As she wakes up from a hangover, Awayuki is horrified to learn her livestream antics became a trending topic. She is, however, encouraged by Live-On manager Suzuki to take advantage of the newfound appeal, and Awayuki, reflecting on her slow channel growth, takes it in stride, setting up a collaboration with colleagues Sei Utsuki and Shion Kaminari.

She is later roped in to an impromptu collaboration with Sei and Shion as they read questions and participate in karaoke sessions.

Later on, Awayuki starts a stream, revealing her new outfit for her Shuwa-chan persona and celebrating on getting monetized, and begins taking call-ins from her colleagues. Nekoma Hirune enters the call, though Awayuki hears the voice of Hareru Asagiri and assumes Nekoma is impersonating her, so she entertains “Hareru” with absurd collaboration ideas but she agrees to all of them to her shock and leaves.

The next day, Awayuki heads to the studio to record her parts for a music video with Live-On and meets some of her colleagues in person for the first time, including Hareru, leaving Awayuki stunned; Live-On later premieres the music video, and Awayuki commemorates it by announcing a fourth generation of Live-On talents will be revealed soon.

After coming off from a collaboration with Mashiro, Awayuki gets a call from Suzuki that one of the fourth-generation members, Alice Sōma, has been sending requests for a collaboration, unnerving Awayuki due to Alice’s deep adoration for her.

Kaeru thanks Awayuki for instilling confidence in her and aspires to work harder to make Awayuki proud.

For the debut work of anime studio Gainax, the 1987 anime film Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honnêamise, director Hiroyuki Yamaga set a goal of "natural" dialogue, which he maintained was "a first in Japanese animation." The performers chosen to portray the lead characters, Leo Morimoto as Shirotsugh and Mitsuki Yayoi as Riquinni, were professional actors who nevertheless had little to no experience working in anime. At the same time, Gainax sought out and recruited as Royal Space Force's sound director the highly experienced Atsumi Tashiro of Group TAC, known for his work on the 1974 TV series Space Battleship Yamato. Tashiro accepted the staff position on Royal Space Force despite it being the first project he had undertaken outside his own company in over 20 years, seeing it as a chance to revitalize himself professionally, and the casting of Morimoto and Yayoi as an opportunity to depict genuine emotion and honest and fresh reactions, a spirit that Tashiro remarked he had forgotten within the world of anime.
