Summary
During the rainy season, Yui Hirasawa tries to protect her precious guitar, "Gīta", at all costs.
Plot
It is the rainy season. Ui attempts to wake up her sister Yui to get ready for school. Yui, who was playing with her guitar all night, greets her sister and her guitar before instantly falling asleep again, to Ui's chagrin.
Yui ends up completely drenched.
As they prepare to leave for school, Yui laments the uncomfortable rain and declares that she will protect her guitar "Gīta" from getting wet on the way. This results in Yui getting completely soaked as she is forced to shield her precious guitar from passing wet dogs and cars with her body to keep it dry. Ui can do nothing more than watch in horror as one misfortune after another befalls her sister. Yui, despite being inundated with water, is optimistic since Gīta is still dry.
Yui's affection towards her guitar is noticed by her classmates.
Inside class, Mio and Ritsu, tired of the rain, complain about the current weather until Mio notices Tsumugi messing with her hair with an unusually distracted expression. At that moment, Yui shows up, completely drenched. Tsumugi quickly offers to dry Yui with her towel. As Yui puts Gīta down, her classmates Himeko and Akane notice Yui's strong affection for her guitar, comparing it to a boyfriend, which Yui denies.
Mugi drying Yui's hair
While drying Yui's hair, Tsumugi acts like a hairdresser, with Yui playing along cheerfully. Ritsu asks Yui how exactly she managed to get so wet, to which Yui replies she was trying to keep her guitar dry. Mio proposes that she put it in a plastic bag the next time. When Tsumugi finishes drying Yui's hair, it ends up frizzy, with Yui complaining that she spent all morning trying to get her hair to behave. The others reveal that they have similar issues due to the weather. As they talk, Yui starts to sneeze, so the group decides to dry Yui's clothes in the Light Music Club's room so she doesn't catch a cold.
While Yui takes of her wet clothes, Tsumugi shows up with a pot filled with heated water so Yui can warm her feet in a bucket. Relaxed, Yui goofs around until Ritsu complains at her to hurry up.
Ritsu fetches Sawako's costumes.
After taking off her clothes, Yui, wearing a black cloak, turns her guitar around since she doesn't want it to see her in such a shameful lack of dress. The others wonder what she should wear now during class until Ritsu gets an idea. She fetches the costumes that were made by the club's adviser Sawako Yamanaka, which seems like a decent idea until Yui picks the giant pig costume she wore when the club was recruiting new members. At that moment, Nodoka shows up and tells the group to hurry since the classes are just about to begin. Despite the costume, she instantly recognizes Yui, earning Yui's admiration. Nodoka asks her then if there are literally any other clothes she could wear.
Yui wearing a maid outfit in class
Afterwards, classes start and as Sawako enters the classroom, she notices that Yui is wearing a maid outfit, which is amusing and confusing the whole class. Sawako tries to order her to wear other clothes, to which Ritsu retorts with the argument that Sawako herself created the costumes. Sawako silences Ritsu with a deadly glare before the drummer can finish her sentence. At that moment, Nodoka shows up with the gym clothes she borrowed from a friend from another class. Yui complains that switching to gym clothes would be boring, but Sawako furiously Yui to change anyways.
Ui is too embarrassed to tell the others about the clothes.
Meanwhile, Azusa is searching for something inside the clubroom when she finds Yui's wet clothes, unaware of the owner. Jun and Ui are clueless as well until Ui spots Yui's tights. Ashamed, she can't tell the others that the clothes belong to her sister.
Ritsu fixes Yui's shirt.
During a break, Yui is seen ironing her clothes until Tsumugi, who is much more talented at it, takes over the job. In the meantime, Ritsu fixes a loose button on Yui's shirt, earning a comment from Mio about Ritsu's surprising skills when it comes to sewing.
Yui acts as if Sawako molested her.
When Yui finishes putting on her clothes again, the group is stopped by Sawako, who is annoyed by Yui still wearing sweat pants under her skirt. When another teacher approaches them, Sawako acts unusually strictly towards Ritsu and Yui, and when she tries to force Yui to take the pants off, Yui acts like she is being molested, disturbing the students nearby.
Eventually, Yui gives in and wears her normal uniform in class, much to the disappointment of her classmates. When Mio mentions the never-ending rain again, Yui swears to herself to protect her guitar on the way back home too.
