Ep. 5: Nozomi's group meets Himeko amid Mie and Aichi tensions and restaurant chaos.
Himeko returns home as explosions destroy her father's project and statues in Mie and Aichi. Nozomi and her companions arrive in a region under fragile peace between Mie Motors and Aichi Tenmusus. They are detained at a restaurant where they meet Himeko, who seeks Maccha Green's assistance. The Mie Motors vice-chief interrupts, fighting the owner Dandy before departing. Dandy advises Nozomi to find the Mie leader. Meanwhile, Himeko's neighbors recall the regional conflict, and she realizes her father feigned illness to force her into the family business. Separately, the vice-chief challenges Tomoki for his Best position, which Tomoki declines while fleeing Aichi servers. Tomoki later encounters Himeko outside, and both are dragged into another restaurant.
