Summary

Two large men square up in the street. Koichi steps in to break it up and gets slapped hard enough to leave a mark on his face. Heading off afterward to a meeting at the Marukane, he tells Kazuho that ever since he started relying on Wall Cling he seems to get knocked around more than he ever used to. Her diagnosis is simpler: he cannot stop inserting himself into other people's business. Asked where Makoto is, Kazuho says she is at the hospital visiting someone they know.

The meeting brings Koichi and Kazuho together with several Featherhats members on business. The Marukane has committed to opening an official Narufest shop selling group merchandise, so the agenda is a brainstorm on what that merchandise should be, and everyone throws out suggestions. Ichimoku, Jube and Teruo show up to lend a hand, having built up real merchandising experience as fans of Pop since her early days performing on the streets, and they want to put that knowledge behind the official Featherhats products.

Koichi, asleep until this point, wakes up and proposes All Might hoodies. The room objects that no link whatsoever exists between their group and the hero in question. He tries to explain his reasoning and it lands on nobody. Makoto then arrives, rapidly signs off on several proposals including the hoodie idea, and leaves again with Captain Celebrity for another meeting.

Heading home together afterward, Koichi is delighted his pitch got through. Kazuho, unconvinced the hoodies have anything to do with them, considers talking him out of it, then decides to let him enjoy the fantasy. Two weeks later Makoto turns up with the finished merchandise. Koichi cannot wait and tears open the hoodie box, only to find Captain Celebrity's hoodies rather than All Might's. His visible misery puzzles Makoto, who cannot fathom why he wanted the All Might version given how unconnected the hero is to anything they run.
