The anime opened with Momo arguing with her boyfriend, eventually leading to their breakup. For the rest of her time at school, she was troubled by the breakup until she noticed Ken, who was being bullied in class.

After a brief encounter, Ken approached Momo and discussed extraterrestrial matters, particularly UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena).

Momo took out her frustrations on Ken but later apologized, explaining that while she didn’t believe in aliens, she did believe in ghosts. This revelation caused Ken to laugh, dismissing the existence of ghosts. The two then began arguing even more intensely.

Eventually, they made a bet: the loser would become the other’s gofer. Ken vowed to prove the existence of a real UAP, while Momo aimed to show him a real ghost. Whoever succeeded first would win.

Ken sent Momo to the abandoned Nagi Hospital, claiming it was a sanctuary for UFOs. He believed that if she went to the roof and called for a UFO, she would be abducted.

Meanwhile, Ken went to an abandoned tunnel known as a spiritual hotspot.

Momo revealed that, although she had never seen a ghost, she had been raised to be vigilant about them because her grandmother was a spirit medium. Growing up under her grandmother’s care, she had been forced to perform strange rituals from a young age.

These rituals caused the other kids at school, including the boy she liked, to make fun of her. This led to a rift between Momo and her grandmother. However, she eventually realized she didn’t dislike her grandmother—she just resented how the other kids mocked her family.

While this happened, Ken encountered a ghost granny in the tunnel, which terrified him and prompted him to run for the exit. Momo, still in contact with him, explained that he couldn’t lose the race to the granny, or else he would be cursed.

Suddenly, she lost contact with Ken. As she tried to leave the hospital, she encountered three mysterious figures. Momo was then abducted by aliens known as Serpoians from the planet Serpo.

The Serpoians were a male-only race and wanted to conduct tests on Momo to help their planet reproduce.

Before the Serpoians could begin their experiments, Ken, who had lost the race to the ghost granny and was cursed, was suddenly teleported to where Momo was.

Ken revealed that growing up, he had no friends and always hoped aliens would befriend him. He had been relentlessly bullied, but it was only Momo who had stood up for him, which made him feel a deep need to protect her. Unfortunately, the Serpoians were too powerful and quickly overpowered him.

Momo then remembered her argument with her grandmother, who had once explained that the rituals she performed were meant to ward off all negative forces. This memory awakened her psychic powers.

With her newfound abilities, Momo took down the Serpoians’ UFO spaceship. However, just as their encounter seemed to end, the ghost granny appeared again, declaring that her curse on Ken would not be lifted until they defeated her in the tunnel.
