Aoba finishes her project of modeling villagers and gets a new one. Her next project is to design and model a character. Seeing Aoba struggling with the design, Ko gives her helpful advice. At the team leader meeting, Ko and Rin find out that they are a little bit behind schedule. It looks like the character team will have to stay some nights and come in on the weekends to catch up.

Nenecchi is still at Eagle Jump to help out with debugging. She discovers a way to see the characters' panty shots, so the director adds panty shots to the specs. Alas, this creates more work for Aoba's team that has to fix some models' underwear.

The donut store near the Eagle Jump office is having a store-wide 50% off sale. So naturally, everyone shows up to office with boxes of donuts, and it's time for a donut party.

The deadline for the game is right around the corner, so everyone at the company is staying over night after night to meet the tight schedule. However, Ko Yagami recommends Aoba, Hajime, and Yun to go to the Tokyo Game Exhibit during work hours. What is she thinking?

Aoba’s dream of becoming a character designer comes true, though she has to touch up on the designs with Ko, and has to get everything finalized by Ko. Aoba sees that her designs that won at the character design competition had already been made into 3D by Hifumi, and she tells Hifumi to ask her if she has any questions about the designs. Ko warns Aoba to hurry up and keep working on the designs, but when she sees her senpais discussing something about 3D, she is unable to voice her own opinions. Aoba then starts wondering if it’s actually okay for her to be character designer...

Aoba is asked by Umiko to sit in on an interview for a new programmer. Aoba asks Umiko if it's really okay for her to sit in on this interview, since she knows nothing about programming, but Umiko tells her that the skills of the programmer had already been acknowledged and that she'd just like her to watch how she behaves. Aoba still doesn't fully grasp the situation, when there's a knock on the door as it slowly opens. The person on the other side happens to be someone that Aoba is rather familiar with...

Running into Ko and Momiji at the cafeteria, Nene learns from Momiji that Tsubame is going against her parents' wishes and will have to take over her family's inn if she fails to get into Eagle Jump. Nene then explains how Hotaru helped give Aoba the motivation to apply for her job. Just then, the programming team discovers that Tsubame's code is full of bugs, as she prioritised speed over checking it thoroughly.
