The Naked Young Lady Tsuyuri gives advice on how to start drawing dōjinshi and recommends buying some "examples" in the form of an adult game. Tsuyuri takes Najimi to a video game shop, and gets her to buy a popular adult game, despite Najimi being extremely embarrassed at doing so. At home, Najimi attempts to play the game, but finds it too risky with her family there, so takes a ride on her bike to Tsuyuri's house. On the way, she is stopped by a policeman who wants to know what she is carrying, but Najimi runs off on her bike due to embarrassment. Eventually, she is surrounded by policeman and must open the bag the game was in, but it turned out the game had slipped out. The game is later returned to her by a man who saw her drop it, much to Najimi's despair. |

The guy she met earlier buys a copy, and Najimi is so overjoyed that she hugs him. Men nearby gather around and try to buy Najimi's dōjinshi to get a chance to be hugged as well, but retreat after Tsuyuri explains that they will not necessarily get hugged by Najimi if they buy the dōjinshi. |
