Recovery of an MMO Junkie

Having quit her job, Morioka Moriko finds solace in an online role-playing game and befriends another player named Hayashi.

Moriko starts feeling guilty after she lies to Lily and her friends about current status of her life in the real world.

Moriko's work with the guild makes her feel better until an unexpected and generous gift from Lily causes her to wonder what her friend is up to.

Moriko's quest to acquire attractive new loot boxes runs afoul of the game's greed sensor; while at a convenience store in the real world, a man approaches Moriko.

Hayashi asks Lily for advice about what to wear on a date; Sakurai starts to suspect Moriko might be the person behind Hayashi; Moriko gets a makeover to look her best for Koiwai, but when she goes to meet him, he doesn't appear.

Moriko stumbles upon Sakurai and realises why she can't find Koiwai; when Moriko and Koiwai finally have their date, they talk about the video game.
