Nagisa continues to document Koro-sensei’s weaknesses, and another one comes in the form of the curvy new English teacher, Ms. Irina Jelavitch, who is actually also a trained assassin! She uses her feminine wiles to get close and trap Koro-sensei, which also includes extorting Nagisa for the intel he has already gathered. When her initial plans fail, Ms. Vitch must endear herself to the students to earn her spot among Class 3-E. Then, it’s time to prepare for the Midterm, and Koro-sensei isn’t about to let his pupils think less of themselves, even if the whole school is against them. Afterwards, the whole school goes on a trip to Kyoto, which might be the perfect time to plot an assassination attempt via snipers.

Zhihan, meanwhile, was untrusting and disgruntled, just as her grandma was at first. With few resources for her family, how could she expect to keep another mouth fed?

In this collection of short stories, Takeda explores love and humanity in some non-traditional ways. In the first story, a young princess is captired and blindfolded and forced to sign treaties or make other deals that syphon away her power. the only person who shows her kindness during her captivity is a man with no pinky. During the three months of captivity, she can feel herself falling in love. In another story, a woman comes face to face with her stalker and has an honest conversation with him while they wait for the police. Another story with a historical setting focused on an emperor on his wedding night where he became entangled with an empress-assassin, and how they both found happiness in the end. In another story, explorers think they've found a "treasure" in the jungle, but it's a delicious new fruit instead of gold. But not understanding the native language costs them dearly. A short interlude piece spanning only a few pages focused on a vending machine and the apocalypse. In yet another story, a wife who is dying of cancer makes a difficult choice for her husband so that he might live on easier without her once she's gone.
