Plot[]
On a typical mundane day in the sextuplet's lives, the brothers can't find anything entertaining to do to pass the time.
As Karamatsu, Choromatsu and Jyushimatsu collectively wonder what they should be doing, Jyushimatsu randomly suggests that they should make some Takoyaki; Karamatsu agrees, declaring that they'll have a party, but Choromatsu becomes angry with them at their dull conclusion.
Totoko, who was passing by, overhears their quarrel and decides she wants to join in with the party as well. This surprises the brothers and they rush to retrieve Osomatsu and Todomatsu from their local fishing spot.
The five of them race home, where Ichimatsu is confused watching their frantic preparations. He overhears his brothers discussing the upcoming party that they've having with Totoko and becomes frustrated at the lack of information he has on the situation. Nevertheless, he begrudgingly follows suit, and the six of them beg for the supplies they need from their friends.
Shortly after they've finished setting up, Totoko arrives, and to sextuplet's surprise she brought along Nyaa and her daughter. As they begin to prepare the grill, Chibita, Hatabō, Dayōn, Dekapan and Iyami all show up uninvited; Shake and Ume transform into extra grills to accommodate the extra guests. Throughout the party the brothers quietly fight each other in desperate attempts to get closer to the girls.
When the party is finally over Iyami refuses to leave, drowsily stating that he's going to stay the night. Totoko hears this and announces that she also wants to stay over, shocking everyone into silence. Due to this, everyone else winds up staying for a sleepover as well.
The futons are prepared and a few games were played to start off the night. Once everyone decides to go to sleep, Totoko refuses, proclaiming she wants to continue drinking. Osomatsu and his brothers consecutively agree with her, and everyone stays up a bit longer sharing drinks and snacks.
When morning comes around, the sextuplets agree that they finally need to sleep. They wish everyone well but Totoko declares that she wants to keep hanging out, confusing everyone else.
Morning turns to midday, and then again into night; days pass by and the house is found trashed, with a majority of the group collapsed from exhaustion and fatigue. The sextuplets are astounded at Totoko's energy and persistence to keep going as she offers up another drink.
Finally, Nyaa scolds her for wearing everyone out, demanding to know why she's doing this. Totoko goes quiet, then sheepishly admits how much she wished to spend more time together with everyone, and how she doesn't want that moment to end. Her statement makes a few others realize that they haven't had fun in a while due to life getting in the way, and the fact that it's taken a toll on them mentally.
The sexuplets attempt to ignore Totoko's request in order to get some sleep but to their dismay, no one else will let them. With new found energy, the games continue, and more people show up keeping the sextuplets awake whilst they desperately wail for a break.
Eventually, the days go back to normal as everyone contently resumes their average daily lives, fortunately or not for the sextuplets, this means going back to having nothing to do.
