"That's the best!!" Hachiware's Positive Words Blow Away the Sadness and Raise the Mood in Chiikawa Episode 106

In episode 106 of the anime "Chiikawa," Chiikawa (voiced by Haruka Aoki) and Hachiware (voiced by Makoto Tanaka) are unable to go out due to bad weather, but their spirits are lifted in a scene where they get excited over the contents of Chiikawa's stuffed-full bag.

Chiikawa and Hachiware are about to go out, but outside, thunder crashes and the weather is terrible. "Thunder... scary..." Hachiware says, making a suggestion to Chiikawa: "Why don't we go out another time...?" Chiikawa, looking disappointed with tears welling up, nods in agreement.

When the two return to Chiikawa's house, Hachiware notices Chiikawa's bag is overflowing. Inside, they find snacks—candy and nuts ("ame" and "mi"). Instantly, Hachiware's spirits soar, and with a complete mood shift, he exclaims, "Snacks!? That's the best!!" in high excitement.

This scene received many comments, such as, "Hachiware-chan's words blew away the sadness of not being able to go" and "Hachiware is the best at lifting the mood when things are disappointing!" There were also reactions like, "The shape of the pochette is just too funny," and "I hope they get to go out another time."
