Meru introduced herself as a fortune teller from the East region of Kamihama, boasting her readings are 100% accurate. She read her fortune today and decides to stay at home since it warns her of lethal danger. Her mom is used to it and is preparing to phone the school when Kanagi drops by.
Kanagi laughs at Meru's insistence on the outcomes of her reading and says that bad stuff only comes because she believe her readings are true and drag her off to school as usual. On the way, the sense the presence of a witch, and Kanagi dragged the unwilling Meru into the barrier to deal with the witch.
The witch and familiars only targeted Meru during the fight, and in panic let it ran away. She apologizes to Kanagi for wasting her mana and says that this is proof of the accuracy of her reading, but Kanagi brush it off as superstition. Suddenly, a car rushed towards Meru in an attempt to run her down. She managed to dodge, but the girls realize that it is possessed by the witch, and it is targeting Meru only. The poor girl run off screaming that she hates Kanagi for this.
In panic, Meru has ran west and into Mizuno region. Yachiyo saved her ass, but Meru was frightful at first since she remembered Kanagi warning her not to get close to the west and minimize contact with PMs belonging to the west since many look down on people from the East side of town due to class discrimination. Luckily the soothing atmosphere and kind personality Yachiyo has calmed Meru down and she think she is in luck since the PM she encountered is kind. However, Meru began to panic when she realize she is long distance away from home which is safe and worried that she might really die on the way back. Seeing her worry, Yachiyo comforted the girl with soothing words and invited her to her place.
Meru accepted the offer with some worry, but she understood Yachiyo's intentions once they reach her place and the latter to treat this as her home.
Her readings advice her to stay home, so Yachiyo's offer to let Meru stay for the day is giving her a lifesaving shelter. Overwhelmed by gratitude and at Yachiyo's trust of her readings, Meru request to join her team. While Yachiyo is fine with this, she worries about unnecessary misunderstandings since Meru is from the East, so she called Kanagi and inform her of the situation.
Kanagi gave the permission and think that joining Yachiyo is good experience for Meru. From this day on, Meru became part of the Yachiyo team. She gets along with Yachiyo, Mifuyu, Tsuruno and Momoko very quickly.
One day, Meru visited the Nanami household as usual, but more excited than normal. She explains that her readings for today were all positive and solved all the problems of her clients. She offered to help read the team's fortune. Yachiyo is skeptical since they have no idea how Meru's reading works, so Meru forcefully coaxed Yachiyo into a fortune telling section. The readings says there will be break through on her career, and the team take the news with suspicion.
That evening,Yachiyo announced with disbelief that she was chosen by a nationwide famous magazine to pose for their special issue on the cafes of Kamihama. Yachiyo was chosen mainly because she is a local. Other than Tsuruno who decides to heed Yachiyo's advice, Mifuyu and Momoko asked Meru for a reading. Mifuyu is worried about the coming up matchmaking arranged by her family while Momoko is worried about her results. Both get a positive reading from Meru.
On the evening where Mifuyu has attended the matchmaking, she announced joyfully that the person introduced is a man of integrity and is glad that she has attended that section. While she is still a high-schooler and still has no intention of marriage, she is relief that at least the partner is a good person. Momoko also passed her mid-terms with flying colors and is also relief since her grads were falling due to witch hunting.
Seeing good results from the others, Tsuruno finally broke her resolve and ask Meru for a reading. Meru declined for the day since her own reading says that any further reading will only cause negative results, but Tsuruno insist that her luck will negate any negative results. Reluctantly, Meru reads Tsuruno's fortune for tomorrow, and the results are negative. She will be plagued with stomachache the next day, so she advice her to be careful with what she eat and drink the next day.
On the evening of the next day, Meru arrived at Yachiyo's place as usual and sees Tsuruno lying flat from eating too much. Yachiyo and Momoko informs her that Tsuruno has not eat or drink the whole day out of fear, and finally broke her resolve due to hunger, deciding to eat at Yachiyo's place where at least she can be safe if anything happens. Meru warns that it is hard to prevent the future that she has read, and Mifuyu wondered if the event would be related to people around Tsuruno. The team entered a uncomfortable silence and Tsuruno realized that it might be related to Banbanzai, and having stomachache at a restaurant would usually mean food poisoning, and that would be disastrous. The team rushed to Banbanzai immediately.
For some reason, the shop is filled with costumers and Tsuruno's dad is glad that she returns on time since he is so busy that he didn't even have the free time to call her. The team wonder if this is influenced by the reading since a busy shop that has a lack of hand might lead to hygiene accidents.
Tsuruno showed some skills, like catching flies with chopsticks and carrying multiple plates of food, but she caught sight of Momoko slipping and pushing something into a bowl of Ramen where Yachiyo has taken away to serve. She asked her dad about the object, and her dad answered that it was laxative that was prescribed to him by the doctor. He wondered why it was there since he remembered leaving it at home.
Tsuruno realized they would be in deep trouble if the costumer eat the ramen, so she interrupted the serving and ate the ramen herself. The laxative comes into effect and she is stuck in the toilet for the rest of the day.
As the rest of the team are returning back to Yachiyo's place, Yachiyo asked Meru why did she become a PM, but tell her it is okay if she does not want to answer if she feels it personal.
Meru answered that she wasn't a big fan of fortune telling actually. However, she just happened to read one day that she will be in trouble and the lucky item: umbrella would save her. She was indeed about to be hit by a falling object as she was returning an umbrella, and opening it managed to save her. She is surprised by the effectiveness and wanted to learn the art to help others.
Unfortunately, what she learns is not exactly accurate, and some of her school mates even made fun of her. One case has a group of them ignoring her advice and insist of buying crepe after school, and they got harassed that day by a delinquent who was notorious citywide due to crepe.
Meru wanted to help people but realize she can only go so far from books, and QB took the opportunity to get her to contract. She wished to have the ability to read fortune at 100% accuracy, and realize she can do it using her own method when she lay her hands on her tarot cards.
The next day, Meru saw a sign which forbid Fortune Telling at Yachiyo's place. She is indignant at first, but mellowed down in understanding after Yachiyo analyze that her magic is not 100% accurate at predicting the future, but the ability to twist the future into the result of her readings. Meru lament that she made the wish to help others avoid trouble, but never expect that it would cause trouble instead. Thus, she accepted Yachiyo's request not to read fortune anymore since she cannot control the outcome.
However, she made a reading in secret, and saw a circle form by PMs. The keystone to the formation is entering Yachiyo's life in the form of a star, and preyed that the star will lit Yachiyo's path into the future, and that the future will be a warm and comfortable one.
Back to modern day, Yachiyo smiles as her daughters had their emotions being led around by the results of fortune telling on TV and them happily looking for lucky item for Felicia who has the worst fortune, and realize that she already has it: A hammer.
Yachiyo wanders with a smile if Meru will agree that this level of fortune telling is enough to bring joy to the reader, and we end the story with the memory card featuring Meru and Kanae, but with just Meru shown.

Someone on reddit did a so-so translation of Meru's side story. The grammar isn't the strongest, but should be usable for a summary?
