Nendo assists the baseball club, leading Kusuo to realize the team relies on sports manga tropes, such as challenging stronger opponents to avoid dissolution. Nendo's presence complicates this expected narrative. Following the match, the club engages in a yakiniku eating contest. Meanwhile, Kusuo's father becomes unemployed, prompting Kusuke to secure him a position cleaning shoes that gains unexpected popularity. In a separate event, Chisato attempts to collect birthday gifts from her classmates. The situation deteriorates when she becomes upset over a present from Kokomi, resulting in the other students withdrawing their gifts. These events highlight the chaotic interactions between the characters and their unusual circumstances.
