Nodoka informs Sensei that the "mission" she mentioned yesterday involves Sensei kidnapping someone. Sensei says no. Noriko and Rin clarify that the target is Rin's crush Otoha, and that by "kidnap", they mean that they want her added to Sensei's class. They've been concerned about how Otoha is doing "cooped up in her house with overbearing parents all day", and want to rescue her. Otoha is undecided about whether to ask for a transfer, but might agree if Sensei promises her good grades. Sensei agrees to go with them tomorrow. He earns five "Nodoka points" for his generosity.
