Dear Nii-sama.

I hope you're doing well as the skies
begin to take on an autumn hue.

It feels like the
chestnut trees on the hills

will drop ample fruit and let us
enjoy the fall flavors again this year.

I'm sure you must be longing for
the familiar taste of home by now,

so I'm sending some of your
favorite chestnut rice.

Chestnut Rice?!

Woohoo!

What's this about chestnut rice?

It's my all-time favorite food!

That's not nearly enough!

This just makes me crave it more!

How annoying.

She's telling him to come home
if he wants more, huh?

Heya.

Oh? What's going on?

- My chestnut rice... My chestnut rice!

- Ugh.

What a baby.

- My chestnut rice!

- What's this about?

- Don't worry about it.

That's the gist of it.

So we're on a chestnut hunt today
because Iori won't stop whining.

Got it.

Would it k*ll you to be nicer about it?

There are other visitors here,
so keep that in mind and behave.

Okay.

Oh...

This is an edible mountain plant, right?

Let's see.

Akamizu, also known
as the Bottom's Up plant.

It's used as dressing and in salads.

Well spotted.

How like us to find something
called bottom's up.

True that.

I found some maitake.

Mushrooms now?

We could use them in a soup.

Or stir-fried with garlic.

There are wild chives over here.

Way to go, Chi-chan.

You've got an eagle eye.

I did some research beforehand.

If this keeps up,
dinner's gonna be a feast.

Why?

Weren't we supposed to behave because
there were other visitors here?!

Yeah.

Exactly.

Practice what you preach!

You've got it wrong, Cakey.

We're not naked because we want to be.

Whoa, a hot spring!

Let's take a dip!

We never saw it coming.

Those monkeys took off with our clothes.

Just cover up and go
get your clothes back!

Cut!

Ikegoshi-kun, can't you show
some more personality?

I'm sorry.

You're all looks and nothing else.

And here I hired you because I heard
you went wild on another show.

There, there.

I'll go wash my face.

He's trying his best.

He even dyed his hair
to boost his presence.

Nah, I'm not buying it.

With your experience,
you should see the problem here.

Personality really matters?

And yet, that kid's got none—

Whoa, you came back with a vengeance!

I've never seen an idol go that far!

Why don't we give him another shot?

Nah, this was a classic bit
in older shows.

He's got too much idol pride
to go all the way...

Have you no pride?!

Look at that.

He's going all-in on this.

Fine! Roll the cameras!

Yessir!

Shuffle, shuffle.

Huh?

Where'd they go?

Oh, great...

Pervs!

Pervs?

Where?

I'm looking at them! They're right there!

Why are you freaking out, Kohei?

Drink some water and chill.

Oh, thank... you?!

My eyes!

There's no way that's water!

What are you talking about?

It's clear like water.

Can we talk about what's in it,
not just what it looks like?

What's gotten into you?

You're acting like
a fish out of water.

You make it sound like I'm the weirdo...

What's this? The more I talk to them...

We have oolong tea, too.

And it also stings my eyes!

the more I feel like I'm at home
on a variety show!

Let's go, Kohei.

Back to picking chestnuts.

Undressed like that?

I've always been told I lack personality,

but I'm gonna learn a thing
or two from these guys!

I see some on the ground over here.

Cool.

Way to go, Kohei.

Who's picking them up?

Let's decide with strip RPS.

What can you even strip off?

There you are.

Wow, you found a lot.

Yeah.

All thanks to Kohei.

They're talking to a girl
butt-naked like it's nothing?

Wait, I met him in Palau.

I get it. They're mistaking me
for their friend.

Hey, Kohei.

What's with the outfit?

Crap! My clothes are gonna give me away!

Why are you dressed?

My brain can't keep up with these convos!

I-I brought a change of clothes
with me just in case.

Are you really Kohei?

Ack!

Hey, something's wrong with Kohei—

Oh, whatever.

He's alive after chugging this?

Just you wait, Producer.
I'll come back a changed man!

Sing, la-la-la-la, Lalako-chan!

Put everything you have into stocks!

Blame the system!

If they crash, destroy the sea level...

