One autumn day, on his way home from school, Shin encounters a strange creature searching for coins under a vending machine. The creature, who claims to be from Russia, introduces itself as Kujima and says it wants to eat delicious Japanese food. Shin takes Kujima home and ends up making tamagoyaki (Japanese rolled omelet) for the first time in his life.

Makoto, Shin's childhood friend, came to the Kouda house. Makoto said she had come to see Kujima, but contrary to her expectations, Kujima spoke in a loud, human language, making her doubt if he was really a bird. Meanwhile, Kujima also started saying things in Russian that sounded like he was picking a fight. Shin stepped in to mediate and tried to get the two to shake hands and make up.
