Mihari tells Mahiro that she has something to thank her for helping out while she was sick. Mahiro is excited and believe that it is another game currency card, but Mihari instead gives Mahiro a chore helper card.

Mahiro gets upset, asking Mihari if she looks like a grade-schooler to her. Mihari just tells Mahiro that if she fills out the entire card, she'll increase Mahiro's allowance. Mahiro is shocked, but goes along with it for the sake of more allowance.

Sometime later, Mahiro has cleaned the bathroom and Mihari thanks her by putting another sticker on the card. Mihari notices that Mahiro has filled out the entire card and gives her the reward as promised. The increase turns out to be an measely 300¥.
