When they are boggled by how much they don't know, Super Idol Kikuko's manager, Mana-chan, appears before them. She says they are missing a promoter who will make all the arrangements for her concerts, and announces that she will take the job. Next, she claims she will need...

Promoter Yayoi Konno tells Miss Monochrome, the active idol and a part-time convenience store worker, that it's time for them to reserve venues for her live tour and asks if she has any requests. Miss Monochrome throws out exaggerated dreams like "All the famous domes and halls in the country" and "150,000 small venues" as a joke. Incredibly, Yayoi shows how skilled she is by jumping into her...

Miss Monochrome and Yui, Akemi, Kana, and Atsuko of Caramel are obsessed with dance rehearsal for their first live tour. Ru-chan provides on-point leadership, and everyone gets enthusiastic about practice. Meanwhile, Promoter Yayoi brings them work. It appears they've gotten a request to appear in a certain program, but it's a project Miss Monochrome and Maneo have heard of somewhere before.

On a drizzley morning, Miss Monochrome wakes up in her four and a half tatami-mat sized apartment. When she tries to change her battery, a leak in her roof causes her battery box to explode. What should appear from the smoke of the explosion but a good-looking guy in the form of a battery! Miss Monochrome and Battery-kun are shocked by this destined encounter. Thus begins their days of friendship.

Miss Monochrome holds a briefing session about the concert's stage setting in her 4.5 tatami mat-wide apartment with Ru-chan, Maneo, and Yayoi. She suggests an idea which would cost a massive amount of money, but it's very unlikely that Heimin Records could implement such a scheme.

She demonstrates her status as an out-of-place artifact by having Ru-chan install a program within her and performing a brand-new dance perfectly her very first time.
