Ep. 3: Yotarou vents frustration through a rant while worrying about Konatsu and his rakugo

Yotarou struggles with the pressure of creating his own rakugo and feels uneasy about Konatsu’s connection to a local gang boss. To relieve this stress, he performs a rant from "Daiku Shirabe." Higuchi accompanies him, casually asking why the carpenter chooses this specific performance. Yotarou admits he has never previously considered the reasoning behind his actions. Shortly after this conversation, he learns that the gang boss is planning to visit the restaurant where Konatsu is employed. Motivated by concern for her safety and their relationship, Yotarou decides to go to the restaurant as well to observe the situation firsthand.
