One day, Happosai wakes up feeling a sense of sadness. He realizes that he has spent his entire life pursuing pleasure and selfish desires and has not contributed anything meaningful to society. As he wanders the streets of Tokyo, he sees a group of children playing and decides to help them by fixing their broken toys. Seeing the children's happy faces brings joy to Happosai's heart and he decides to continue making people happy.
As he moves around the city, Happosai finds ways to make people happy, from repairing broken items to helping a woman catch a loose bird.

However, in the process, he accidentally destroys a statue that the woman had created. Happosai is devastated by this and feels that he has undone all the good work he had done so far.
The woman, seeing how distraught Happosai is, tells him that the statue was not important compared to the lives he had saved. This, along with the kind words of the children he had helped earlier, causes Happosai to realize that the happiness he has brought to others is more valuable than any object.
The episode ends with Happosai returning to his home, with a newfound sense of purpose and happiness. He begins to clean up his messy house and even starts to contribute to household chores, much to the surprise of Cologne and the other members of the Tendo dojo.
