There Kenji is welcomed by 27 members of the extended Jinnai family, with Natsuki's great grand mother Sakae as the head.
Motely crew of "relatives" are gathering to celebrate Sakae's 90th birthday, and Natsuki asks Kenji to pretend to be her fiance.
And then, a havock breaks out, bringing the whole world to a crisis.
On his first night as "fiance", a strange text message comes to Kenji's cellphone, consisting of mysterious numbers. Naturally, as a math genius, Kenji is engrossed all night trying to break the code.
The next morning, the world has changed. Conspiracy by some imposter of Kenji is bringing a global chaos.
"We shall see to it!" With Sakae's announcement, Kenji, Natsuki and the clan of extended Jinnnai family will start the "Summer War" to save the world.