Now he's belting out an anime song.

He went from plain to insane.

Hmph. Otaku idols are dime a dozen, but...

only a real Lalako fan knows that one.
It's an unreleased character song.

I'll give him props for authenticity.

You're a fan, too?

You think he went with
this persona because of that?

Oh, the rumor that's
taking showbiz by storm?

They say he's marrying
Yurika Muranaka next year.

Yeah, yeah.

What was that?

Tell me more.

There's more over here!

Whoa!

Another jackpot.

You're good at this.

Really.

I'm amazed you can find
so many with clothes on.

You might've found even more naked.

And I'm amazed you can even do this naked!

This is perfect. I feel like I'm
on the verge of a breakthrough.

Kohei seems different today.

He's actually being useful for once.

And he refuses to get naked.

Then again, I might lose
something in the process.

It's time I tried out a gag—

Hey, as*h*le.

I-It's you!

Any last words?

Damn, he's really mad that I posed as him.

Uh...

I should just fess up
and apologize profusely.

I'm sorry for impersonating you!

Impersonating?

Hey, I see two Koheis.

But I didn't mean any harm by it!

Not sure what's going on,
but he didn't mean anything by it.

He apologized. Cut him some slack.

So what if he posed as you?

You guys...

Sure, I'll forgive you for posing as me.

There you go.

Good for you, whoever you are.

But...

Whoa!

You're never getting away
with marrying a voice actress!

Run for it, dude!

Huh? What?

Have you calmed down some?

Regrettably.

Where does that latent power
of yours come from?

We keep telling you
to settle beefs with a game!

I know.

A game?

Our club has a rule about
using games to settle arguments.

Is that so?

It is so.

We don't like fighting here.

I'm glad we can settle this peacefully.

What happens if I lose?

Kohei will absolutely end you.

So much for peaceful!

Hey, could you help me out here?

I believe pretty boys deserve death.

You're heartless and you like it?!

I'll give you all the chestnuts I picked!

Chestnuts? Deal, though it's
a small price to pay for your life.

Thank you! So, how will you help me?

I'll pretend to be neutral and suggest
a safe game that's good for you.

On that note,

we're doing the first-ever execution
evasion chestnut volleyburr!

Yeah!

What part of this is safe?

The rules are simple.

We'll play two-on-two using
burrs instead of a volleyball.

Good deal.

Bad deal.

The teams are me and Ikegoshi
versus Kohei and Kotobuki-senpai.

With him on my side,
victory's as good as mine.

Can we really beat that guy?

We'll be fine. We just need to k*ll
Kohei before Senpai gets the ball.

Wait, aren't you guys friends?

You can have the first serve, Kohei.

Giving us the upper hand? Fools.

Let the duel begin!

You sure about this?

I'm telling you, it'll be fine.

It's impossible to serve with that thing.

Point.

Die!

He didn't care! He spiked the thing!

He must be too angry to feel pain.

Well, time for Plan B.

And what's that?

We hang in there
until he wears himself out.

Are you telling me to die?

No clothed b*stard can take my serve!

It'd be even worse if I wasn't clothed!

Die!

Die! Die! Die!

You're one persistent as*h*le...

I'm fighting for my life here.

But I only need one more point to win.
You're gonna die either way!

Say your prayers, scum of humanity!

At this moment, Ikegoshi's brain
sensed the coming of death,

went into overdrive, stopped time,

and sifted through infinite possibilities
looking for a way to survive.

You and I look identical!

What about it?

So if I can marry Yurika-san,

it'll prove that you have a shot
at marrying a voice actress, too!

U-Uh...

My hand hurts like hell.

Hey!

His berserker mode wore off?

He really pushed himself there.

No wonder he passed out.

Kohei sure lives for his hobbies, huh?

How can you laugh right now?!

Oh man, that's a lot of blood!

Man, Ikegoshi really became
an entertainer.

Can we really air this footage?

Don't think, just sh**t.

Brings a tear.

Welcome back. I've got lunch ready.

I found this in the water, Uncle.

You picked up trash? Good stuff.

I'd rather dive in clean waters, you know?

