Don and his co. decide to help her recover her memories, while also deal with the troubles Dr. Evil Lou's Waru Robots were causing. Throughout the game's story, she regains most, if not all, of her memories with Don and his co.'s help.

She is later brainwashed by Dr. Evil Lou using a remote brainwash device and turns against Don and his co., but is defeated and breaks down once more, much to Don and Katsu's sadness. Shortly after, she was miraculously revived when Dr. Evil Lou attacks the Municipal Wadaiko Laboratory, and Don and his co. put an end to his evil scheme once and for all.

After that, she stays in Professor Otowa's lab and occasionally visits her friends.
