At Kaimei High School, the Living Assistance Club (aka the Sket Brigade) was organized to help students with problems big or small. Most of the time, though, they hang out in their club room, bored, with only a few trivial problems floating in every once in a while. In spite of this, they still throw all their energy into solving these worries. <br><br> (Source: Crunchyroll)

21. Otaku & Occult
Bossun bumps into Himeko outside on the weekend, and they happen to spot Switch and Yuuki meeting up nearby as well. Their curiosity piqued, they decide to trail the 'odd couple' into a shopping mall. Turns out Switch is helping Yuuki with a request- to choose and purchase a laptop, so she can create a website dedicated to her passion of all things occult.
Hijinks ensue, with the embodiment of 'Otaku' and 'Occult' clashing their interests and respective positions(supernatural vs science) against each other all the way(in their usual fashion). Nonetheless, they seem to be getting along well(again, in their own way), and even Bossun and Himeko note how unusual it is for Switch to be going out of his way to help his 'archrival', Yuuki.
Switch and Yuuki then bump into her old crush from middle school, Kobayashi, who was there with another girl. He talks down to Yuuki, which seems to rub Switch the wrong way. After he leaves, Yuuki confides to Switch her past in her middle school: she was melancholic and had few friends, but wanted to try falling in love. She started having feelings for Kobayashi who was rather popular with the girls, but he turned her down citing her scary appearance. After hearing the story, Switch decides to bring her around the mall to do a total makeover for her. Later, after being abandoned by the girl he was with, Kobayashi spots a beautiful girl standing alone by a fountain outside, and hits on her. This turns out to be post-makeover Yuuki, however, and together with Switch, she finally turns the tables on him. On the way home, they bond over the incident, with Switch still denying any romantic interest in her. However, she notes, he will go with her again the next day to shop for the laptop.
At the end of the episode is an omake bit, "Resort Dance", which has the girls at the beach playing the Japanese word game Shiritori.
