Ep 8. Chit-chan's Gift

Chit-chan's Gift is the eighth episode of the third season of Shonen Ashibe GO! GO! Goma-chan. In this episode, Chit-chan, one of the regular characters, is feeling down because her parents are busy and have no time to make her favorite rice balls for lunch. Ashibe and his friends, including Goma-chan, notice her sadness and decide to help her. They come up with the idea of making her a special bento box as a surprise gift, which includes all her favorite foods.

But making the bento box turns out to be a challenging task. First, they need to figure out what Chit-chan's favorite foods are, which takes some investigating. They have to ask her friends and even spy on her during lunchtime to learn her preferences. Then, they have to gather all the ingredients, which proves to be difficult since some of them are rare and not easily available. They have to visit several shops and even borrow things from Chit-chan's school's cafeteria to get everything they need.

Finally, they get to work on making the bento box, but it's not as easy as they thought. They make several attempts and fail miserably each time. They burn the rice, spill the sauces, and mess up the presentation. However, they don't give up and keep trying until they get it right.

Once the bento box is ready, they sneak it into Chit-chan's classroom and surprise her with it during lunchtime. She's overjoyed and touched by their gesture, and thanks them for making her day. They all enjoy the lunch together and have a great time. However, when Chit-chan asks who made the bento box, they all get shy and refuse to tell her, as they want to keep it a surprise.

The rest of the episode revolves around Chit-chan's efforts to find out who made the bento box. She asks all her friends and even considers spying on them, but they all refuse to reveal the truth. Eventually, Chit-chan figures out who made the bento box, and it leads to a heartwarming moment of gratitude and friendship.

Overall, Chit-chan's Gift is a heartwarming and feel-good episode that highlights the importance of friendship and kindness.
