Summary[]
The Game Development Department is having trouble deciding the genre of their video game. Overwhelmed by lack of ideas, Momoi decides to take a stroll. Wandering through the park, a ball suddenly comes flying at Momoi, but she manages to react and block it, and throws the ball back at the Engineering Department, who were testing a grenade launcher to launch baseballs. Hoshino, surprised by Momoi's athleticism at throwing the baseball, invited her to play for her baseball team. The next day, the match starts with Team Abydos playing against Team Millennium. The commentary is handled by the General Student Council, specifically Rin Nanagami as the match Broadcaster, and Momoka Yuragi as the Commentator. Momoi joins Team Abydos with a 12-11 point lead.
The match was abruptly stopped by Kosaka Wakamo and Binah with the goal of kidnapping Momoi’s sister, Midori. Momoi, discouraged if she can save her sister or not, was encouraged by her friends, Yuzu and Alice, to go on a rescue mission. Arriving at Wakamo’s hideout, they fought slimes before going higher. Finally when they arrived at the scene, they saw Midori unconscious and tied up. Under Binah’s guidance, Midori will be the sacrifice for Tree of Life to form a new world—a paradise—for Wakamo's dream to be forever with Sensei. Momoi and her group of friends, not giving up, decide to fight Wakamo and win. After being defeated by Alice's Blinding Light, Wakamo blew up the Tree of Life creating a massive crater. Momoi managed to escape, but wakes up without Alice, Yuzu, and her twin sister beside her. Searching through the crater, she finally found her sister, lying flat on a huge bouquet of flowers.
After Midori wakes up, while being held by Momoi's arms, she asked her sister if she had "finished the story yet", causing Momoi to wake up with a scream with Midori and the Engineering Department around her. It was revealed by Kotori that she was actually knocked out cold by the ball as it had struck Momoi by the back of her head, and that the entire time what Momoi has been experiencing was all a dream. After the explanation, Momoi is contented and overjoyed by her dream, saying that it gave her inspiration for their new video game.
