In the third episode, on a Saturday afternoon, Kiyomi (Ichikawa), Hazuki (Suzuki Anne), and Minami (Hiraiwa Kami) are off work and invite Takahashi to meet up at a local restaurant. By chance, Ayano (Kinami Haruka), a classmate of Kiyomi's, comes to the restaurant. Kiyomi and her friends end up sitting at a table with Ayano, who has brought her 5-year-old daughter, and try to get through the situation while trying to ignore the awkwardness of Takahashi being at a childhood friend's gathering.
However, unexpected events occur one after another, such as his smartphone nearly falling to the floor, his car getting stuck in a groove in the parking lot, and a taxi passing by with its "SOS light on." Each time, Takahashi ends up using his power in front of Ayano. Having used his power too much, Takahashi plots with Kiyomi to soak in the hot springs at the hotel where he works on a day off to heal his body from the side effects. They sneak into the hotel without their colleagues noticing, but...
Later in the episode, Takahashi, who managed to get through the hotel entrance with Kiyomi's help, sneaks off to the large public bath, and the hotel manager, Okuda Takahiro (Tanaka Naoki from "Cocorico"), who has cooled down after eating ice cream, also heads to the large public bath to take a dip in the hot spring.
Suddenly, the song "Mt. Fuji" by the music group Denki Groove started playing in the background, and on social media, many people expressed surprise and amusement. Comments such as "What is this Mt. Fuji song lol", "The background music is bothering me so much that I can't concentrate on the video lol", "I burst out laughing", "Definitely the funniest thing I've seen this year", and "I was surprised by the sudden Denki Groove" were posted, and the video became a hot topic.