That deserves a reward.

It's just a leftover promo, though.

A lottery ticket? Thank you!

Let's eat!

So good!

It's yummy! So delicious!

Good for you.

I'm so glad we went chestnut picking.

Oh, yeah?

You should thank Chisa-chan then.

Huh? Why Chisa?

She's the one who set the whole thing up.

Really?

She did her best foraging, too.

She even did research for it.

Wow.

You'd better thank us
for going along with it, too.

All you did was start sh*t.

I appreciate it, but I don't
have any way to repay you.

Money works.

Or money.

Gotta love cold, hard cash, right?

Give us your best offer.

Oh, if only there was
something I could do!

If only I had any money to give you!

I won!

I can't believe I actually won!

It's a huge break
at the worst possible time!

If those guys found out...

Money, money, money!

Better be careful.

Iori! It's time to go!

O-Okay, be right out.

Sorry I'm late.

You'd better be,
for making your buddy wait.

For now, I gotta keep this ticket
on me at all times.

Let's just get on with the buddy check.

Okay.

What?

Hey, your strap's twisted.

Huh? Where?

Right here.

Don't touch me!

What's with you guys?

Having trouble?

Nope, it's nothing!

Calm down. Keep your cool.

They don't know about it yet.

What's wrong, Iori?

Nothing, I was just coughing.

Good thing it wasn't serious.

They don't know.

But things are gonna get real
now that we're out of the water.

I can't let my guard down.
To keep this a secret,

I gotta steer clear of these two things...

What's up?

No, I didn't win any lotteries.

Oh?

Man, I won the lottery.

Oho?

Hey, it should be a piece of cake
for me and my famous poker face.

Here, your beer.

Nah, I'll pass today.

So, what's going on?

Nothing's going on.

Fess up and we'll give you painless death.

Let me live if I talk, man!

You're breaking our hearts, Iori.

We know you've got 100 or 200
things you can't talk to anyone about.

That's a lot.

But we know that and still
consider you a beloved junior.

Whatever you have
bugging you, just talk to us.

Trust us, man.

Senpai...

I knew it! I should've seen this coming!

You really won the lottery?

It's not good to keep
secrets from clubmates.

How much did you win?

Like I'd tell you!

This calls for PAB-style waterboarding.

That's some scary-sounding t*rture!

Senpai! What happened to settling
disputes with a game?!

He's got a point.

I have just the thing, then.

Thrilling Lie Detector Game!

Yeah!

That's just gamified t*rture!

Did you win over 100,000 yen?

Oh?

Huh? Is it broken?

Must've been when I dropped it.

Sheesh.

Oh, well.

Can we stop now?

Never thought I'd use
my engineering skills for this.

Incredible craftsmanship!

The universe has it out for me!

What's with the cords?

Just a safety feature I added.

It's designed to cut the current
just before you pass out.

Oh, so I stay awake
and the pain never stops?

Now spill it.

Never!

Chisa, you get it, right?

Huh? Get what?

That I'm not hiding anything!

He's hiding something.

Chisa!

Is the ticket in your room?

Don't ask m—

In the store?

Nowhere... Grargh!

Ugh, those monsters.

I was this close to giving in.

Whoa!

Did we push it too hard?

You're still alive?

Show some more concern, will you?

Oh, and thanks for betraying me.

Betray you?

What do you mean?

She really doesn't know what she did!

I thought we were partners.
You could've kept my lottery ticket safe.

Never sully my rep
by calling me that again.

But we are partners, aren't we?

Wha? What gave you that idea?

Did you forget about the promise?

I'll bring you if I ever win the lottery.

Okay. I won't get my hopes up.

Let's go to Okinawa.

You were serious about that?

Sure I was. I really appreciated
what you did back then.

Y-Yeah?

You even proposed
the chestnut picking thing.

So, how much did you actually win?

A cool 300 grand.

Huh...

If I'd won 100 million,
I could've taken everyone along.

Now that's asking too much.

It is what it is. So...

Let's go, just the two of us!

What's wrong?

Er, well, uh...

Got a problem with it?

No, uh...

That's fine by me.

I'm not!
