Nikomaru Can't Keep Smiling

S1 E2: Hinohikari has decided to enter the Harvest Festival in order to start not a rice boom, but a rice riot. He asks Nikomaru, Akitakomachi, Hitomebore, Sasanishiki, and Chinkobozu to join him, but none of them are willing. Finally Nikomaru can't bear to watch anymore and offers him a surprising suggestion, but can Hinohikari bring himself to take him up on it?
