Raku and his friends decide to go on a much-needed vacation to a hot spring resort after their school festival. However, Raku is feeling anxious as he realizes that he has to hide his locket and the fact that he is the heir to the yakuza from his friends.

Meanwhile, Chitoge is also feeling uneasy about the trip as she has never been to a hot spring before and is worried about being seen in a swimsuit. However, her fears are quickly dispelled as she sees that everyone is having a great time.

As the group enjoys the hot springs, they are approached by a young girl named Paula McCoy, who is searching for her lost parents. Raku and his friends decide to help Paula and embark on a search for her parents. Along the way, they encounter several obstacles, including a group of yakuza members who mistake Raku for the boss and try to kidnap him.

As Raku and his friends continue the search for Paula's parents, they run into trouble with the yakuza again and are forced to confront them. In the midst of all this chaos, Raku accidentally reveals his true identity as the heir to the yakuza.

Despite the revelation, Raku's friends continue to support him and help him protect his family's honor. As they work together to navigate the dangerous situation, Raku and Chitoge find themselves growing closer as they bond over their shared experiences.

In the end, Paula is reunited with her parents and Raku and his friends return home safely. However, Raku is left wondering what the future holds for him and Chitoge, as he realizes that his feelings for her may be stronger than he ever imagined.
