Recap of the previous episode

The most recent episode starts where the latest one left off. Chika Suzugamori goes to Hiroshima with her friend Yui and her fellow mangaka senior, Fuyune. She sets up the mission given by her editor to explore during this travel and come up with an idea that can impress readers in her manga draft, which is something that becomes the basis of the episode.
As has been the case throughout this season, the trio has a lot of new experiences and also shows Yui and Fuyune bonding, with the latter revealing that Chika became her assistant when the protagonist was in her first year of high school. Furthermore, thanks to Yui's smart interpretation of Fuyune's comments, they explain to Chika that she needs to give her main characters the feelings she experienced in these travels.
During the last portion of the episode, as they are journeying across several places to rest, eat, and explore as tourists, Chika comes to the realization that she didn't come up with any ideas for her draft. However, her friends point out that she must use what she has gone through in her work and inject it into her stories, such as the event of this episode, where their train stopped because it ran over an animal, giving the protagonist a sense of ease.
What to expect from Zatsu Tabi episode 9?

Zatsu Tabi episode 9 is bound to show a lot more of Chika's adventures as a struggling mangaka and also her traveling somewhere else to connect and find inspiration. Furthermore, people can expect some of her friends to be involved in the story, which has been a constant throughout the season.
