When it comes to the latest installment, it begins with the protagonist, Chika Suzugamori, talking with one of her mangaka friends, Fuyune Kojiya, who recommends they go traveling together. She also mentions bringing a friend of hers, Riri Tenkubashi, since Chika could work with the latter as an assistant, and this journey could create some bonds between them.

As they are traveling together and enjoying these new experiences, Chika realizes that Riri uses any excuse to drink alcohol, which leads to the revelation that the protagonist isn't old enough to drink yet. Moreover, while they are visiting the different attractions of Kyoto, Fuyune's lighthearted nature and extreme creativity come in full force, constantly coming up with ideas for new manga series.

Chika and her friends stay at a good hotel where the protagonist wakes up the next morning and sees Riri drawing several of her manga ideas since she doesn't want to forget. This helps both ladies to form a stronger bond, much to Fuyune's joy, and the episode ends with Chika and Riri beginning to work together on the latter's manga.

Zatsu Tabi episode 5 is very likely to give Chika Suzugamori another journey to make since that is the mechanic of the series, but it is also bound to show some of the previous characters in this installment. That is because the main characters are already introduced, so there is a chance that the upcoming journey might feature some of them yet again.
