Nijika discusses the first meeting of Kessoku Band. She and Ryo applauded for clapping. Ryo picks a die and rolls to "talk about school", or "TAS" for short. Nijika and Ryo have the same school named Shimokitazawa High School when Bocchi asks them not to make the same school.

When Nijika perform with the band, ten people attended, and the manager splits their money between the live house and the band. When Ryo perform in the band, only two people attended, thus it fails to meet the quota. Nijika's friends had come to the live house yesterday, and they won't be back.

After school and goes to the live house, Bocchi hesitates to open the door, she is surprised when the manager talks to her. Bocchi makes the manager calm down. The manager didn't recognize her as having a part-time job and Bocchi helps Nijika to come here when thinking.

Bocchi can work now as a drink staff, and the customers can pay 500 yen for a drink ticket. Bocchi stares at a drink ticket, but Nijika is aware the live house is considered a restaurant. Bocchi stares and blushes at the live house and thinks that the flowers are growing in Loneliness Hill. Nijika sees that the customers are already, thus Bocchi becomes frightening, the flowers are dead in the Loneliness Hill, and closes the drink staff.

The third customer ordered an orange juice, Bocchi served an orange juice and grinning her face to the customer, and she became exhausted.
