Bocchi is approached by foreigner Sotoka Rakita, who becomes downhearted when Bocchi tells her that she is not a ninja. Bocchi tries to cheer Sotoka up by making origami shurikens, offering to be friends with her, but this leads Sotoka to believe that Bocchi is a ninja master in disguise and ask to become her apprentice instead. Despite this hurdle, Bocchi begins training Sotoka, asking to be friends with her once they are done.
