While Satoko’s plan to get closer to Konoha has mixed results, she decides to do something after her favorite gacha she plays has its end-of-service announcement. Yep, she becomes a social media influencer.
As Konoha and Satoko finish the job for the day, Satoko is on her smartphone as she pulls a very lucky gacha pull with 3 SSR characters. Konoha notices that Satoko is spending a lot of money on gacha games. That is until Satoko freaks out that her game has an end-of-service announcement. Konoha says that is how it is with live service games, especially gacha.
I must relate to Satoko’s feelings as I have been burned by gacha games too shutting down. I spent money on Magia Record and Kirara Fantasia with the former. Satoko was a whale as she had stacks of gift cards and spent a few million yen on one game alone. Now, she has to figure out what to do next.
Surprisingly, Konoha suggests Satoko try out social media to share her cooking photos. Satoko asks Yuri for help, but she is not happy that Satoko found her not-so-secret account. Satoko used a worst-kept secret source to find that information. Eventually, Yuri told her all the information she needed to know to get started. Satoko’s use of her real name is a big no-no, especially for someone trying to hide from assassins.
With that, Satoko shares a lot of pictures and gets addicted to the number of likes on her “real ninja” account. Doesn’t that give her identity away? When Satoko notices that her posts with her reflection get more views, she gets the idea to post photos of herself. When Konoha returned home, she saw pictures of Satoko cosplaying as Virginia Robertson from Luminous Witches (another anime that Studio Shaft worked on). The funny thing is that Narumi Mai, who voiced the character Satoko cosplayed, was Kuro’s ex-girlfriend that Konoha killed off. Satoko took a photo of herself after sitting in a massage chair after a bath, and Kuro had her picture taken while obscured as she didn’t want to be in the photo.
That said, Aoko seems concerned about Konoha as she has been skipping school, spending time with a busty girl and being covered in blood. We know that the girl she hangs out with is Satoko. Konoha is having trouble filling out that career sheet. Aoko takes her to her home, where she is the only one living there as her mother and father have gone missing. Ako introduces Konoha to Aoi, Aoko’s childhood friend. Aoi doesn’t seem to have any real suggestions, except college. Aoi wants to become a doctor and is at the top of her class.
The next day, Satoko is taking pictures in a skimpy outfit. She revealed the reason she started sharing photos of herself. It’s what gives the most likes, and cooking takes more effort. I feel that Satoko is not good at her work because of all the hate comments she receives. After all, she doesn’t have big breasts, although she could get them back. Konoha asks if Satoko is enjoying what she is doing. Instead of chasing likes, Satoko should share what she enjoys.
In short, Satoko gets a camera after Konoha suggests it. She took a lot of pictures of Konoha and flowers. Eventually, Konoha got caught playing hooky at school after Satoko shared those photos. Aoko came and asked about Konoha’s career form, and she shared that Aoi got first on the mock exam.
However, things turn dark when Konoha receives a job assassinating Aoi. Konoha felt awful as the job came from someone jealous of Aoi’s high scores. Konoha didn’t take the job as her rank dropped. However, someone did, as Konoha helped Aoko by passing out flyers to find Aoi. Things turn out dark, as Aoko seems to have the worst luck. Not only her parents gone missing, or possibly assassinated but also her childhood friend?
