In episode 6 of My Deer Friend Nokotan, titled The Summer Deer Festival, a series of short stories were showcased. These stories included Nokotan displaying her psychic abilities, making coffee by pouring coffee powder into her head, using her antlers to raise funds for the student council, and most significantly, launching the Deer Club’s merchandise.

The items available for purchase included Nokotan’s notable dialogues and her signature antlers, which quickly gained popularity upon their initial release. Additionally, to show appreciation for their fans, the merchandise was offered at a discounted price of 90% off on the opening day, despite already being priced at a premium.

In the previous few short stories, Chaharu, a member of the Student Council, was shown purchasing merchandise. She kindly gifted one item to Kinu, who was ecstatic to receive it. Seeing how much they both enjoyed their gifts, Neko also decided to order every item available from the Deer Club.

Following the short stories, episode 6 of My Deer Friend Nokotan began with the start of the summer season and the students transitioning to their summer attire. Meanwhile, in the Deer Club, Nokotan had developed white spots on her body.

According to Bashame, the white spots on the stems of rice plants could be a symptom of a disease known as rice blasts. This was a cause for concern for Nokotan, who then entrusted everything to Torako before leaving the clubroom. As Nokotan was preparing to depart, Tsunoda (a deer) entered and it was noticed that he also had white spots, indicating that he was molting.

The molting season had arrived and Nokotan, like all deer, was shedding her coat. She playfully picked up some of her molted fur and offered it to Bashame, who put it on and experienced the sensation of shedding that Nokotan goes through every day.

In episode 6 of My Deer Friend Nokotan, the focus shifted to the Student Council. It was revealed that Neko’s fellow members had planned to destroy the Deer Club, but Chiharu and Kinu had changed their minds and no longer wanted to do so. While Nokotan was addressing the student council, he suddenly appeared and surprised Neko.

Nokotan presented a peculiar, antlered creature that she claimed was a tsuchinoko, a snake-like yokai. She insisted that she had unearthed it, but Neko was not yet willing to acknowledge its yokai nature.

The group’s next topic of discussion was the creature’s dietary preferences. Nokotan was saddened when the creature refused to eat deer crackers, but Kinu came to the rescue by offering it some chalk, which it happily consumed. As they observed the creature eating, Neko couldn’t help but find it endearing and promised to always protect it.
