Saburo played by Kusanagi Tsuyoshi (Sasaki Fusai no Jingi Naki Tatakai, SMAP) rushed to the ferry that he thought was taking Riko played by Tanaka Rena (Drug Store Girl, Gegege no Kitaro) away, but it was only a sightseeing boat that was returning to the same pier. Minami played by Matsushita Nao (Top Caster, Good Job) and Shosuke (Deru Toko Demasho!, Mop Girl) both witnessed Riko in Saburo’s arms when the exhausted author had fallen asleep. After the recap the episode begins with Saburo finishing up a class he’s teaching when he’s confronted by Shosuke who wants to know why he was hugging Riko, Saburo explains that it’s just a misunderstanding. Shosuke isn’t really convinced and tells Saburo that Minami had also witnessed the encounter and she was crying because of it. Riko’s in front of Saburo’s apartment when Saburo tells her that she has again caused problems with Minami and wants to know why she was in his room. She explains that her water pressure isn’t as good as his shower, and then adds you shouldn’t be angry about “that”. He wants to know why he should be angry, she’s managed to separate a pipe in the shower flooding his apartment. Riko encourages him to finish fixing the link so they can have a strategy meeting for locating her old boyfriend Nonomura Shunsuke.I loved the shower scene where Riko’s standing there with an umbrella telling him to hurry up so he can help her find her boyfriend, but for me the best was with the idol body pillow that his co-workers think he’s packed for their overnight trip, now they all give him strange looks and think he’s a pervert.
