Hajime and Yun go to see an Insect Five hero show at an amusement park. After the show, Hajime gets in line for a handshaking event with the cast members, when her friend from high school, Akki finds her. Akki asks Hajime what she’s doing in Tokyo, and Hajime tells her that she works as a designer. On top of that, she gets embarrassed for being in line for a handshake in front of Akki, so she gets out of line.

Yun and Hajime start talking about the key visuals for the game that’ll appear in gaming magazines, and Ko tells Aoba that as the character designer, she’d be in charge of doing those as well. After realizing that, Aoba starts to get nervous, but...
