Episode synopsis
Seiichiro was sent to the scene by the Sales Development Department after being beaten by a famous interior designer who tried to prove Narumi's innocence. However, Narumi went around Kenichiro without regrets when he asked for a boring errand. One day, Kenichiro took the position of "explainer" and persuaded the local residents to oppose the condominium construction plan of Yoshiki Yamazaki, the general manager of the sales development department. Around the same time, Knieda, who had just been released from prison, appears under Narumi. Kunieda is a former boyfriend of Narumi. He was arrested for growing cannabis, rooted because of Narumi and pushed the meeting, but Narumi responded casually. There, he looked up the history of Narumi's mobile phone and found out Kenichiro's name, and thought he was a newcomer and joined the company. In addition, Narumi lied that it was Kenichirou's wisdom to tell her about her cannabis to distract Kunieda.
