimen. He gets scolded by Akira for bringing noisy snack in a theatre. He also gets teased by Daigoro that he should bring anpan instead. Jun wonders that Reiko is being different.

Meanwhile, Queen Hedrian scolds General Hedrer for taking so much time. The general apologises and promises that Jun will be killed.

The next day, Jun is invited into a discotheque, wondering that Reiko would like this place. As he enters the dance hall, he surprisingly see Reiko dancing in a crowd! Reiko drags Jun to dance with her, despite Jun's refusal. As he cannot take it anymore, he leaves the discotheque, making her worry and the eyeball comes again. While running on a street, he encounters Reiko again, explaining that she is not Reiko. Reiko he knows is a quiet girl who talks less. This makes this Reiko heartbroken as he pushes her before he leaves. The real Reiko can be seen begging for Jun's help. Shortly after, the eyeball takes Reiko's clone from the real one.

Jun walks out again when the Reiko clone and the eyeball encounters him. He changes into DenziYellow only to assume that Reiko he sees is a phantom or an illusion as she disappears. He the tries to punch the eyeball using Denzi Scope, but alas, it is just an illusion.
