As the guys' true colors come to light and an incident occurs, Nishigami steps in, sending Midori's heart aflutter. A video of Konta draws attention.

Konta lands a documentary feature but initially hesitates to accept. Once filming begins, however, his overzealous enthusiasm gets the better of him.
