Reiko takes Jun'ichiro to the manga shop where he fully educates her on how to be an Otaku.

Suzune, Kanan, Kotaro and Kiriko follow Koyomi's car in a taxi but the taxi is unable to follow Koyomi's car which disappears through KEC's secret entrance. Inside KEC Reiko is having a tantrum about having to leave to go to school and takes over the entire security system locking everyone outside the lab until they let her become a full time researcher who doesn't have to go to school. Koyomi finds this amusing. Jun'ichiro manages to hack his way inside but then prevents anyone but himself from entering. Jun'ichiro tells Reiko he is siding with her because it is more amusing than working with the scientists. Reiko realises she also wants to do only what she yearns to do like Jun'ichiro does and the best place to find it is at school with other people. Having helped Reiko learn to have fun Jun'ichiro finally realises he no longer yearns to finish his Anywhere Door, and through flashbacks of meeting each of his students and helping them become better people, understands that what he now yearns to do is return to his class at Hiiragi Academy, determined to help each of them find something so important to themselves they are willing to quit school to follow it. Koyomi, who had orchestrated everything in secret to make him understand his role as an educator, immediately hires him back as class teacher. Upon returning home Jun'ichiro immediately writes an app designed to predict future exam questions allowing students to study the relevant answers resulting in every student in every school scoring perfect marks rendering all schools, teachers and exams totally obsolete. Jun'ichiro announces that using his app any student can easily pass useless exams on subjects they find boring and devote less time to studying and more time to learning about what excites them the most without being told what to think or how to live their lives, an entire school and eventually all of Japan inhabited by 100 million people all with YD. Koyomi happily states that Japan is set to become very amusing in the future and that Jun'ichiro Kagami really was the right man for the job.
