In Episode 3, VTuber Watase Kiwi switches between her online persona and her real-life identity. Online, she enjoys the admiration and applause of her fans. Offline, Kiwi is portrayed as a lonely person, which stands in stark contrast to her virtual image.

Kiwi’s childhood friend Mahiru presents her with a drawing of JELEE-chan, a new avatar for a joint project by Kiwi, Kano, and Mei. Kiwi agrees to help produce a music video for a song composed by Mei with Kano’s lyrics. Meanwhile, Mahiru prepares to perform as Ama-no-Uzume at her school’s festival.

At the festival, Mahiru learns from Kiwi’s classmates that Kiwi falsely claimed to be student council president and has stopped attending school due to social ostracism. When confronted, Kiwi angrily admits to the deception. Nevertheless, Mahiru supports her, seeing Kiwi as her personal heroine, akin to the goddess Amaterasu.

During the festival, Mahiru performs a dance meant to symbolize her support for Kiwi. She records this performance in the hopes of encouraging Kiwi. Later, Kiwi watches the performance, leading to a reconciliatory conversation where she apologizes to Mahiru for her earlier outburst and the deception about her school status. Mahiru forgives her and reaffirms his admiration.

Kiwi then successfully integrates Kano’s lyrics, Mei’s music, and Mahiru’s artwork into a music video, which she presents during her livestream.
