== Synopsis ==
Gasu and Tuzi go to eat at the mall, talk about sex stuff, and then go meet a new friend at Tuzi's family's restaurant, Kasaki.
== Full Plot ==
The episode opens with Gasu and Tuzi at the food court of Mall 105. Gasu thanking Tuzi for taking him to the mall and getting him General Tso's chicken somehow segues into a vague discussion about the benefits of pineapples in one's sex life. After they eat, the two walk to a restaurant in the mall; Iris Chinese Restaurant, so that Tuzi can meet one of his new employees.
At the restaurant, the new employee, Kasaki, recognizes Tuzi as his employer's son, and asks if he ordered the "extra pineapple-y General Tso's chicken," which he confirms. He introduces Gasu to him, and the latter quickly becomes smitten. Kasaki introduces himself, and goes on a tangent about how even though it might be unusual for a Japanese person to work at a Chinese restaurant, he not only has no problem doing so, but that working there and being "multicultural" puts him a step ahead of others. His raw confidence causes Gasu to get a nosebleed, which Tuzi and Kasaki laugh about.
Gasu and Tuzi leave after Kasaki is called away to help prepare egg foo young, and they board a bullet train, sitting next to Nya-Sempai. On the way home, Tuzi asks if Gasu thinks Kasaki is a "total piece of ass on a plate," which makes Nya-Sempai uncomfortable and she meekly reminds them that the conversation they're having might not be appropriate for public spaces, to Gasu's humiliation. Mentally though, he comments that Kasaki is pretty "guapo."
