(Private Lesson)
Tomobiki High gains a new teacher named Mr. Hanawa, and he is extremely excited about his new job. He maintains a positive outlook on everything, but he is assigned to class 2-4, the worst bunch in the school. Mr. Hanawa isn't the only one starting at Tomobiki, Lum has also transfered in as a new student, much to Ataru's dismay. The students all try to play the usual first day practical jokes on him, but he seems to outwit them all.

Mr. Hanawa gets Lum to join the volleyball club and requests Ataru do the same to keep her company. The girl team is run by the ultra-strict Natsuko, a man-hating slave-driver of a coach. The boys team on the other hand is just happy to have a full team now that Ataru has joined. Before long Natsuko's hatred of boys comes up and they find out she was jilted supposedly because she loved volleyball too much. After Ataru plays against her, he sees that her good looks twist into an ugly visage as she spikes the ball and trash talks her opponents.

While jogging one day during volleyball practice Ataru manages to pique Mendo's interest in joining the club by telling him Lum is on the girl's squad.

She decides that if she wants to have a chance with Mendo she'll have to stop playing volleyball. As she weighs her options she is overwhelmed by the need to play, and spikes a ball in full view of Mendo. Rather than run from her hideous face, Mendo is quite impressed.

Senritsu no sankanbi
(Parents' Day Horrors)
Mrs. Moroboshi heads off to Tomobiki High for the annual Parent's Day. She prays that Ataru will not embarrass her as he has done during past Parent's Days. She soon meets up with Mrs. Miyake who recognizes her as Ataru's mother. No sooner do they meet then an ox-drawn carriage passes them by in the school yard. The school gardener comes up to tell the old gentlemen to move the cart away, but the old man simply says that this is the honorable Mrs. Mendo, an old fashioned woman who hates modern technology. Mrs. Mendo narrowly escapes being crushed as Lum's mother's massive UFO lands outside the school. Poor Mrs. Moroboshi doesn't know what to think when the vivacious Oni woman steps out and excitedly greets her in her bizarre alien language. At first she believes this woman is one of Ataru's lovers, but Lum introduces them and straightens things out. Mrs. Mendo is not one to be ignored and challenges Lum's mother to a duel for destroying their cart, but by this time school is already over and everyone missed Parent's Day.
