The episode begins with Sato and his friend, Oshiroi Hana, browsing the aisles of the local supermarket, scouting out their next half-priced bento target. They come across a tempting Hokkaido-style fried chicken bento, but before they can claim it, they are interrupted by a group of elite half-priced bento fighters known as the "Ice Witch Alliance."
Led by the stern and imposing Sen Yarizui, the Ice Witch Alliance is notorious for their ruthless tactics and impeccable teamwork. Sato and Hana know they're no match for them, but Sato can't resist the lure of the Hokkaido-style fried chicken bento.

At first, it was just a way to save money and indulge in some tasty meals. But now, he sees it as a kind of sport, a way to test his limits and prove himself in battle.
Finally, Sato reaches the checkout counter, where he must face off against his final challenger: the bento's original owner, a skilled fighter named Yu Kaneshiro. The two engage in a fierce battle, trading blows and strategies in a dynamic display of combat.
In the end, Sato emerges victorious, claiming the Hokkaido-style fried chicken bento as his prize. But as he and Hana savor the delicious meal, Sato can't help but feel a twinge of guilt over the violence and competition that went into acquiring it.
