Summary

The Blizzard Group needs to replace their car, and Fubuki points out that the piles of nearby job flyers could add up to the five million they need if everyone pitches in. The members throw themselves into odd jobs for a full week yet only scrape together three and a half million between them. Fubuki, meanwhile, has pulled in two million on her own, pushing the total past the goal.

Baffled by her haul, the group asks how she managed it, and she cryptically explains that she put her body on the line. The remark is badly misread until she produces the stack of completed bounty flyers behind her earnings. With the money in hand, they finally buy a new vehicle. Almost immediately a monster alert comes in, and the team rushes out in the new car, only to get bogged down in traffic. Saitama ends up defeating the monster before they can arrive.
