Torako finds what looks like a love letter in her shoe locker. As always, Neko tries to find a way to find dirt on Torako and shut down the Deer Club after Chiharu and Nuki have fallen.
Torako found a love letter one day, and it’s funny how Nokotan thinks it is one. After all, Torako has the looks and academic achievements to make it difficult for anyone to win over her heart. The funny thing is that Nokotan thought she was popular enough to have many letters, but she got nothing in her shoe locker.

When Torako opened the letter, it was a challenge letter from one of the gangs led by Yoshida Saori. Of course, Torako can’t get out of this by saying she moved away from being a delinquent. It’s funny how the gang members make fun of her “pet,” to which she refers to Nokotan, who wants to help. Torako says that she doesn’t need her, although she probably does.

As for the fight, Torako managed to take down two of the members, but of course, she got wrapped around chains, meaning she was pretty much stuck. That is until Torako gives Nokotan her antlers. Of course, seeing her like what to do with these is funny as she throws it to the gym roof, and it explodes. Yep, Nokotan is the cause of blowing up part of the school, but at least Torako, with Nokotan’s help, defeated those delinquents.

Eventually, Torako needs to find dirt to take down Nokotan. After all, she made it to the paper. It’s funny to see Torako feel bad for Nokotan as she doesn’t have a home and has little food. She took two bananas from her antlers and ate them.

Even with that, she still feels hungry. Torako follows Nokotan to a zoo, and she assumes that she lives there. Nope, she just works at the deer exhibit. It’s funny how she sells senbei to a couple just to eat one out of their hand. Also, there is that deer procession, which is what you think it is with Nokotan riding on a deer. Not to mention, Torako finds out that Nokotan is loaded with money as she offers her boba tea.

In the last segment, Neko is still trying to take down the Deer Club. Instead of finding dirt on Torako, she becomes a trial member and the best deer girl despite being almost like a cat girl. She is the only one who can help Nokotan’s antlers grow. Nokotan even put those antlers on her. In short, Neko’s plan to take down the Deer Club is becoming a pipe dream. The question is, will she ever succeed? Time will tell.
@chikorita157@chikorita157.com There was a second 4th wall break regarding Meme and a rice paddy in this episode. I wonder what the payoff is going to be.
Who knows, but we know she really loves her rice, probably there are other rice lovers out there as well that will gradly pay.
This episode showed that maybe there’s potential in ToraKotan.
Yep, they probably make a good pairing, given how much Torako enjoys Nokotan’s antics, although she may deny it. (Not to mention, Torako is tsuntsun towards her, so as they say, if they bicker, they are getting along)
