Plot
Kagami develops a great interest in China. The film opens with Kagami asking her older cousin Toru Ochiai if she can become Chinese, to which he replies that she would look Chinese to westerners. Kisumi Torisawa, Kagami's mother, questions a smell coming from her room, with her husband Hideo Ochiai saying it's Chinese takeout. The scene then pans to show Kagami dressed in an orange qipao and watching a Chinese movie on her computer. Yumi Ochiai, Kagami's younger sister, later tells her parents that Kagami had become a sinophile.

Later, while Kagami is eating dinner with her family, she tells them that she has planned to travel to China with Yumi and Toru. However, her mother becomes concerned about traveling to China as it would cost a fortune. Yumi refutes Kisumi's claim that Kagami isn't "an imbecile" and has a better plan. A few days before her trip begins, Driller goes to Kagami's house. When Kisumi answers, he tells her that he needs to speak with Kagami, and tells her not to go without him.

Eventually, the trip begins, and Driller accompanies Kagami, Toru, and Yumi on a private plane, where Kagami is seen trying to learn the language but complains about it because of its difficulty. When they get to China, things don't go what Kagami expects. She gets caught in chaotic traffic, reads disturbing facts in a menu, gets a violent massage from Xiaomei Zhong, and not to realize receiving random charges. On the trip back to Minecraftia, she manages to thwart Hearthcliffe's plans after catching him in the cockpit of the plane.

At the end of the film, Kagami tells her whole family about her experience, and eventually finds a new obsession, with her redecorating her room again. When Kisumi knocks on Kagami's door, Kagami shows up wearing a hijab, and eventually sees her room decorated with Islamic themes. Kisumi and Hideo become concerned about Kagami becoming a Muslim, and tells her how expensive it is to redecorate her room.
