Mutta, who is unsure about whether he should take the astronaut exam, visits an old astronomy friend named Sharon, who encourages him to go for it. Mutta takes the first exam and manages to successfully pass. As Mutta becomes a bit concerned when he is distracted by a loose screw on his chair during the interviews for the second exam, he makes friends with another applicant, Kenji Makabe, whilst gaining a crush on a female applicant, Serika Itou. Meanwhile, behind doors, the interviewee reveals that he fiddled with the chair in purpose to see who would notice, with Mutta, Kenji and Serika allegedly being the only ones who did.
