In the fourth episode of "Urusei Yatsura," the story revolves around a tennis doubles match between Ataru, Lum, Shinobu, and Mendou. During the game, Lum cheats by using her flying ability and hits a tennis ball so hard that it strikes a capsule carried by crow guardians. Inside the capsule is a sleeping space princess named Kurama.
The capsule slides down a hill and lands on Mendou. Ataru is immediately drawn to the princess and tries to approach the capsule. The crow guardians, impressed by Mendou's appearance, mistakenly believe he is the ideal partner for Princess Kurama. They encourage Mendou to kiss the princess to wake her up.
Ataru seizes the opportunity and kisses Kurama first. Lum responds with an electric shock, sending Ataru fleeing. When Kurama awakens, she sees Mendou and assumes it was him who kissed her, which, according to her tradition, makes him her chosen companion.
The crow guardians and Lum want Kurama to end up with Mendou and conceal the fact that Ataru was the one who actually kissed her. Kurama joins their class and quickly falls for Mendou, causing a stir among his admirers. Ataru and Shinobu try to tell Kurama the truth but are stopped by the crows and Lum.
In a hurry, Lum and the crows build a "love nest" for Kurama and Mendou on the school grounds. Mendou, overwhelmed by the speed of events, hesitates. Ataru, still tied up, interferes and confesses that he was the one who kissed Kurama.
The elder crow confirms Ataru's statement and emphasizes the importance of tradition. However, when questioned about the reason and consequences of this tradition, the elder is unsure. To clarify, they use a device to communicate with the elders of their homeworld.
The first elder reveals that he created the tradition based on his personal experience with his own bride, making it arbitrary. Kurama, frustrated by this revelation, rejects the tradition and retreats to her nest, followed by Mendou, who is willing to become engaged to her.
Ataru interrupts the two by dropping a giant temple bell on Mendou, who panics in the confined space. Kurama, unimpressed by Mendou's behavior, decides to set out in search of a husband. She embarks on a quest to find a man who meets all her criteria.