Azusa with her new guitar equipment
After school, the club meets inside the clubroom, telling Azusa about Yui's trouble in the morning. Mio asks Azusa is she had any problems with the rain, to which Azusa answers that she owns a water-proof raincoat for her guitar. After telling them how she bought it, she excitedly showers the others with all the other trinkets she bought online alongside the raincoat until Mio stops her by asking if those are actually useful. Embarrassed, Azusa avoids the question by telling them that she finally understands the purpose of the wet clothes in the clubroom and praises Yui for her resolve to protect her instrument. She then reminds Yui to be careful in the future as well, since water exposure can cause mold to grow on the guitar's fret board, a thought that distresses Mio.
Azusa being teased by the others
Worried, Yui opens the guitar case. No mold can be found on the guitar, but its strings have some rust on it, so Yui decides to change the strings on Azusa's suggestion. While doing so, Azusa asks her to stop treating the guitar as if it was a real person, leading Yui to suspect that her kouhai is jealous of the attention Yui gives her guitar. The others join in and label the situation a love triangle between the guitarists and Gīta, embarrassing Azusa.
After finishing the restringing, Mio encourages the band to practice since the rain stopped for the moment, but Yui sees it as her opportunity to get home without getting wet again, so no practicing ends up happening. Azusa starts nagging about Yui's affection for her guitar again, only to be teased affectionately by Yui once more.
Yui and Ui singing "Amefuri".
Back home, Ui spots molded lunch from two day ago and is shocked to see what appears to be mold around Yui's mouth as well, but it turns out to be nothing more than mere seaweed. While drinking tea, Ui wishes for the rain to stop once and for all. Yui, however, says that she likes rainy days now since they are relaxing and you can spend time inside with your friends. She then talks with Ui about Gīta and that she hopes to be able to spend much more time playing it. Having said that, she starts playing the old children's song Amefuri and sings it with Ui.
Yui struggling with the new raincoat
The next morning, Ui notices that it is still raining. Yui, bursting with confidence, presents to her a new improvisational rain jacket for her guitar she made, stating that it will be alright this time. The idea, however, turns out to be a double-edged sword, since it's so hard to get off that Yui has to destroy it to retrieve her guitar. After finally freeing Gīta from its case, Azusa blames Japan's climate for damaging their instruments and mentions moisture warping a guitar's neck as an example. Yui, again demonstrating her perfect pitch, notices that her guitar is now an out of tune and asks Azusa to fix it for her.
Tsumugi complimenting Azusa for her guitar's name
Afterwards, the group complains about the rain again and Mio decides to leave her bass at school to prevent it from getting wet. Yui calls her mean and apologizes to Mio's bass, calling it "Elizabeth", angering Mio. However, Ritsu and Azusa convince Yui to leave Gīta behind as well for the same reason. Azusa, understanding where Yui's idea of naming Mio's bass "Elizabass" came from, names her Mustang "Muttan" using the same naming scheme. Tsumugi, having overheard Azusa's muttering, compliments her for the fitting name, leaving Azusa mortified.
Ritsu reminding Mio of the first scratch on her bass
On their way home, Tsumugi and Azusa have to look after Yui who is somewhat depressed over leaving her guitar behind. As Mio comments aloud about Yui's obsession with her guitar, Ritsu cattily reminds her of the first time Mio's bass received a scratch and the overreaction that followed.
Yui about to jump out of the window
Some time later at the Hirasawa household, Ui hears a strange noise after finishing her homework. Worrying that burglars might be in the house, she rushes into her sister's room in a panic, just to find out that Yui herself was creating the noise by scratching the wall out of anxiety for her guitar. Realizing the problem, Ui remembers that since she bought it, her sister never spent a day without her precious guitar. Yui, at the end of her rope, attempts to jump out of the window to get it back, only to be reminded by Ui that it is raining heavily, Yui is in her pajamas, and they are on the third floor.
The next morning at school, Class 3-2 notices Yui has been happily reunited with Gīta. Sawako, albeit accepting of Yui's affection, tells her to put the guitar aside during class. While Yui and Sawako are fighting about it, Mio impatiently waits for the argument to end.
Mio caught by the others.
After school, Mio rushes towards the clubroom to find her bass safe and sound. Relieved, she hugs her bass, calling it "Elizabass", the name Yui had given it before. She suddenly feels like she is being watched, and turns around to see that Tsumugi, Yui and Ritsu had been eavesdropping on her.
