Nagasumi's life in Seto no Hanayome season 1 episode 8, titled Crash, takes a weird turn of events. After deciding to clean up his school pool, Nagasumi falls off a ladder and hits his head. When he regains consciousness, he hears all the girls in the school talking about him, saying that he's an embarrassing nerd who still wets the bed. Out of shame, Nagasumi goes home early and doesn't want to see anyone.
Later that day, a girl shows up at Nagasumi's door and introduces herself as Akeno Shiranui, asking for his help. The mermaids have discovered a strange creature on the beach and have no idea what it is or what to do with it. Nagasumi has no choice but to go with Akeno and help her out, despite his reluctance.
When they get to the beach, Nagasumi discovers that the creature is actually a young mermaid who escaped from their kingdom. Nagasumi decides to help the mermaid and take her back to her true home, but he quickly realizes that he's in over his head. The mermaid's father is the local crime boss and he will do anything to prevent his daughter from leaving the kingdom.
To make matters worse, Nagasumi accidentally leads the mermaids back to his own home, where they create chaos and mayhem. Everyone gets into a big argument, and the mermaids are just about to attack when Sun Seto steps in and calms everybody down.
In the end, Nagasumi realizes that he's made a mistake in trying to help the mermaid. However, he also realizes that he has a responsibility to help change the mermaids' perceptions of humans, so that they don't continue to fight and cause chaos.
