After Momo rescues Okarun from being bullied, they begin talking. However, an argument ensues between them since Momo believes in ghosts but denies aliens exist, and Okarun believes in aliens but denies ghosts exist.

In order to demonstrate their beliefs, Momo visits an abandoned hospital with a reported UFO sighting while Okarun explores a rumored haunted tunnel. Despite their initial shock at encountering intense paranormal occurrences that surpass understanding, both of them discover new abilities. As fate would have it, their romantic relationship also blossoms during these trying times!
