As a final trial, the girls must live together with the members of four other comedy teams in Takako-so, a dormitory with a distinguished history of housing famous comedians.

The Evil Magistrate Chapter One day, between their rehearsals and training activities, the five comedy teams at Takako-so are given a chance to appear on television. Only two teams are allowed, so the girls hold a lottery to decide who will go. The winners are Bullet Kunoichi, with members representing two parts of the western Kansai region, and Akudare Kingdom, with members from the eastern Kanto region. When the two teams arrive at the shooting location, they realize something strange is going on. A quirky producer suddenly appears on the unusual set and has the girls start competing in a bizarre quiz program. |

The Salon Chapter The Takako-so residents get mislead by a string of clickbait articles with headlines like "Famous Mascot Complains to Store," "Cows Pile on Hokkaido Cookie Shop," and "Full-Scale War Breaks Out Between Takoyaki and Okonomiyaki." Meanwhile, Shirakabe Mako from Celebri-Tea struggles to do work on a frozen laptop in the cafeteria. When Yuzu offers to fix Mako's computer, what pops up on screen is a document written by White Wall, the author of all the clickbait articles. |
