Full Plot of Episode[]
623, a famous radio star starts the episode by reciting a poem while the camera pans to Fuyuki reading a book about occult. As 623 says "To go to school everyday", Fuyuki realizes that he has supplementary classes that day. While he runs to class, Keroro washes the dishes while gazing out the window. He ponders about how nice the weather is outside until he hears the sound of an object breaking. Keroro panics as the broken object is actually Natsumi's precious cup.
As Fuyuki runs to his extra class, he notices a pathway that he has never walk down before. Feeling curious, Fuyuki decides to go down the path to see where it leads. Meanwhile, Keroro is running away from the Hinata House as fast as possible on his flying board as he is afraid of how Natsumi might react when she finds that her favorite cup has shattered. Keroro is dithering whether he should keep flying away or go back home and apologize to Natsumi. He looks at the sky, and 623 continues his leisurely poem to the viewer. After, Keroro decides to keep flying instead of going back, as he enjoys the outdoor scenery. Suddenly, his flying board runs out of fuel and falls, dragging him down with it. While then, Fuyuki is taking a stroll, he sees a dog named Pochi barking at a bush and being dragged away by its owner. As the owner and the dog leave, Fuyuki looks closely at the bush and sees Keroro lying down on the ground looking beat-up. Keroro looks up to see Fuyuki and jumps to hug him while crying about how scary the dog was. To calm him down, Fuyuki suggests that the two of them keep walking down the path, insisting that they might find something interesting. Keroro immediately lights up and says that they'll follow the white line down the path, and Fuyuki exclaims that it's an adventure excitedly.
The two come across a wrecking ball crane destroying a house. Keroro runs closer to it, saying that someone is destroying Pekopon houses and that he and Fuyuki must protect them. Fuyuki explains to Keroro that the crane is actually just tearing down old buildings. As Keroro focuses on the wrecking ball, he is reminded of Angol Mois and her Lucifer Spear. Keroro says to Fuyuki that Angol Mois's Hellmagedon compared to the crane is nothing. While Keroro rants, Fuyuki notices an old sign saying "Bujiya Restaurant", and remembers a memory from his childhood. A memory of his mother, Natsumi, and him when they were younger, sitting in the restaurant and eating. Chibi Natsumi stole a toothpick flag from Chibi Fuyuki, and to soothe him, Aki showed him a toy train running around the room.
As Fuyuki finishes contemplating, Keroro points to Fuyuki a red mail post and exclaiming, "This is bad!" as he believes that it is a final weapon made by Pekopon. Fuyuki tells him that it's just a mailbox, and Keroro becomes confused as the red mailbox is not what he normally sees. Fuyuki explains that although it doesn't look like a modern mailbox, it is actually an older model of a mailbox Japan used to use. With closer inspection, Keroro says that it looks like Giroro and proceeds to kick and punch the mailbox, stating that it's a good "stress reliever". In response to Keroro's actions, Fuyuki nervously smiles at him with sweat.
Continuing the running joke of Keroro pointing out "dangers" to Fuyuki, he notices a barbershop with a big pole. Keroro says that it's confusing, as he doesn't know where the spirals go or where they come from. Fuyuki says that it's just the sign of a barbershop. He realizes that the barbershop they are in front of is the barbershop his mother used to take him to when he was little. Keroro goes in to investigate, but Fuyuki follows him inside, insisting for him to stop snooping. Keroro proceeds to grab hair tools and pretends to be a warrior. Fuyuki comes into the shop and says that he never enjoyed the haircuts in the barbershop as only old women cut his hair, which made him feel embarrassed. The scene cuts to Chibi Fuyuki's memories as he sees a small girl with a ponytail in the barbershop reading a picture book. In the present, Fuyuki remembers that the little girl, who is actually the barber's daughter, used to be in the barbershop, but is now gone. Suddenly, a girl comes in and asks if Fuyuki is there for a haircut. Feeling flustered, Fuyuki nervously shakes his head and flees from the building while apologizing. As he and Keroro run away, he recognizes that girl was actually the same girl from a long time ago. Keroro points out that Fuyuki's face is red, and teases him that she was his "first love". Fuyuki denies it, but Keroro keeps insisting. Eventually, Fuyuki gets annoyed by him and stomps off ahead of him.
Out of nowhere, Keroro jumps on Fuyuki and tells him to look out. He points at two stones that resemble humans and says that Pekoponians are turning into stone. Fuyuki again explains to the Sergeant that the stones are actually statues of Buddha. Fuyuki teases Keroro by saying, "You may know a lot about Gundam Models, but you hardly know anything about common things." Keroro states that that was rude of him to say, and Fuyuki laughs and apologizes. As they keep walking they pass a statue of a green frog in front of an old store. Keroro carefully analyzes the frog, trying to copy its face, and then noticing that the frog doesn't have a belly button. Because of this, Keroro takes out a marker and draws an "X" belly button on the statue's stomach. Fuyuki nervously sweats again but smiles at Keroro as the Sergeant is smiling at him. 623 starts reciting his poem again, while pictures of Keroro and Fuyuki continuing their journey are played through the episode.
The two are shown sitting on a bench while Fuyuki gives half of his Taiyaki to Keroro. After they finish, they start walking down the path again. As they walk, Fuyuki tells Keroro that if he didn't walk down that path today, he would not have been able to take a leisurely walk with Keroro by his side. He suggests that they walk down the path again someday, in which Keroro says, "of course". 623 continues his poem, and more pictures of the rest of the main characters appear on the screen.
As Fuyuki and Keroro keep walking, they find that the path only leads back to the start. While they keep walking, they run into Natsumi, who is pedaling back home on her bike. Out of panic, Keroro runs away while apologizing to Natsumi about her broken mug. Fuyuki follows him, and Natsumi proceeds to chase them on her bike while asking in confusion what Keroro did to her mug. A picture of the scene flashes, and 623 finishes his narration by saying, "You, too, should take a little stroll. Your everyday things might look slightly different." The episode then ends with a picture of 623 winking at the audience.
