The narrator, who claims to have heard of expensive bar scams from TV shows and manga, decides to conduct an undercover investigation to expose such practices. He visits a bar in Tokyo, disguised under a hat to avoid being recognized. He orders water and snacks, expecting to pay around 4000 yen, but the bill ends up being much higher due to additional charges for items brought to his table without his knowledge.
A heated argument follows, with the bar staff insisting that the inflated prices are standard and the narrator refusing to pay. The narrator, who admits to being a YouTuber and plans to share the incident online, eventually leaves the bar after a compromise is reached: he pays the 4000 yen but the bar staff agrees not to pursue the matter publicly. The narrator concludes that Tokyo's nightlife entertainment business can be dangerous and advises viewers to be careful and not to follow touts.
